We had an awesome time on our cruise. We will probably only cruise from now on when we go on vacation. Everything seemed easy getting on the ship. I'd say we were on the ship by 11:30. The cabin wasn't ready, but we had a nice lunch on the Lido Deck. When we got to the cabin, it was compact (inside cabin), but I was surprised by the storage in the cabin. There were two closets, one with shelves and a few drawers at the vanity area. The bathroom was small but had all the necessities. I was worried about having an indoor cabin, but found I didn't mind not having a window. It was also nice and dark in the room when we wanted to sleep. We were given an upgrade from 4A to 4E which was great. We were on the 8th floor so we just had to run up one flight to get to the Lido Deck and down 3 to get to Promenade. It was really nice when the elevators were busy.

The staff was awesome on Splendor. Being employed in service industry, I was extremely impressed. Our cabin steward Raj, was always very friendly and addressed us by name. When we came back from port, he always asked us about our day. I have to give credit to the public area cleaners. They were always busy polishing or cleaning. It seemed they worked around the clock to keep the ship clean.

The Splendor was a huge ship and we had some challenges at first getting to know where everything was, but we were given a map of the ship decks before we boarded which was very helpful. Read more
