A passenger on the four day cruise ending today writes that there was a group onboard and many of the lounges/discos were closed at night for the private party. The ship looked like someone used it as their own personal garbage can (half eaten apples thrown in the stairwell, drinking glasses). I watched one woman argue (VERY loudly) with a bartender that since someone spilled her drink, HE should give her a free drink. He ended up giving it to her just to get her to shut up. We couldn't walk up the stairs with our children without these passengers CHASING each other down them at top speed, running through the halls, knocking on cabin doors. And then to top it off, someone defecated in the CHILDREN'S pool and all who saw it swear it was an ADULT who did it. | Unruly group |

Departures was delayed several hours after the US Coast
Guard received an anonymous phone call about a bomb on board.
Passengers and crew were evacuated during a two hour search of
the ship. The call was determined to be a hoax. |

Incident |
| 2.4.06 |
Because of continuing problems with the Sensation's
propulsion, it has been reported that the ships will switch
itineraries with Fantasy on April 6. Both operate out of Port
Canaveral. |
Ship Switch |
| 28.3.06 |
The ship will have to shorten its current trip to the Bahamas, missing a stop at Grand Turk, because of a problem with the ship's propulsion system. The Sensation is not able to travel fast enough to reach Grand Turk, and instead will stop at Freeport. The same will be the case on the next cruise. |

Coast Guard inspectors
detained the ship at Port Canaveral
until the captain and crew could fix violations related to the ship's
fire-control systems. The ship was supposed to set sail at 4 p.m.
on a four-day voyage to the Bahamas, but will be delayed until late in
the evening. Inspectors found deficiencies in fire-safety
systems, specifically
some fire screen doors, fire station valves - which are like a
fire hydrant - and watertight doors. Repairs were made and the
ship finally left more than 6 hours late. There were apparently
problems on the cruise, and 8 passengers were forcibly evicted from
ship when in the Bahamas -- details can be found here
and here. |

A 19 year old man climbed over a railing and threatened to
kill himself after an argument with his girlfriend. After his
girlfriend pleaded with him to climb to safety, he complied, but
slipped and fell into Hillsborough Bay (Tampa). He did not
survive. |
Accidental death |

A power faiulure lasted several
hours and caused a change in itinerary -- the ship skipped St. Thomas
and went to St. Croix instead of St. Maarten. |
