jessicalorene Posted August 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi everyone! Next summer I am taking my first cruise on a non Voyager class ship, Splendour. We are staying in an aft JS and are super excited for this trip! I was just wondering what are some things to expect for differences, what are some favorite things about Splendour and if anyone wanted to share some AFT JS pictures with me ! Thanks!

yolanda1 Posted August 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi everyone! Next summer I am taking my first cruise on a non Voyager class ship, Splendour. We are staying in an aft JS and are super excited for this trip! I was just wondering what are some things to expect for differences, what are some favorite things about Splendour and if anyone wanted to share some AFT JS pictures with me ! Thanks! I loved Splendour! My favourite things were the glass covered Solarium, and the delicious sandwiches at the Solarium cafe. We missed both of these things on Navigator, although we loved the ship itself. We also loved the fact it had so many windows. It made the ship feel very light. We were in a JS on Splendour, but it wasn't an aft one. It was great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted August 6, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The solarium is actually covered?! Thats neat! Is it still an adult area (primarily) ? Yes, all Vision class ships have covered solariums. The pool area is supposed to be for 16 and over, but the addition of Park Cafe tends to increase family traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted August 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2013 We were on Splendour last year and greatly enjoyed the solarium on the at sea days. I enjoyed sitting with my Kindle and occasionally getting some reading in. More often I dozed. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblock Posted August 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I enjoy the many indoor areas where you can see the sea (Cafe Latte-Tudes, the Centrum bar, etc.) I enjoy the outdoor seating area just behind the gym and the spa, away from the pool. I love the smaller and more intimate feel (though somehow it's still impossible to find a table in the Windjammer...) And I especially love the Splendour summer itineraries. Sailaway from Venice is fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted August 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sailaway from Venice is fabulous! Do you recall which dock you sailed from in Venice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted August 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Do you recall which dock you sailed from in Venice? It is different each week. We cruised on the Splendour in June. We left from oe dock and returned to another. The Concierge told us that this was common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicalorene Posted August 6, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The sail away is a big draw to my aft cabin :) I cannot wait to see it! I also like the idea of indoor places where you can see the sea ... I'm really looking forward to trying a new class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
