Review summary

Because I've been on the bigger ships I couldn't give it 5 stars but the Splendor, it's crew, the excursions were well worth the money I paid. My cabin was clean (I was even asked if I wanted it cleaned twice a day), food was good (Lido deck, main room, or Steakhouse), and excursions were lots of fun (especially the ruins of Belize). Not too many people and weather cooperated.

The Steakhouse is extra but worth every penny for food and ambiance. Loved it

Movies at night were a good way to end an exciting day. That and a drink.

Thank you Simon, you did a great job with our room. Still don't know how you found us at disembarkation with pictures we forgot.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Old ship was well kept, crew did their best. No issues at all.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved the view from my balcony. Try to get higher levels, heard it was a little stuffy down at level 2

Ship tip

If you love coffee like I do, check out the Coffee Shop. Great lattes and shakes. Also eat at the Steakhouse at least once, you won't regret it.

If going to Lamani ruins try to get Elvis as your guide. He managed to make a bad trip (bus and boat had an issue) so much fun. Lots of Mayan knowledge
