Second time cruising on Splendor. First time was when the Splendor was stuck on ocean last November so that did not count. Second time was just completed this week and somewhat uneventful. I do have some good insight that I hope travelers will find useful

EMBARCATION:

This is a no brainer guys. I have read far too many reviews that knock this area. I have been on 12 cruises and have always had issues when boarding. NOT WTHIS TIME. We arrived at 2pm on purpose and were on the ship in 15 minutes from the time we parked the car (yes the ship was full). Getting there late makes a huge difference. Get to the port early and hang out in Long Beach for a few hours. We did not wait in any line sat all. Take my advice. I am always very cautious about traveling and get to the airport or port extra early but this time we decided to hang out in Long Beach and have fun in the Marina, which has a lot to do and a ton of restaurants. Bottom line, walked right on the ship.
