We did the Sea day brunch on the Splendor last month and it was delicious. The service was painfully slow, but worth the wait. 12 hour French toast was amazing. My son loves French toast and he said it is even better than mine. I had it twice on the cruise, and he is right! The lobster Benedict was well worth the extra charge! It was so delicious. Is it me, or does the OJ on the ship taste like Tampico? I was craving real OJ. 

Does anyone know what kind of coffee they brew on the ship. Next time, I’m bringing my Kcups and my manual Kcup brewer that we use for camping, for morning coffee. I’ll just ask room service for hot water and half and half. The cold brew at the coffee shop was ok, but the regular coffee was not very good.

We are booked on the Splendor 7 night Mexican Riviera leaving August 9 and I'm wondering which nights are the formal nights? I would like to book a steak house reservation, but want to make sure I don't book that on a formal night.

Thanks in advance!

We just did the June 15 sailing, and elegant dress nights were on Mon and Thurs, IIRC. Both sea days. My mom is a stressed, and traffic is usually a nightmare, so we booked a stay and cruise package at the Holiday Inn Long Beach Airport, and they shuttled us back and forth, which was stress free for her. For about $100 more than the parking alone, we found this to be a great option. The front desk makes an appointment time for your departure to the port, which was nice.

We had a wonderful time, and this was my first time booking a balcony room, and sitting on the balcony was my favorite thing to do on the cruise. Except when our neighbor decided that he had to play his guitar on his balcony. Our extended family has started annual cruises together, which is the perfect way to reconnect and strengthen connections. 

I was so pleased with the entertainment staff. We were thrilled that Connor was on our cruise. We last saw him on Inspiration last year. Our dependent adult daughter loves karaoke and bingo, and has an absolute blast on the ships. The staff were all so nice to her, and a group of special needs travelers that we met on the ship. I’m going to surprise her on 4th of July, I found the recipe for chocolate melting cake, so I’m going to make it for her. It won’t be the same, eating it ashore, but it’ll do until we sail again.
