I am not much of a writer but have enjoyed so much the various reviews of the Splendor prior to our sailing that I wanted to reciprocate. My wife and I sailed on the Splendor August 8th to celebrate our wedding and enjoy a romantic honeymoon down the Mexican Riviera. We communicated via our CC roll call with many and even met up with a few of our fellow cruisers in Vegas prior to the trip. Three dear's from Australia Maureen the ring leader, Jen the faithful assistant, and Mary the rebel ....what great ladies!!

We got to the dock at around 11am on the Sunday of our Sailing, and walked right into the pre-registration line, showed our ID, got our sign and sail cards and were assigned to boarding group #3. They did not start boarding till around 1pm but I was very thankful we had got there early as the line for preregistration got really long. We were eating on the Lido by 1:30, boarding was a snap and our bags were at our room and the room ready by 3:00 when we finally wandered down to check on whether the room was ready for us.

Very early in the trip we met two couples from the Detroit area who were so much fun and really added to our trip. King James and Country Jim and their wives Kim and Marge, really I can't tell you how much hanging out and playing with these extremely fun people added to our trip. The King is no little man, and his belly flops and cannon balls were legendary on our end of the boat. We haunted the adult pool area much of the first two days as cold beverages, food, sun, & quality people watching were abundant. Read more
