Recently went on a girls' trip on the Sensation. I would describe this ship as the "fast food version" of cruises - not exactly the highest quality. But there were certainly good and bad elements of the trip.

I'll begin with the good: The cabins were spacious and the beds were quite comfortable. The serenity, adult only deck was lovely and relaxing. The spa, where I got a massage and facial were excellent, and I enjoyed the excercise facilities.

Now here's the bad: The food was mediocre at best, and much of the time we had to wait in long lines to actually get any. My friend found hair ion her french toast. Another friend found boogers on her bathrobe. And yet another friend found false eyelashes floating in the hot tub.Decor was like a run-down 1980's Vegas casino. The crazy colors and patterns - purple walls and psychedelic carpet -kind of made me nauseous. And the entertainment was mediocre as well. The good parts of the ship were the cabins - fairly large with comfortable beds. The adult only serenity deck was relaxing, as was the spa. Gym facilities weren't bad either.

Cabin Review

Cabin was spacious and beds were very comfortable.
