Royal Caribbean - Splendour of the Seas Review

My husband and I sailed on The Splendour of the Seas in August 2007 for our honeymoon. We wanted a European cruise and RCCL was recommended to us by our travel agent.

 We started out in Venice, staying for 2 night with accommodations through RCCL. The hotel was just ok, but we were in Venice so we didn't spend too much time in the hotel. We booked all of our transfers through RC and they were seamless. We never had an issue getting to the hotel, boat, or airport.

The boat is older and is on the smaller side but since this was my first cruise, I was fascinated by all of it. We were seated at dinner with 4 other young couples on honeymoons. The food was pretty good and they paid a lot of attention to my food allergies. The service was outstanding- from the waitress to the guy who makes your beds to all the bartenders- everyone was 100% accommodating.

Our ship went from Venice to Dubrovnik, Croatia, to Kusadasi, Turkey, to Santorini, Greece to Corfu Greece. The excursions we booked were all great, very fun and even educational. I don't think I'd recommend Europe in August unless you like touring in 104 degree heat, but we had fun anyway.

My husband and I also both had spa treatments. I had a facial and massage which were both great. My only complaint is that my treatment room must have been underneath the track because I could hear people running over my head, kind of distracting.

Overall, I gave this boat and the trip 5 stars because it met and exceeded all of my expectations. The price was right and we had a phenomenal honeymoon!
