Splendour of the Seas

Review summary

Very dated look to ship, parts were dirty and deck 2 near our room had moldy smell in hallway. Solarium did not adhere to the ship's rule of 16 yrs and older only. Nothing but screaming children in area. No seating around pool area available. At breakfast time in the Windjammer cafe, seating was very inadequate. Food was average not what we have experienced on other cruise lines. Port stop in Athens was way too short. Outrageous price of $10 each for bus to Mykonos for such a short ride.
