Great Time by A Traveler from Southern California
Sailing date: Jul 2012

Pros:
Our cabin was very nice, clean and comfortable. The pool was terrific. Our dinner tablemates were such fun that we decided to not change table location. The latin band was fantastic. I'm still tired.

Cons:
The location of our dinner table was not good at all. It was right in traffic, employee access area. The area did not seem very clean. The food was ok. The flat iron steak was tough and overcooked both times I ordered it.

The ship was great. Very pretty. The venues were very nice. I especially liked the Splendor Lobby Bar.

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.

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

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.

It was pretty good by Nicholas M. from kelso wa
Sailing date: May 2012

Pros:
Food was pretty good, cleaning staff was really good, staff in gerneral was good.

Cons:
The Scheduling of events was very hard to follow, the basketball courts were in very bad repair. They also did not have espn in the rooms, some guys would love that over any other network.

The ship was clean and ran on time all the time, staff was great. Can't really say anything bad.

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.

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.

fun cruise by James W from San Ramon, CA
Sailing date: Mar 2012

Pros:
the staff

Cons:
the food

The ship seems out dated as far a decor, especially in the staterooms. The food left a lot to be desired. Other than those two items I thought the overall experience was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The entertainment was also very good.

Great time by sharon T. from Seattle
Sailing date: Feb 2012

Pros:
very organized, excellent shows

Cons:
food was good but more variety would have been nice, slots were tight

The ship is organized and very well organized. With over 3,000 guests, most events ran like clockwork. Food was generally well prepared and attractive. Entertainment was great. Dancers especially.
