Royal Caribbean Splendour of the Seas

Pros: Beautiful ship with a good crew. A great value in cruising.
Cons: Can be crowded, lots of unsupervised kids. Subpar entertainment.

My family took a five day cruise on the Splendour back in March. This cruise departed from Galveston and visited the ports of Cozumel and Costa Maya Mexico. Currently the Splendour is in Europe doing Mediterranean cruises, but it is scheduled to come ...

Pros: Excellent Gourmet Food, Lots of Activates for any age group

Pros: Everything you could ever wish for
Cons: Not enough time, let's go again!

We have just returned from an amazing 10 night Western Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's "Splendour of the Seas".

This was my second time cruising, and I was expecting a little more after cruising with Carnival on the Destiny a few years...

Pros: Great food, great views, decent stateroom.
Cons: Ports of call were limited, lots of people, stateroom needs updating.

I never thought of myself as a cruise person. To me, there's little if any adventure in it. But my wife and I have completely different ideas about what a vacation is supposed to be. She's happy with laying on a beach and room service, and I like to see ...

Pros: Everything about the ship was fantastic, except for the one con listed below
Cons: Lack of deck chairs in prime sunbathing spots on days at sea

Last December, I embarked Royal Caribbean's Spendour of the Seas and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the ship. It has a large atrium lobby which is incredible. Being that it was the week that most schools were off for December vacation, there was a...

Pros: Excellent food and service, fun itinerary, decent shows, lots of warm sunshine
Cons: Scant culture/history on the islands, A.C.blasting, you must get off when the trip is over :^)

We went on an 11-night Caribbean Cruise in January, 2000 (the best time of year to leave Minnesota) and were very pleased with the experience on-board. This was our second cruise with Royal Caribbean the first trip being the Scandinavia/Russia...

Pros: Lot's of food, very few kids, great ports of call
Cons: Too easy to get used to the lifestyle

Last spring (March 10-21), my wife and I took a cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Splendour of the Seas with my wife's sister and her husband. It was our second cruise with Royal Caribbean, our first being a honeymoon cruise aboard the Monarch of the...

Pros: Great entertainment, food, very relaxing
Cons: Cons???

I recently went on a Caribbean cruise aboard the Splendour of the Seas and was completely satisfied in every aspect of the cruise. The ship is one of the nicest I've travelled on and the crew is undoubtedly the most hospitable and friendly I've met. The...

Pros: Friendly Service, Itinerary
Cons: Pricey extras

Itinerary: West Mediterranean, October '02

We were planning a vacation and it came down to Europe or a Cruise. When we found the Royal C's cruise to Europe we thought we could kill 2 Goliaths with 1 slingshot. We've never done a cruise so did...

Pros: Very Clean,good condition considering fast turn arounds.
Cons: RCCL losing some of the quality I have come to know.

I had a group of 111 passengers on board the Splendour Dec.05. 5 day Galveston/Cozumel/Costa Maya.Many were first time cruisers and really had a blast and others were not impressed. Being in the travel industry, I did notice some cost cutting going on. ...

Pros: Nice way to visit several cities as a family.
Cons: Annoying hard sells; too many extra costs; old, tired ship.

This was our first cruise, and we hoped for a lovely fall adventure. Instead, we faced a mixed bag of hard-selling cruise personnel juxtaposed with enjoyable passengers and a nice program for children.The highlights were the ports of call, ...

Pros: Wonderful dining experience. Pool open 24 hours a day. Many activities, clean ship.
Cons: Mediocre nightly entertainment. Indoor pool restricted to over 16. Older guests inconsiderate of young kids.

12 nights aboard this ship was awesome!! Our family of 11 departed from Galveston Texas on Jan 3, 2004 and overall had a wonderful time. There were 2 middle-age grandparents, 6 young people in late 20's and early 30's, and 3 children, including 1 teen, ...

Pros: Awesome staff, great food/service, nice variety of things to do on ship/at port.
Cons: Tendering, paying for drinks, no late shows, no late-night fun for younger crowd.

This was my first cruise and I had no idea what to expect but I just loved it! I thought the variety of ports/excursions, things to do on board, FOOD and level of service was much better compared to staying at an all inclusive resort. Nice variety ...

Pros: I don't know and may never find out with the way they treated us.
Cons: Turning your back on your regular paying customers to choose larger private corporations.

In August of 2005, my fiance' and myself booked our wedding and cruise to sail on Royal Caribbean's Splendour of the Seas on March 23, 2006, for 4 nights. We had cruised with Carnival before but heard that Royal Caribbean was one of the top of the line. ...
