	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Inside Ehhh...was ok by A Traveler from Connecticut Sailing date: May 2013 Pros: Steakhouse Cons: The general food at buffet and regular dining room Dining room and buffet food was terrible.. Steakhouse excellent, extra fee but well worth it to get some good food. Stage show dancers and singers probably couldn't get a job anywhere else. Worse than a high school musical. Comics were very good and the most popular show. Decor is out dated, ship looks old. My cabin was very small. The activities were boring, and would have liked to see more music and fun by the pools..couldn't wait to go home after the first 4 days.. Would not go for 8 nights again. To much boring ship time and not enough destination time. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Steakhouse was the only good food. Stateroom Quality Small don't get inside cabin Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Comics were good but singers and dancers were just bad! Could not watch more than 10 minutes of show 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside 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 :) Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Suite 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 Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food 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! Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside 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.

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 Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.
