Anyone sailed Splendour since drydock?

[redheadx3]

I'm wanting to hear what's new with the Splendour? How does it look after drydock? And how was the new bedding?

[dege]

We were on the first two sailings after drydock. The ship looks pretty good with the new and improved Windjammmer that has several food stations rather than one long line. The new bedding is wonderful, a great improvement over the old. They also have added a concierge lounge on deck 7 in the old card room. The staff onboard the ship was excellent and the food was also very good.

We are doing the Eastern Med on Splendour in October, glad to hear she is in good shape. Could you tell me what time you were able to disembark in Venice? We have a 12.10 flight and I'm worried we won't make it.

 

Thanks

Hello, I am booked 6/23/07 for the Splendor in Europe (E. Med). I am happy to hear it went in dry dock for upgrades. When was it and what all :p exactly did they upgrade?

Does anyone know if the mattress were changed out or if only the sheets and duvet were added? I'm hoping for new a mattress. Oh and how about the sofa sleeper? Wasn't it said they would be replacing them also.:confused:

Can anybody tell me about the steam rooms on Splendour? Not sailed on her for a few years and was wondering if they have updated them.

So, they did add a concierge lounge! I am so excited about this as I am thinking about next summer Med cruise and was a bit disappointed that I would not get one of my Diamond benefits! How was the cruise and ports? I have never sailed the Med and am a bit nervous about this! Thanks!

No photos yet? I would love to see them! Anyone else has any input on this ship or the ports? Thanks!

Does the Splendour have Wi- fi? I don't want to schlep my laptop if I can't use it?

We sailing on her again in January - at 9 cruise credits! No lounge for me. Will have to walk by and look longingly in the windows.

When I was on the ship in January they did have it, but you had to be in one of about 7 hot spots. So if you were planning to use it in your cabin, forget it, it will not work.

We arrived in Venice last Sunday, 11 June at 7:00 a.m....depending on the color of the luggage tags they gave you, disembarking was anywhere between about 8:00 and 11:00 (may have been later as we disbarked at 9:30), then they bus you to the terminal to pick up your luggage (which was there). You might be cutting it close if you can't get off the ship until 11 or so.

I was on in Jan. They did not have a concierge lounge then?? or new bedding..Glad to hear the changes, we are going on the Splendour again this Jan 07.

Parisgrandma-

Curious...we will only have our rolling carryon pilot bags with us. If we don't set our our bags the night before, will we be able to take them off ourselves and on the bus? I'm assuming here that all people leave through this terminal?

[Debbierpof]

I'd love to see any photos of the "new" Splendour! debbierpof@comcast.net

 

Thanks!

[Parisgrandma]

If you only have carry-ons and don't have to wait for any luggage, you shouldn't have any trouble just walking off whenever you want to...just take the bus to the terminal and look for the bus for the airport....
