Review summary

Splendor of the Seas offered us a luxurious vacation on a beautiful ship with superb service! The lounge chair issue needs to be addressed since the rules state no lounge saving and this is never enforced. I got up one morning at 6:15 am to see if I could finally get a lounge partially undercover and by that time all of the lounges had been saved with books, beach bags, etc. That was ridiculous! Unlimited laundry service was such a wonderful perk!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Waited quite awhile but it was well organized once the embarkation began.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food in main dining room was presented nicely but the side dishes were barely warm. Food in specialty restaurants, especially Pacific Rim was hot and well presented. Food at buffet which should have been hot, like oatmeal, was luke warm. I believe the quality of the steaks were not prime but choice meat. The best desserts were the ones at Tea Time ie cherries jubilee, strudel, brownies etc. The restaurants should offer some basic desserts.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Activities on ship were well organized and enjoyable ie putting contests, dice rolls etc.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Stage shows, especially those with staff where excellent. Very talented and great to listen to. The music was great and Gino's piano playing and name that tune were lots of fun!

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
Bonaire highlights guide was very knowledgeable!

St. George's, Grenada

4 out of 5
Loved the Spice of Our lives garden visit. The last stop was a typical tourist trip with very little to offer and a waste of everyone's time.

Roseau, Dominica

4 out of 5
Whale and dolphin safari was fun even though we never saw a whale or dolphin. Boat staff was excellent.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
The ATV experience was not at all as described and spending almost 2 hours driving through city streets with traffic was not what we had expected.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Although it was delayed for an hour, it was well orchestrated once the disembarkation began
