Review summary

First time to cruise this way just for a weekend getaway and it really served the purpose. The whole experience was smooth, predictable and pleasant. The staff were friendly, approachable and accommodating. The foods were good but same daily. The main dining room experience was the best because the staff were very friendly and very prompt. The buffet choice of entry were understandably limited but repetitive. But overall, the quality and number of choices were reasonable. I recommend this cruise for people who just need a short getaway but be aware that my impression was it is geared towards children and young adults.

Very fair and honest assessment. Nice getaway, and your last line sums it up - Summer, kids, party (my words).

Older ship but "I think I can, I think I can.... "comes to mind. Great times in the past on Sensation as well as other ships in their class
