Seven Seas Splendor, Caribbean
5
After waiting nearly 2 years because our cruise was delayed owing to Covid, we couldn’t wait to get on board. We weren’t disappointed. Everything looked brand new and sparkled. Although Splendor was, strictly speaking, no longer brand new, you couldn’t tell.
It was my wife’s birthday on the day we boarded, which was part of the reason we chose to cruise at that time.
On opening the stateroom door for that first time, not only were we blown away by the sheer excellence of our accommodation - but the thoughtfulness in its presentation. There were many balloons and a banner wishing her a Happy Birthday; better still - a bottle of chilled champagne. Could it get any better?
Yes, of course it did. Everything, but everything, was excellent. From the wonderful food, the wines and, probably best of all, the sheer quality of the service. It was very, very difficult to disembark from that memorable cruise.
