hummy0605 Posted September 30, 2012 #226 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi Louise, I'll start on the Compass for Day 2 of our cruise. If Royal had issued Compass for the Embarkation Day, I'm sorry that I didn't get one. I got one for day 1 so if anyone wants to see it let me know and I will scan it through :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitaArn Posted October 1, 2012 Author #227 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I got one for day 1 so if anyone wants to see it let me know and I will scan it through :) Thanks Christine :) I think Louise (louhun88) might also like a copy of Day 1. If you can, would you please scan it and post it either here or on your review. Hugs, and thanks in advance :) Edited October 1, 2012 by LitaArn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LitaArn Posted October 1, 2012 Author #233 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) AUG 31st Friday (Last Day of the Cruise) - DUBROVNIK As I’ve mentioned before, I had to do my reviews of Mykonos and Dubronik earlier. Here is the link to my review of our ship’s excursion “Highlights of Dubrovnik Riviera” which included the sights of the seaside resort of Cavtat, the famous Konavoski Dvori Restaurant, and the very lovely Old Town of Dubrovnik. The review starts from post # 163 to # 166 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1704530&page=9 Because our tour bus got caught up in a traffic jam at the Old Town of Dubrovnik, our group was late in coming back to the port. The Splendour was supposed to sail at 1pm and I think we got back 10 minutes before. The 3 of us were some of the first ones to get off the tour bus and went through security, but because they had to tag the Croatian wine we bought, we were the last ones to leave the area. We saw that as soon as security checked in the last member of our tour group, they immediately dismantled the security lines to get ready for the sailaway. That was a new experience for us. We’ve never been that close to checking in that late in any of our cruises.. We were in Dubrovnik from 7am to 1pm. It was a very short stop considering that there were so many amazing places to see there. Sorry, but I can't resist posting again a few photos of beautiful Dubrovnik: Edited October 1, 2012 by LitaArn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LitaArn Posted October 1, 2012 Author #235 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) LAST NIGHT OF THE CRUISE - Aug 31st It was time to say goodbye and show our appreciation, in terms of extra gratuities to our most wonderful staff (Christine and family did the same gesture as well to their staff). We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy a most fabulous cruise without their excellent help, and their ever smiling lovely faces :) Elvie from Philippines - Suite Attendant Roberta from Brazil - Concierge Bar Server Diego from Uruguay - Concierge Edited October 1, 2012 by LitaArn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitaArn Posted October 1, 2012 Author #236 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) We did My Time Dining and we had several waitstaffs during our 7 day cruise, all excellent! On our first night, we had Hugo from Cuba and assistant Ping from China. We also had Rannie from Philippines and assistant Susanah from ? I’m sorry to say that there was one night that I didn’t get the names of our Waiter and his assistant (we still gave them extra tips for their excellent service). Most of the nights though, we had Bernadeth from Philippines and assistant Elmar from ? All these lovely waitstaff contributed greatly to a most wonderful cruise. It was difficult saying goodbye to all of them, specially Bernadeth. She was superb in her job, giving us special treats all the time :D and so warm and caring! Our Waiter, Bernadeth - There were a couple of nights after dinner that she gave us several mind bender illustrated puzzles to solve, a couple of which we weren’t able to figure out :o She also was a whiz in building this “tower of toothpick and dining forks”.

LitaArn Posted October 1, 2012 Author #237 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Aside from Bernadeth and Elmar (partially hidden wearing a dinner napkin “headgear”), I also see Hugo and Ping on this photo The lovely Misses (including Elmar too :D Bernadeth is a Mrs) :) From left to right: Bernadeth, Susanah, Rannie, and Elmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your patience... :) Thanks for the compasses (there good quality and definately readable), i really appreciate you posting them. I like to be able to get and idea of whats going on and timings, there's certainly plenty of different entertainment! Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swcruise Posted October 6, 2012 #242 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just stopping by to say tks for your posting, I have been following along and have enjoyed your review and also that from the UK family you hooked up with on CC and now seem to be family friends foerever. It was interseting to follow both your reviews capturing each of your aspects on cruising. We have cruised the Splendour before the refurb, where is the Park cafe? that is new a new eatery onboard. BTW: Great job posting the Compass, so many folks ask for this on these boards and it is the 1st time I have seen it for a full itinerary...

kccrzr Posted October 6, 2012 #243 Share Posted October 6, 2012 What a fabulous review. Your great pictures allowed me to re-live some great memories in those places I've been and dream of going to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseball fan Posted October 7, 2012 #244 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Lita-I love the pictures of your cabin. Due to multiple price drops, we have a grand suite a few doors down from yours next month. I cannot wait. I've never had anything other than a standard balcony cabin. Now to figure out the perks.... Thanks, Dena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
