Glory/Conquest/Splendor

[purplemusik]

I found viturally the same cruise for my family and I'm off to read every review I can from each one, but thought I'd ask my friends to give me direct opinions on each!

 

Which would you pick?

I'm picking the slendor because of the mingolian station

Been on the Glory and LOVED it!!

Been on the Conquest and LOVED it!!

 

I would pick the Splendor myself because I have never been on that ship - however I have booked a future cruise on the Splendor and can't wait ;)

Can't speak for the Glory or the Conquest, but I LOVED the Splendor. Check out my review in the sig - lots of photos

I've been on Liberty & Freedom - sister ships to Conquest & Glory. We're going on Conquest next January. I'm unhappy that there is no Serenity Deck on Conquest. We were booked on Freedom, but they're moving it to Galveston the end of January and our booking was moved to Conquest. Oh, well!

 

I just checked the deck plans for Splendor and there is no Guy's Burgers on it. That would now be a deal breaker for us. So I'd choose Glory or Conquest for that reason.

Conquest doesn't have serenity deck if that's important to you.

I have been on Splendor and Glory - would choose Splendor hands down!

 

It has a spa, tandoor and the covered lido if need be.

Just off the Glory a week ago (mega post vacation depression setting in) and had a BLAST! The ship layout was nice and had mostly great staff. It is one of the ships with the American Table/Feast. It is what it is. Having not been on the Conquest or Splendor I can't speak to those, but we loved the Glory.

Been on the Splendor twice when she was sailing out of California and the Conquest twice on a B2B last November. I'd choose the Splendor for the Tandoor alone. Haven't sailed on the Glory.

 

Splendor is a wider ship. She has more tables in the buffet (so it's less crowded). Her lido pool area has an upper deck (with even more tables) and several covered hot tubs. Her rotissierie is upstairs from the buffet. Do not know if she got any of the new food areas - Guys, Blue Iguana, etc. Did I say she has the Tandoor?:D The pineapple chutney is great on the soft-serve.

 

Conquest has a step-up lido deck and exposed to the elements hot tubs. She has a fish and chips station, Guys and the Blue Iguana.

 

Both ships have the same deck plan. So much so that DH, when embarking the first Conquest cruise, asked if we had sailed on this ship before!

 

Both the Conquest and Splendor have the old menus. The Glory is testing the 7 day new menu. We've liked the new menus on the short cruises out of LA.

I checked the deck plans and Splendor does not have Guys or the other new restaurants.

I have only been on the Glory and I loved it. I have a review in my signature but it is before the new American Table Menu was implemented on the Glory.
