Review summary

Our favorite part of this cruise was the band in the atrium. They are the Run for Cover band. They played the best of everything for everyone. The members of the band: Ronin, Vladamir, Paolo, Joshua, Brandon and Elizabeth were awesome, friendly and so in tune with each other. We were there each night they played.

Our room steward, Jonathan took good care of us and our spa balcony room.

It was our anniversary and he surprised us with a card that included a gift card for wine and a gift card for the spa. This was above what we expected from our room steward.

We visited the ports of Grand Turk, La Romana, Aruba and Curaçao.

This was our 5th cruise on the Splendor and enjoyed it as we always have before.

We always book a balcony spa cabin to enjoy the spa perks included with this cabin. Robes, slippers, spa bathroom amenities and the spa therapeutic pool and saunas.

Montanaman thanks!! I've been on one and understand that the food lines might be a little long or checking in or out but they have a ton of people. I had great time and plan to again on the Splendor

Pegr007, in my opinion a cruise is what you make it. It's all about attitude, if you are looking for things to complain about you can find them. On the other hand if you are focused on what you enjoy about cruising you'll have a wonderful time.

Another great review. I'm trying to not pay attention to the bad ones. Just having a hard time understanding how their comments make it sound like so many things were terrible..

Was on a cruise with the Run for Cover Band. They are good. We made a point of listening to them most nights.
