My son and I had a great time on the Splendor. It was his first time on a cruise and now he doesn't want to vacation any other way. He was so impressed with MarQ that I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to be a cruise director when he gets older! The variety of food, drinks and fun are endless. Make sure you stop in at the EFFY store for the raffles. Ivory was tons of fun!

I purchased the Cheers package and it's definitely worth it. I also purchased Bottomless Bubbles for my son but that wasn't worth it at all. I wish the soda package included milkshakes, smoothies and coffee drinks. Our favorite meals were in the dining rooms. We had your time dining and never experienced much of a wait. We really enjoyed sitting with other people and chit chatting with new faces all the time. The wait staff was always friendly and the food came out quickly and hot.

The layout can get a little confusing because you can't get from one end of the ship to the other on some floors without going up and down and around. BTW, the BBQ restaurant is accessible via a staircase at the lido buffet. By the time you figure it out the cruise is over haha.

Ocean Suite

We got a last minute upgrade from a balcony to an ocean suite and boy was this great!! My favorites were the bigger balcony, double sink and whirlpool tub!!
