Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Guys burgers was the best!!! The main dining room had decent service, however the food was not tasty. Breakfast on the lido deck (especially the made to order omelettes) was delicious. Lunch was ok. We loved the desserts at lunch but would have preferred the better cakes at dinner time. Dinner food and service was horrible. Just a random hodge podge of food thrown on the buffet. Pizza pirate was decent, however the deli was not good at all. Guys burgers should stay open later on the ship.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was always something to do on the ship. I loved the casino and serenity deck. Bingo was ok.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Erin the cruise Director was always high energy. We loved her! We loved the music trivia nights, Hasbro the game show, the Cubano musical, and the VIP musical where they pulled audience members on stage. All of the performances were amazing!

Children's Programs

Did not have children on this cruise

Ship Quality

The ship was very well maintained and cleaned. I was nervous reading all of the negative reviews but the Sensation is truly a gem.

Perfect size for 2. Very clean. The bed was comfortable.

Ship tip

Do not read the negative reviews. Everything was great. Food could have been better but everything else was fantastic!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We did the Top 10 of Miami tour at the end of the cruise with shuttle to Fort Lauderdale airport. It was a great tour with a few stops!

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
We did the calypso tour and enjoyed it. The island is still a bit run down from hurricanes but there is a lot of interesting history there.
