Cruise Search

View Expanded Search Search Help

You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:

Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.

→ In the "Advanced Search"

Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.

Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!

Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.

Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.

→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour

If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Carnival Sensation, one of Carnival Cruise Lines' 70,000+-ton Fantasy Class ships, is a fantastic choice for those looking for a fun and affordable cruise vacation. This ship sails year-round from Port Canaveral, Florida (driving distance from Orlando) and exclusively does short (3- and 4-night) Bahamas cruises.

There are many dining venues and options available on a Carnival Sensation cruise. For instance, there are main dining rooms (where you can choose between their Assigned and Your Time, also known as open, Dining programs), the Seaview Bar & Grill (featuring a buffet, deli and pizzeria), a rotisserie, as well as 24-hour room service.

Following a refurbishment in 2017, new venues also include BlueIguana Cantina & Tequila Bar, Guy's Burger Joint, RedFrog Rum Bar, Alchemy Bar and sweet shop Cherry On Top! Kids ages 2 - 11 can also take advantage of the newly added Camp Ocean.

While on a Carnival Sensation cruise you'll have a large selection of entertainment venues and things to do. Fantasia is the ship's main show lounge, where there's a wonderful live performance during each night of the cruise. Among the possible shows are dancers, singers, acrobats, musicians, magicians, comedians and game shows. If you're feeling lucky while on a Carnival Sensation cruise you'll be able to test your luck at Club Vegas Casino (where you can play games including blackjack, roulette, craps, poker and slot machines).

There's a great age-based youth program available on all Carnival Sensation cruises. Camp Carnival is a supervised program that's just for 2 through 11 year olds. Circle "C" is a cool spot for 12 to 14 year olds, featuring video games, late night movies, Karaoke and more. Club O2 is for 15 to 17 year olds, and offers them a hangout where they can enjoy music, video games, food and new friends.
