Carnival Sensation Reviews - Destinations

This ship offers four Sensational itineraries: 4- and 5-day Bahamas cruises and 4-and 5-day Western Caribbean cruises.

Carnival Sensation - Bahamas

Nassau
Nassau is a beautiful place with white-sand beaches, coconut palms offering dappled shade on the sand, and warm, clear, azure waters. Oh, and did we mention the duty-free shopping!- No matter if you choose the 4- or 5-day cruise, you'll have the opportunity to stop at this great port of call.

Freeport
Freeport has some great beauty, as well, but besides the beauty of its beaches, you can enjoy the quaint, colonial-esque walkways and markets. Like Nassau, Freeport is duty-free also. It's also a sportsman's paradise with endless opportunities for snorkeling, sailing, scuba diving, and one of the most impressive golf courses in the world.

Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk
The five-day cruise visits Nassau, Half Moon Cay (Carnival's private island in the Bahamas), and Grand Turk. Located on 55-acres of the 2,400-acre Little San Salvador Island, the award-winning Half Moon Cay is an idyllic setting where you can go horseback riding, play with stingrays, or languidly swirl the umbrella in your drink. Grand Turk is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos. Take the time to explore Cockburn town or perhaps the coral cities under the water's surface.

Carnival Sensation - Western Caribbean

Cozumel
You could find yourself sailing out of New Orleans, Louisiana to Cozumel, Mexico, on the Carnival cruise ship Sensation. Tourists flock here for the snorkeling and scuba diving here, and it is no wonder why. When the sun filters down through the water and illuminates the colorful coral and schools of fish beneath, it is truly magical. Still, if your idea of fun is above the surface rather than below, take a 4x4 Tropical Safari or a Chich "Itz" Mayan Ruins tour, just two of the dozens and dozens of shore excursions available through Carnival.

Costa Maya
Carnival Cruise Sensation visits Costa Maya, the last remaining part of the Mexican coast that has truly undeveloped sections. You can walk for miles and see nothing but a thatch-roof hut. Jungles teeming with a cacophony of wildlife and beaches in which the only thing heard are crashing waves-this is a wondrous place to visit while on your Carnival Cruise Sensation cruise. If you want a peaceful day at the beach or a day of exploration into the area's Mesoamerican history, Costa Maya is the place for you.

Calica/Playa del Carmen
The Carnival cruise ship Sensation could also heads to Calica/Playa del Carmen, a city that has grown in leaps and strides since its days as a quiet fishing village. Nestled on the Caribbean side of Mexico's coast, the city's wonderful weather and beauty couldn't be kept secret for long. Consider a Playa del Carmen Beach and Shopping tour available through Carnival Cruise Line Sensation. However, if you're looking for something a little more rugged or adventurous while on your Carnival Cruise Sensation shore excursion, go horseback riding, hiking, or swimming. Still, there's something to be said for simply drinking a margarita on the beach and watching the tide come in.

On a 5-day trip on Carnival Sensation out of either New Orleans or Tampa, you will also find yourself in Cozumel, Mexico. But depending on the itinerary, you could travel to Calica/Playa del Carmen or Costa Maya.
