Semi-Late Sensation Review

[CheersPkg4Us]

We recently did the Sept 28 - Oct 3 sailing on the Sensation with another couple. We all had faster to the  fun. Once we got to the terminal, we never stopped moving until we reached the obligatory group picture log jam. Then it was on to the Atrium bar where we ordered our first drink using our boarding passes. We were booked on the 7th floor, so our rooms were just right around the corner. We had a balcony and our friends had an interior room 2 doors down. We grabbed our sail and sign cards and were off to the Atrium bar again, then headed to the Lido. After lunch we started walking around checking everything out. After reading horror stories about the condition of the Sensation,we didn't know what to expect. DW and I were pleasantly surprised with what we saw. First stop was Nassau, none of wanted to snorkel or do a day pass to Atlantis so we all decided to just walk around town. Next stop was Half Moon Cay. Weather was perfect and the Hamburgers and Hotdogs were excellent. Last stop was Grand Turk, this is the stop we all looked forward to. We've been once previously but stayed at Margaritaville. After hearing about Topher, DW joined his Facebook page. We read his bio and noticed his hometown was Lebanon Junction Kentucky, thats where where we are from. We got to talk to Jack, Janet and their daughter and found out Topher was born on the street across from us ! How cool is that. Our MDR visits were some of our best we've experienced. A few crew members I'd like to mention were Salvo and Christian at the Atrium bar, awesome, funny and felt like friends. Also, Ceasar and Julia at the Alchemy bar, I cannot say enough about these two. Once again the Cheers package more than paid for itself. Looking back, a great time was had by all !!!

Thanks so much for your impressions.  We leave in a few weeks and I'm glad to hear you found her in decent enough shape.  Looking at pics it seems like there is plenty of outdoor seating...did you ever notice people having problems finding lounge chairs?

Any of photos or scans of fun times or MDR menus?  We are going next month for Christmas

Kimberlym4, we never had any problems finding chair or tables and a bartender at the Atrium bar told us the ship was at almost full capacity.

I'm sailing on her in March and we all have FTTF as well.  Do you recall what time you got to the terminal?  Did you park at the port?  If so, about how long is the walk from the parking garage to the terminal?

dlphn501, we flew in and took a taxi to our hotel. Next morning we took the 10 am shuttle from hotel to the port.  Usually a short 15 minute drive, but when we got to the port the traffic was really heavy. Every line had a ship going out. We were dropped off at the terminal entrance at 10:45 am, and ordering our first drink at the Atrium bar at 11:00am !
