Review summary

The ship we sailed on was named the Sensation. It was beautiful, and HUGE! pools were to small however. Sun deck and sports deck were NOT handicap accessible no elevator to those areas. Our room was one with a balcony it was very spacious, comfort was unsurpassed by even 5 star hotels. The room service and the crew for cleaning was outstanding. The ship offered many fun filled areas. Several bars, all with different types of music to suit the needs of most passengers. One comedian [Happy Cole] was extremely funny, we went to his Adult Only show late evening. I do not remember the second comedian 's name; probably because she wasn't worth remembering, her show consisited of nothing but smut. Yes there is a difference between funny use of profanity and just plain smut. The dance shows were outstanding as well as the juggling acts. The towel folding seminar is a fun thing to do. You learn to make those neet towel creatures you find in your state room every evening. All of the staff was very helpful friendly and fun they remember your name. VERY IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION --- make certain you book your shore excursions as soon as you can even before the cruise or you may not get what you want to do because it will be sold out. The Dolphin adventure sold out within the first 10 minutes of arriving on the ship for both days

were were assigned the same staff members and table for the entire cruise so we really got to know our waitress she was wonderful and fun. the room staff was very efficient and took care of any little thing right away. I felt like a queen waited on hand and foot UNBELIEVABLE the staff could not have been better in any way

Cabin / Stateroom

Better than a 5 stare hotel as for the suites with the balcony. I did see the inside state rooms they are very small. I would recommend the mini suite atleast for anyone who asks
