	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Oceanview Superb and Spectacular "Splendor" by Jacqui V from Las Vegas Sailing date: Jun 2012 Pros: Capable and Charismatic Crewmembers Cons: mealtimes often conflicted with activities I wanted to participate in\ I loved this cruise, the room was wonderful, the activities enjoyable and accessible, the food delightful, the variety of activities for all ages superb, and the crewmembers made this voyage perfect. I couldn't have asked for better people to make my vacation a success. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality The crewmembers were all so wonderfully friendly, it was like taking a cruise with people you've known all your life. They were so fabulously funny and went out of their way to encourage and include all people. They went out of their way to learn passengers names and even had inside jokes by the end of the cruise. It was fantastic Entertainment & Activities Children's Programs 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: The Perfect Honeymoon by A Traveler from Provo, UT Sailing date: May 2012 It was the perfect honeymoon. We weren't very impressed with the ship's entertainment but made some great friends on the ship. It's easy to have a great time at the ports since there's so much to explore.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Very noisy ship by Zbigniew Kusibab from San Jose , Ca Sailing date: Mar 2012 Cons: Food There was no room for me on this ship. There was music blasting near every pool. Even in adult area, new age electronic music was too laud and drilling through my brain. This music should be set in the background to create relaxing atmosphere. So, I spent most of my time in my room. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food All food was loaded with herbs and spices that killed the real taste of it. The only food that enjoyed was from mongolian wok, where I was able to control herbs, spices and sauces. All other food in buffet and restaurant was overloaded with spices, herbs, gravies and sauces. Gravy was added also added to fillet mignon and I simply wiped it with napkin, and after that I was able somehow to enjoy it. After few days, I was determined to get something light and I ordered fried chicken with potatoes and gravy. Kentucky Fried Chicken makes better gravy than your chef. Gravy was again heavy and dark flavored. Snails, usually treated with light white sauce were served with thyme and sage that killed taste of it. By the end of the cruise I was not sure what I was eating, everything tasted the same. The only good sauce was served with turkey. What you need is Italian or French chef. They know how to develop right taste of food. Your chef is killing it. Appetizers were overloaded with bread.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Suite Awesome time by Greg Y. from Sacramento, CA Sailing date: Feb 2012 Pros: Cabin, staff, food variety Cons: Showtimes Very clean ship. We chose a grand suite this time since we had 2 adults and 2 teenagers. This was the best decision we made. If you can afford it I highly recommend spending the extra money. The outside theatre was great. They provide blankets because it does get cold. The cleaning staff was awesome. We are messy people and they kept the room clean. The food was good. The desserts are usually bland but this time most had a flavor. They provided lots,of photo options which was great because I can never get the family to all smile...so I had lots,of options to choose from. I only have 2 complaints. I wish that the major show's times were earlier and the casino slots just sucked the money in. I know they would be tight but these were overly tight. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food I recommend the deli at the aft Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.
