Review summary

just came off the Splendor. Overall, a good cruise. Very good food. Excellent food in the steakhouse. Not a great Thalossotherapy experience. Small pool. Small locker rooms. Better on other ships.   Accessible cabin was nice. A little on the small side, but the shower was a walk in, so we were happy.   

Itinerary to Saint John and Halifax for 5 days was great.  Been there before,mand we love those stops.  Ideal for a quick getaway. Embarkation and debarkation in NY were fast and flawless.

We cruised the Splendor  in 2015. Saw Journey when we were in St Thomas, (Carnival live). Liked the ship, it was a little different than Conquest and Triumph class. I heard it was originally to be a Costa ship. The pink décor was a bit much. That was actually our second time on her, both Eastern Caribbean cruises out of Miami.

Overall a good cruise. Very relaxing. A quick 5 day getaway. Great if you can drive to the pier.

We were on a 6 days last October and had a great time.
