vee12 Posted November 11, 2014 #152 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for reading!! Yes there are plenty of places to sit in the shade and watch the water go by. Thanks for following along. I've had two great cruises on her, and wouldn't mind sailing on her again. Thanks for the great review it's taking me back to the cruise :).

Rare Jamman54 Posted November 12, 2014 Author #160 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hello again everyone! It’s time to tell you about our 3rd and last sea day. Seems strange to say, since the cruise is not even half over, but here goes….. I was up at 6:30 hoping to catch another sunrise, but it’s a cloudy day….. You could even see rain showers off in the distance….. Looking forward towards the bridge, I could see that the seas were once again smooth and very calm….. I decided to sleep in a little longer, so about 9am I made my way up to the Lido deck to grab some breakfast. I couldn’t believe how crowded the Splendido Pool area was, with towel animals of all sizes….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted November 12, 2014 Author #161 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Those cute little towel animals were all over the Splendido Pool area….. Looking down on the aft omelet line from the Deck 10 seating area by the Rotisserie….. To be continued…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted November 12, 2014 Author #162 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looking down on the Continental Breakfast station from Deck 10….. Here is the beverage station up on Deck 10….. I decided to do a public service for my faithful readers, and try those so called scrambled eggs from the Breakfast Grill. I had read that they had been improved, and I’m happy to say that they were a heck of a lot better than last year on the Splendor. However, you can’t go wrong with the made to order eggs and omelets, or the Sea Day Brunch. Here is my 3rd sea day breakfast….. After breakfast, I made my way to The Web to check emails, and then headed to the Fun Shops to do a little shopping….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted November 12, 2014 Author #163 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I needed to pick up my embarkation photo, so I made a quick stop at the Pixels Gallery….. After I dropped the goods off at my cabin, I spent about 3 or 4 hours playing blackjack in the casino, interrupted only briefly by an attempt to qualify for a seat in the finals of the first slot tournament of the cruise. I won a few hundred this afternoon. Around 3pm, I made my way down to the Board Room for our roll calls final game of LCR. We had a lot of fun, and someone walks away with a little bit of cash….. Today’s pot is starting to grow….. Nothing better than a GREAT group of people playing LCR….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted November 12, 2014 Author #164 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The guy in the green walked away with the cash today….. At 5pm I made my way to the El Morroco Lounge for the Diamond cocktail party with the Captain. Why such a large lounge? Because there were 101 Diamonds on this cruise, almost double the previous record for Diamonds on the Splendor which was set on her South America cruises. Here is our table picture….. Here I am with Ty, an amazingly talented singer who performs Motown and Beyond with the Splendor Show Band several times during the cruise. Don’t miss her if she is on your sailing….. Here is the Splendor Show Band….. CD Malcolm Burn addresses the gathering….. Captain Candeloro Donato speaks to the Diamond members….. To be continued…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted November 12, 2014 Author #165 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hotel Director Nickos D. Batistatos says a few words….. The party lasted about an hour, with plenty to drink and eat. The ship’s photographers were busy taking pictures, which they gave to us for free….. After the party, I went back to the casino to play more blackjack, but gave back about half of what I had won previously. Oh well, can’t win them all. Soon it was time to head to dinner. Tonight, I started off with the fried shrimp…… Followed by an order of pot stickers….. And for my main, I had the Seafood Newburg…… I finished with two scoops of chocolate ice cream. Tonight’s show in the Spectacular Lounge was “The Beat”, which was pretty good. I love that they are still using the live orchestra for the shows on the Splendor. Afterwards, I made my way to the casino once again to play some blackjack. I should have stayed out of there, as I lost a couple hundred pretty quickly, so now I’m back to even for the cruise. Went next door to the Our House Sports Bar, for a few Thirsty Frog’s, before calling it a night. Tonight’s turn down service….. Coming up next: Land Ho!!! St. Thomas, the first of four port calls!!

scissorhappygrl Posted November 12, 2014 #166 Share Posted November 12, 2014 *sigh* I have to wait. My hubby and I will be cruising her from Miami in January! Love your reviews! I was wondering do they have a Jazz bar on this ship? Thank you! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa0719 Posted November 12, 2014 #167 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Jeff, guess we missed out . . . no pics for us at the Diamond party . . . guess we were too busy drinking. Those wings were great. Wish they'd offer them at other times or in the sports bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funinthesun1964 Posted November 12, 2014 #174 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Loving the review! Miss the Splendor, that was my first cruise in 2009 out of Long Beach. We had the best service in the MDR EVER on that cruise - Roni and Joseph - still remember them well. I think it's time for another cruise on the Splendor sometime in the near future. Carry on!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
