Review -- Splendour of the Seas

Deck 8:
Crown & Anchor Society an area for those, who want to inform themselves about future RCCL cruises and to make a reservation.
There was also the popular Internet-Cafe : equipped with 16 IBM-Computers, loudspeakers, a seperate Laserprinter, but no webcams. cost: per minute 50 cent or package for 25 $ - 59 minutes, 35 $ - 89 minutes, 50 $ - 151 minutes.
Deck 9:
Pooldeck we found the pool, heated to 22 - 24 °, with two different depth levels. There were two roofed jacuzzis as well. Adequate number of deckchairs with plastic strings, which I found very comfortable. Some were close to the pool in the sun, some were under a roofed area at both sides of the deck. Several tables with 4 chairs on the side and in front of the Windjammer Cafe. Smoking section on one side of the ship. The sliding- windows could be opened towards the sea. There was blue astroturf cover (which was in strong need of a renovation) and partly timber floor. A small stage for small bands was found here, but they did not play all the time. An area for activities, like some poolgames or dancing was in front of the pool.
Solarium a roofed area towards the stern on the same deck, with several deckchairs and tables, 4 chairs each, pool heated to 32 °, 2 jacuzzis, a Bar serving Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, French Fries and vegetarian Pizzas (very good) on different hours until 1.30 late at night.
Hallway to the stern where we found Spa and Gym with several equipment, like treadmills, crosstrainer, dumb- bells and more. Some of the equipment were out of order. Behind the Spa and Gym was a wonderful sunterrace for about 40 people, partly roofed and really quiet.
