Fun Cruise by Aly G from Monterey CA
Sailing date: Jan 2013

Pros:
the food

Cons:
unheated pools, lack of clocks

The cruise was pretty fun. I went with my boyfriend and we had a blast. the rooms were bigger than expected and the food was great! The weather was cold and windy so we wished the pools were heated since the hot tubs were always full and we hoped for more activities on the last day at sea. but otherwise a great trip with the best staff! We will be going again in Sept with a big group of friends this time :)

Carnival Splendor Cruise by Donna N. from San Francisco, CA
Sailing date: Dec 2012

Pros:
The zip lining adventure in Cabo

Cons:
The horseback riding in Puerto Vallarta

Carnival Splendor provided an excellent vacation. It was incredibly clean and the staff was superb. They were above par on service and went beyond their service many times. I highly recommend this vacation

The buffets could have added a selection of pastas and there could be an additional restaurant, but overall if anyone did not have any food, it was their own fault. When you have to serve 4000 people at varying times, the service was quite excellent!

Technical Problems by Darrell O from Rio Vista, CA
Sailing date: Dec 2012

Pros:
Food & Service

Cons:
Schedule changes, missed excursions, minimal land time

Nice ship; but had propulsion problems which changed the entire schedule. The extra time at sea meant 2 of 3 excursions had to be canceled. We were kept in the dark about where & when until too late to make plans. Food was good & the crew was great. Less entertainment and dancing than on prior cruises.

Very relaxing and extremely enjoyable. by Lew P from Bay Area, CA
Sailing date: Sep 2012

Pros:
The crew was professional and attentive. Dining in the Black Pearl met our expectations. The server, Stan, was exceptional and offered menu suggestions at every meal.

Cons:
???

Ship's crew, service crew, and the meals were totally enjoyable and attentive. The entertainment was fun. The whole trip seemed like just a few days.

This ship is a Toilet ! by Never sail Splendor again... from Southern Ca
Sailing date: Sep 2012

Pros:
I enjoyed Disembarking from this Mis-Hap of the Sea

Cons:
Mostly Everthing, The decor, I thought it was from the 60's, Horrible Black and Pink

We are non smokers, The dinning rooms are located on deck 3 & 4 Which Carnival Closed access to, and they forced you to have to go up to Deck 5 Through the SMOKE Filled Casino. the get to elevators bringing you back down to 3 & 4 again, If you don't understand. You could not walk deck 3 or 4 to eat, you had to go up to 5 then down again, what a marketing Scam. Also the Dance Area the Red Room, SMOKE FILLED, RED Nightmare of a room

had a good time by A Traveler from california
Sailing date: Jul 2012

Pros:
friendliness of the staff

Cons:
that they even charge for soda

this was our first time on a cruise ship. We really enjoyed the cruise but ship seems old and the decor seems outdated.There were some part of the ship that smells like toilet overflow. It was suppose to be all inclusive but they charge for sodas.

Great Time by A Traveler from Southern California
Sailing date: Jul 2012

Pros:
Our cabin was very nice, clean and comfortable. The pool was terrific. Our dinner tablemates were such fun that we decided to not change table location. The latin band was fantastic. I'm still tired.

Cons:
The location of our dinner table was not good at all. It was right in traffic, employee access area. The area did not seem very clean. The food was ok. The flat iron steak was tough and overcooked both times I ordered it.

The ship was great. Very pretty. The venues were very nice. I especially liked the Splendor Lobby Bar.
