Review summary

This was our first cruise and By FAR the best vacation we have been on!! We loved the boat and the staff.  

Before we went we read negative reviews complaining about the boat.  The decore was a little 80's but that was the least of our concerns.  They had awesome shows, good food, amazing drinks and the staff made you feel like royalty all the time.

one of our favorite staff members was PuTu.  Every time we left our room in the morning he greeted us with a smile and even hours later coming back and forth from the rooms he had been working all day he never missed giving us a smile and kind words!! As far as I'm concerned any negative comments come from snobby people that can't be made happy.  I have nothing but good things to say about this cruise!  We will definitely become regular cruisers

Yay I'm glad you wrote this! My boyfriend and I will be on the splendor at the end of the month, and all the negative comments I have also read were making me question whether or not I would have a good time. I agree there's just no pleasing some people! Glad you enjoyed your trip 😀
