Creator's Key Takeaways

This will be my ninth Carnival cruise. I'm super excited to share it with you all.

First time on a fantasy class ship. So super excited to be on the Carnival Sensation.

I'm really enjoying that aspect of the cruise.

I highly recommend if you are flying into Miami that you take advantage of that check-in process at the airport.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the airport check-in process at Miami for faster boarding.
Explore the secret decks at the front of the ship for great views.
Wait until after 1:30 PM to access staterooms unless you have priority status.
