Just off Splendor...questions?

[betta128]

We just returned today from the Splendor. Although I'm not going to do a full review I will try to answer your questions if you have any.

 

I will point out a few things

 

1. Décor is horrible, should it effect your cruise...no

2. Service is wonderful. We had Ariel as our room steward, and Putra

(Pooh Bear) as our waiter and could not have asked for nicer, more

helpful people.

3. Layout of ship is very confusing, especially figuring out how to get to

our muster station.

4. We ate all but one dinner, and all but one breakfast in the Black Pearl

Dining room. All of the food was good, hot, and served in a timely

fashion.

5. It seemed that the buffets would close prior to the listed times.

6. Always seats in the Rotisserie. The first buffet line coming in from the

center pool, is the Mongolian Wok, if you walk back further to the next

set of buffet lines you will find the Burrito Bar, still further back you

will find the deli, and Tandoori, the Pizza and Grill (hamburgers and

hot dogs) are right by the center pool.

7. Formal nights - there were people in nice dresses, suits, etc. However

there were also people in shorts, t-shirts, and ball caps. The only

place we found the dress code was enforced was the Steakhouse.

They did turn people away that had shorts on (asked them to go

change).

8. This was only our third cruise (two on Royal) but I didn't think there

were as many, or a large variety of activities while on board.

9. Steakhouse was wonderful.

 

Ok ask away!

What was your itinerary?

Was the pool area packed with people ?

I was on the same cruise...yes, the pool area was packed! Could always find a chair on the higher decks. I agree, the Steakhouse was great, a must do!!

We did Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. Yes pools were packed, but chairs could always be found if you were willing to go up higher.

Thinking of booking the Splendor, unfortunately it is PC, Nassua, Freeport. If it was your itinerary I would book in a heartbeat! I love HMC and GT (been twice).

Just to vent....I don't understand why Carnival has the Splendor and Pride doing the same itinerary the same week that I want in March!
