We chose the Splendor as a change from Florida cruising, being from GA we have always done Caribbean and Bahamas. The embarkation process we fast and efficient, no complaints. As a bit of advice, print your luggage tags at home if at all possible. We saw many people waiting in line for luggage tags when we just dropped ours off with the porter and headed towards security screening.

We arrived at the port around 1 and was on the Lido deck around 1:40 getting lunch.

We upgraded to an inside spa cabin about a week before cruising, so we weren't on the "list" with the spa yet so we had to wait to use the members only area. The cabin decor was nicer I think and the extra toiletry items were nice, but overall probably wouldn't book the spa again, especially without past guest discounts. Deck 10 was higher than we usually stay and we felt the movement more, also getting an elevator was tough at times because most of the action was on Decks 5 & 9. Our cabin steward was fantastic and took great care of us. Read more
