It's how we make your cruise adventure even more memorable. One thing that keeps our guests coming back again and again is our friendly and personal service. Maybe it's a server who remembers the name of your daughter's teddy bear. Or the bartender who remembers the extra olive. Or perhaps the housekeeper who reminds you of your dinner reservation time. Our unique style of service will enhance every aspect of your cruise. No matter where you are - the pool, the dining room, the spa or your room - get ready to be wowed! And we deliver it 24 hours a day. This is way beyond normal service. This is Gold Anchor Service.

ms Splendour of the Seas
Vision Class

Thousands of windows showcase the world's most memorable coastlines and ports. Whether you're cruising the Inside Passage or docked in Cozumel, you'll never lose sight of the reason you came aboard. This magnificent cruise ship has a seven-story lobby, an 18-hole miniature golf course and a stunning indoor/outdoor pool in a unique Solarium.

Splendour of the Seas was built in France for Royal Caribbean in 1996, the second or 6 "Vision" Class ships. These ships, although similar in design, differ in that they were designed to fulfill different purposes, and came out of two different shipyards, each with its own proprietary method of ship building. Thus, while the six are similar in design, they are not true sisters.

Splendour, like her twin, Legend of the Seas, was built for world wide cruising. Cabins were enlarged from previous Royal Caribbean vessels to provide passengers the additional space necessary for longer cruises. For the first time on a Royal Caribbean ship, speed was important, so the engines were located amidships, to obtain a better balance leading to increased speed. The ship is capable of doing 25 knots, although not without some vibration throughout. Normal cruising speeds of 22 knots provide a comfortable, vibration, free ride. The excess speed comes in handy for outrunning storms, a plus when cruising outside of the sheltered waters of the Caribbean.

Schooner Bar
There's nothing quite like relaxing in a nautical-themed bar when you're at sea, especially if you're in the Schooner Bar, a Royal Caribbean signature bar and guest favorite. Pull up a seat at the bar or relax in one of the comfy leather chairs. The decor and teakwood accents create such a warm and inviting atmosphere that you may be content just to stay there all night.
Viking Crown Lounge
No Royal Caribbean cruise is complete without a stop in our signature lounge. Perched high above the sea, this glass-enclosed lounge is quite possibly the best place onboard to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun set.
Nightclubs
The nightclub may get started late, but once it gets going, guests are kicking up their heels until the early morning. It's a great place to make new friends, enjoy a cocktail or just listen to the latest hits played by our resident DJ. And we didn't forget about the kids - many of our ships have a teen disco too.
Theatre
With the glitz, glamour and special effects, you'll think the ship has docked on Broadway. Performed in our magnificent theatre, our live productions feature the outstanding talent of The Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers, along with well-known performers and headline acts.
Sports Deck
As if the adventure of cruising weren't enough, we pack even more adventure into our sports decks. We offer exciting, cutting-edge activities that put you right in the action.
Rock-Climbing Wall
Our signature rock climbing walls are our most popular feature and are available on all Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Whether it's your first time on a rock wall or you're a seasoned climber, there are challenges for all levels of experience. We'll provide all of the equipment, including shoes, helmets and harnesses. All you need to do is bring a pair of socks and, of course, your sense of adventure.
Ship Shape Day Spa and Fitness Center

Plus a sweeping ocean view that extends for miles. We also offer all the latest classes, from pilates to spinning to kickboxing for all levels.

Kids
Kids ages 3-11 will especially love our complimentary Adventure Ocean Youth Program, specially designed to blend educational activities with just plain fun. Every member of our staff holds a college degree in education or other related field, or has qualified experience in working with children, so you can feel confident that your kids will have the time of their lives while learning a little in the process.
Teens
Our Teen program isn't some structured set of classes or rules. We know you're almost an adult, and it's your vacation, too. So we give you the freedom you deserve. You can join events all day, or come and go as you want. We've got great laid-back hangouts where you can just chill with your new friends. Some of our ships also have teen-only clubs where you can dance, listen to music or just hang out.
