Just to know that we will have a great time on that cruise.

 

I've not been on her before, but there is a Roll Call group for that cruise and you can ask all your questions there.

Just off today. I read about people's comments about the pink. I'm not sure I would have even noticed if I hadn't read about it. I actually thought it was tame compared to some of the nudes, grapes and such on some of the others.

I sailed her 8/21 and had a great time. Everyone remarks about the pink but after a few hours it was a non issue. A great sail away. Make sure you get up early when you sails back in to NYC. A great sight. Enjoy!

We were on the Splendor in April.

 

I liked the pink decor. I know many do not, I enjoyed it.

 

If you can, I would suggest booking a spa room. We went to the thalassotherapy pool and steam rooms every morning and before we went to bed at night. They are the ultimate in relaxation. Really enjoyed it--worth every penny. It was never crowded either.

 

As others have mentioned, sail away is magnificent. Lady Liberty and Ellis Island on the left. Freedom Tower on the right. So much to see. Be on the upper deck so you won't miss anything. Travelling under the Verazano Bridge is a blast.

 

There are lots of dining options. It is fun trying all of them.

 

I would look on the website and familiarize myself with the deck plans.

 

ENjoy your cruise. Have a blast!
