Splendour of the Seas May 26th 2007 Travelled with 5 others - age 25 -32

Day 1 Flew to Venice and stayed overnight at Casa Sant'Andrea Hotel.Hotel was 5 mins walk from Piazzle D Roma where the airport Atvo bus stopped.Very basic hotel but its only for the night before the cruise.went around venice and took the gondola.Make sure to bargain as the standard price which is 80 euro.We supposed to get the free shuttle bus from Piazzle D Roma to the terminal the next day but decided to walk.Took us 20 mins walk as some of us has big luggages.The check in building is right at the back of the terminal.But somehow it went very smooth..We also did the prior checked in. Went straight to our rooms.We booked stateroom on the deck 8.First impression, it was a bit too small .The bed is so comfortable.Our attendant Rogie a Filipino guy is such a sweetheart.He helped us a lot.He even tried to get a phone charger for us.He cleaned our rooms twice daily.Had dinner at King and I .Our main waiter was a dissapointment.He doesn't say a word.May be it was his first time.Our second waiter was much better.Food is always great there.

Day 2 Our first port was Dubrovnik. We have to pay for the shuttle to city centre which a bit of let down as RC never mention all the hidden cost.Went around the city wall to see the whole city.Quite amazing spot,Went to the beach nearby ..There's a cool bar looking over the beach.Not to be missed.
