Splendour Of The Seas in Corfu, Greece on May 28, 2012, a photo by Dex Sularte on Flickr.

Splendour of the Seas, sister ship of Legend of the Seas, has a contemporary profile that looks somewhat unbalanced (although it grows on you), and does have a nicely tiered stern. The pool deck amidships overhangs the hull to provide an extremely wide deck, while still allowing the ship to navigate in the Panama anal. With engines placed amidships, there is little noise and noticeable vibration. The ship has an operating speed of 24 knots.
The interior decor is very colorful, but perhaps a little too glitzy for European tastes.
