Ahh that was my first RCI ship. Had I not already had the Serenade booked and paid for, I probably would not have sailed RCI again for a long time. Glad I had another booked.

We loved our sailings on Splendour out of Venice.

Yes a fabulous “little” ship we also had three tremendous cruises on her from Venice.

Just to sail on her again had a sailing on her the other year under her new banner.

They’ve actually done a pretty good job.

That's good to know.

She sailed out of North Shields Newcastle several times last year and we watched her sail out once.

Cool! I was my second and husband’s first ship which got him sold on cruises to the point of addiction!
We sailed on her in May 2004 out of Barcelona.

One of the best designed ship out of Vision class.
Loved views out of Main Dining room!

We loved her too, our 2nd RCL cruise from Venice in 2006 and my favourite RCL cruise to date, her 2015 TA from Santos to Barcelona. The sale had already been announced then and people from Thompson got on in the Canaries to start measuring up!

Think we sailed her a few years ago around the Emirates, I remember it was just before She was sold to Thompson.

We live near Durham 20 minutes away from Tyne Dock Newcastle and would love more ships sailing from here.

MSC Magnifica sailed from Newcastle last year as well as Fred Olsen and C&M.DFDS sail daily to Amsterdam.

Did you sail on Magnificia?

No but it's incredible how close you can get to the ships.

[Norwich Cruiser]

Wow that’s really close.

We did Bellissima earlier this year.

In our opinions absolutely no comparison.
