Review summary

The "Splendor" is a FANTASTIC ship! The many levels and opportunities for activities are unimagineable!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

There was ALWAYS somewhere to eat !! No problems here !!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Could not hear the announcements from within the room. I had to open the door to be able to hear what the cruise director was saying.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

Activities were apppropriate, however, my three-year-old had a problem participating with structured activities. He preferred to play with the toys on his own, which disrupted the structured program I would rather staff allowed those kids who didn't want to participate to enjoy the toys/games on their own.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Extremely friendly !! Staff always went "overboard" with their quality of service!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Relatively easy to maneuver around the ship. It would be easier, however, to have more maps near the elevators to let you know where you are in relations to where you want to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Outstanding accomodations! We had a balcony overlooking the ocean. Great room!

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5

Clearly, everyone must visit the shops and travel away from the main marina area. We enjoyed Senor Frogs and other restaurants conducive to kids.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5

Did not like the roadways in Puerto Vallarta. The shops in town were adequate and the sand carvings on the beach were an attraction that everyone should see.

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: The sand carvings

Pros: The Food !!

Cons: Mazatlan was cancelled from our itinerary.
