Picked this cruise mainly for the itinerary going down the Mexican coast but unfortunately didn’t do the research I should have done on the splendor which was a big mistake.We are British and like Americans and get on with them really well but expected better standards concerning food and entertainment,the entertainment was pretty bad ,amateurish and cheap ,no proper star or professional entertainment,unless you like gambling and drinking theirs not a lot to do party games and quizzes wear thin after a while.As for food it was good to very good in the black and gold pearl ,buffets were of a low standard,Mongolian wok we saw cooked chicken on the same tray as raw chicken when I pointed this out to the chef that you could get severe food poisoning doing this he just waved his arms and made out he didn’t understand me,I passed on the Mongolian wok.We found we were in long lines to go into restaurants,guest services embarking and disembarking the ship,took form 10 am to 12,30 to get off by tenders and we were to sail again at 4,30 so only had a few hours so what was the point !!! Someone else has said in their review that the Crew weren’t very happy we found this and at the captains party no drinks were given out and the officers all stuck together in groups and didn’t bother to mingle and talk to the passengers maybe they were afraid of what we might tell them.I could say more but a warning to British people you won’t like it.!!!!

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8C

Cabin could do with a refurb windows dirty,no tea or coffee making facilities,water from taps had horrible taste had to buy bottled water at $3.75 a bottle,Balcony floor chairs and table splattered in white paint from the last time it was painted couldn’t be bothered to cover everything before they got it everywhere and left brown rust spots unpainted.not very well maintained or supervised ship as if everybody on board has given up.steward did his best but didn’t seem happy.
