Review summary

We had such a great time on the Sensation everyone was friendly. No complaints. The lido deck restaurant had a nice variety of foods and desserts.

It was quick and easy. We showed up early and was able to get right on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
It was all delicious! My mom got to main meals in the dining room because she couldn't make up her mind!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My son and I only did the pool on the first night. It was too crowded and full of drunks by the end of the night.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Francesco was amazing! It was my mom's first cruise and she loves to dance. He spotted her immediately and became friends with her! She had a blast.

Children's Programs

My son stayed in camp ocean. He had a good time minis one experience but it was also his first time cruising so he was scared. The towel animal theater was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Heri, our room steward was great. We loved the towel animals everyday. My son brought along his lion which we added the towel animals to by having them ride the lion and we had his build a bear leopard riding the dinosaur. Kumango, P. Gede and Gede were awesome! We requested them every night. P. Gede made friends with my son quickly which is not easy to do. He put fries under his pizza in case he didn't like the pizza. They put on magic shows for him. We asked about their families. They were simply amazing people who loved their jobs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
No complaints. I think there should be another pool in the front of the ship rather than the track and golf but hey we can't have it all.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I got the smallest room because we are only there to sleep! We only had one issue with the toilet which was quickly resolved. It was good enough for us.

Ship tip

Take the stairs. Otherwise you might miss parts of the ship you did t know existed our couldn't figure out how to get to a level to find something you had seen from a different floor.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We only had dinner at a restaurant it was good but I don't remember it now.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
The beach was great not over crowded. There was music, food, showers. There was construction going on nearby curious to see how that turned out. No excursions. We stopped by the jewelry store. They were having a drawing for our shop which we participated in not expecting to win. Guess what! My mom won! She came home with a necklace!

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Absolutely fantastic. We participated in the sand castle building contest. We got third place with the coorobiration of an octopus, a sunbather and a small castle. All the activities were great. The food was delicious. We enjoyed seeing the chickens and roosters running around.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
No excursions. The beach was right off the pier. A couple dogs walked the beach greating everyone.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It went by rather smoothly but there were some grumpy passengers that expected to do things their way.
