Me and a friend cruised on the sensation, despite reading several reviews that were not real flattering. However, we had a great time and would sail the Sensation again in a heartbeat.
It's an older ship so some wear and tear might be expected. However, it was extremely clean and in very good condition. We had no problems at all with the cabin or anywhere else. It did not have the crowded feeling that some of the largers ships do. We rarely had to wait in line for anything. There were always lounge chairs on the sundeck available except right around the pool. There were very few chairhogs.
The service was fabulous. The room steward did a great job. The staff in the dining room were awesome. Our food was always served quickly and the staff was friendly and professional and fun. All other staff were polite, upbeat, and exceptional.
We hung out at the port. The pool was nice and large. We did a little shopping and purchased some rum and some coffee. Next time I would love to tour the island. I wish we would have done that this time. It looks like a beautiful island.
Miami is beautiful.
