Review summary

The ship Splendour of the Seas is an older and smaller ship than the new super ships. I like the intimacy of the small ships, but felt this particular ship definitely needs an update. The food selection was eclectic as the head chef was from India and each dinner had a dish from India. Since half of the cruise guests were Italian there was also a daily pasta dish. The food was good, but not the best I've had on other Royal Carribean ships. This was my fourth cruise with Royal Carribean and I was not disappointed. The staff on the ship is awesome.

Our stateroom was warm, but maintenance came immediately and adjusted our air conditioning inside the ceiling vent to the coolest setting possible. The bathroom was outdated with pink sink.
