Sail Date: Apr 2016

I traveled with my mom and she has been on many cruises. She thought this would be a nice ship to go on for my first cruise and she chose to sail to the Western Caribbean. I really enjoyed the ship. I read negative reviews prior about the ship in regards to the decor, food and service. Wasn't sure what to expect after reading many mixed reviews. We didn't experience anything negative. I really enjoyed the Splendor it was great.

Staff were friendly, food was decent, plenty of choices to choose from, I really liked the Tandoori and Burrito Bar. We choose anytime dining which was available in the Black Pearl Dining room. It was really nice and we shared a table a few times with other people and it was pleasant. Always nice to meet people. Ship was very clean and I liked the decor of the ship. We had a balcony room 7419,. room was very clean, it was a good size and I enjoyed relaxing on the balcony. We had close access to the adult pool at the back of the ship Lido deck 9 which we really liked. We enjoyed the entertainment and shows. I enjoyed the different ports we went to, loved the beaches and plenty of shops to visit.

We did experience a small flood from the bathroom sink backing up and the stopper had broken but they fixed it promptly and we had no other problems.

Went to Mr Sancho's beach, it was really nice Fish tacos were really good.
