Spent quite a bit of time last summer at the Sea Monkey- Troy's new venture on the South side. Not quite as good for people watching (particularly on Sundays) but they have a few tables in the sand which makes up for it!

I'll wave goodbye to you as you set sail from my condo!

I would like to know where they have the Chefs Table on the Splendor. Is it in the Galley or ??? How did you enjoy it? We have done several CT's including the 1st one on the Magic inaugural, which was amazing..

I would also like to know where this is. Is it similar to the STEAKHOUSE? Does one have dinner with the captain?

Would like to get one more in before the SPLENDOR leaves us for the east coast. Beautiful ship.

Same questions!! Booked my last Splendor cruise this week for New Years! Sooo Sad! Want to do the Chefs Table but would like the particulars on it. I have never done it..

We just booked the Splendor for this upcoming September. I'm kind of nervous about Hurricanes during this time...but I know Mexico doesn't experience that many hurricanes...so we took the chance and booked it b/c the price was low. Has anyone else sailed to Mexico in September and had any problems?

ccruisequeen · #**768** February 21st, 2012, 06:27 PM

We had to skip one of the ports on our August Splendor cruise due to a hurricane. We were given on board credit and a discount towards a future cruise. We already had a cruise booked so we applied it to that booking and paid almost nothing!

Hi friends, we're sailing on April 22nd to PV and Cabo and want to know about the dancing on board. We are hoping for a few dress up nights with ballroom and/or latin dancing like the tango, bachata, and cha cha etc.
Can someone tell us about the dancing?
Thanks!

realent · #**770** March 6th, 2012, 02:03 AM

There is dancing in the atrium area for sure. I have seen people dressed up and dancing every night. Carnival is pretty good about having live music in different venues. Bring your dancing shoes!

The show band plays in El Morocco on the first formal night and usually once or twice after that. You can also dance there during Superstar live if you can stomach some of the singers.

They used to have a latin band in the Robusto Cigar Lounge. That has been converted to Karaoke, but I think the Latin Band is now in the Cool Lounge next to El Morocco.

Sometimes the Calpyso band plays the promenade by the Casino.

My girlfriend and I are booked in May for the Splendor. We got one of the aft cat 9a cabins. Anybody know how good it is or stayed in one of the aft cabins? Hope everybody has a fabulous day

Guess that means no sleep as I am one deck below this. Maybe I should take that balcony upgrade.

As I recall the SPLENDOR DANCERS hold a big Hoe Down on the atrium floor just below the JUMBOTRON (MUTS screen) on one night of the cruise. Its a giggle.

Hello everyone!

We sail in 2 weeks (woohoo!) and I wonder if anyone has tips on embarking at Long Beach. What's the best time to get there...are there any tips on where to go, sit, bring, etc? We have a friend dropping us off so we won't need to worry about parking.

Also, I know you can bring a small cooler on board with drinks. We have 3 adults together, is it OK to bring all the drinks in the one cooler?

THanks!

Registration is in the Plaza outside of the dome (unless you are P;atinum, which is in a separate VIP lounge). You'll be given your S & S card & your Zone card. Just wait outside the dome until your zone is called. If you get there early (before 10am), you can get a good parking spot, come after noon, the zones will have been called & you should be allowed into the dome to sign in at the counters.

As for your drinkks, it shouldn't be a problrem. Just tell them you're all together & make sure you're not separated when you go through security.

There is excellent bench-style seating under large shade awnings just outside the large domed embarcation center. You can mosey over to the QUEEN MARY and look around there or take a tour if you come early enough. Pics of the grounds at the embarkation area in my WEBSHOTS below.

This embarkation is easily my favorite.

Is this the ship that's replacing the Miracle? If so, tell me please, is the entire aft section of Lido non-smoking as well as Serenity and when will the switch take place?

Are there any cabins that are sold as a certain category but are actually better than the category they are sold as? For example, Spirit class ships have cabin 5236, sold as an obstructed view (or used to be), but have a large balcony.

Thanks for any help.

glrounds · #**779** April 1st, 2012, 05:39 AM

Yesterday, I booked the SPLENDOR again for the 3rd time on the April 29th voyage. Can't let her get away without enjoying her one more time.

Usually book 3-5 days before the cruise, so this 4 week wait is going to be a killer for me.

imnance · #**780** April 1st, 2012, 08:42 AM

Enjoy your cruise!
