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

Don't sleep on these smaller ships, you know, the fantasy class ships. I know they're older, but it is awesome.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Carnival Check-In station at Miami Airport for faster boarding.
Check out the secret decks forward on the ship for great views.
Wait until after 1:30 PM to enter staterooms unless you have priority status.
