U.S. Cruise Reviews

I liked when I purchased ticket and they guaranteed the price with Carnival onboard discounts which they refused to honor on board. Spent the whole cruise trying to straighten out the issue only to meet rude, disrespectful customer service. Totally ruined my vacation and would never book thru or Carnival Cruise Line ever again. This is my fourth cruise and I have never encountered such disregard for the customer and hostile customer service. Thanks Carnival, thanks . NOT!!!!

We enjoyed the shows and the ship was very well kept and tidy.

Check-in was very quick and easy, no problems. Ship was very comfortable. Nice deck areas with sufficient deck chairs. Ship was kept clean with friendly personnel. Food was fine, but somewhat bland and repetitive. We took our own luggage off the ship rather than setting out the night before, which made disembarkation painless.

From the moment we started the embarkation to the last wave as we pulled out of the parking lot at the end of the trip the experience exceeded our expectations. The beautiful lines of the ship with its trademark "fin" to the well appointed balcony rooms on the spa level we were "wowed". We had spa rooms so we had unlimited use of the steam rooms and the thala therapy pool which we took full use of. The staff was professional and always available. The satisfied looks on the passengers' faces as they left their massages said it all. The dining room (Black Pearl) although oddly decorated with as one teen noted "fried eggs on the ceiling" didn't detract as much as facinate us. The roof over the pool was a huge bonus as our trip had been diverted to Canada (instead of Mexico). The cool weather was never a factor due to the roof (limited use of the slide though). My teens (age 13, 15 and 19) had a blast. They loved the teen clubs and activities. They stayed up late, slept in and I never heard any of them say "I'm bored". All of us are looking forward to our next trip.

This was a great cruise! I'd go again!

Carnival Splendor Cruise was awesome! Our family got the "Spa" rooms which was the biggest highlight of the cruise. With this room we were able to use the Spa facilities throughout the whole cruise without being charged extra. The Spa is amazing, beautiful, has many therapy rooms to enjoy, and was very very relaxing. We had our own elevator with special entrance to the Spa and could literally get into the spa in about 3 minutes from our room. They had soft robes, slippers, and towels for us to use.

The ship was beautiful, a wonderful experience. They treat you like royalty once on board. They only problem I had was with the other people on board. Some of them were rich snobs that thought they were so great. I was told cruises are for fun, people people, etc. Some of these people were just rude and anti-social. I was not expecting that, but what can you do? a lot of them did not want to dance, participate in activities, etc. They all just sat there, I wondered, what is wrong with them? Ow well, I had a lot of fun, danced, ate, swam, exercised, and ate some more. It was a wonderful experience.

Big, beautiful, bright and clean ship. Had a great cruise. Ports were wonderful, best choices of the past 7 cruises. Astoria and Victoria are must see ports.

This was my very first cruise. I was alittle nervous but as soon as my feet hit the ship I was off and running. The activities, Art Auction and different lounges were wonderful. I can't stop telling frined s and family what a great trip I had. I am planning to go again in August for my birthday.

Although the ship is older, the Ship was very well maintained. The room stewart kept our cabin looking clean and fresh.

Embarking and Debarking was very easy. The ship was wonderful. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly, the Captain and Cruise Director were the best we have ever had on a cruise. Food and presentation were very good. The theatre production was good, but the ice show was definately Las Vegas quality. Very Impressive. Didn't care much for either comedian. Juggler was good. Loved the nothern itinerary for a change.

We we're a family of 5 with balcony rooms next to eachother. We had a lovely time our youngest at 12 really enjoyed the kids club and had lots to do. Are two older might have been a bit more bored too old for club, and most passengers seemed to be our age 50ish. We're not partiers so the entertainment just isn't our thing. But loved the big screen tv above the pool, my husband got to watch the Lakers final there. The weather was great in Victoira and Vancouver. Could have done without the stop to Astoria Oregon. The food was good and plenty of it. The chocolate buffet just about put me over the edge.

When you see the size of this ship it will take your breath away! I have cruised eleven times and this ship is the largest ship I have been on. For the amount of people which was upwards of three thousand people I was amazed how well they serviced everyone. However, this ship lacks in a personal feeling that one gets with a smaller ship. I don't think I ever saw the same people twice. If that doesn't bother you, than this is a great ship for you. I think the design caters to a party crowd. The center promonade reminded me of main street at Disneyland. There was lots of things which would appeal to the younger set such as minature golf, ice skating, rock climbing, inline skating, and basketball to name a few. And these are all at no extra charge. Food was excellent in the dining room. Staff were always pleasant and helpful. The ship was very well maintained and clean at all times.

The ship was nice but very pink. The food was okay. Our waiter was fabulous. The cabin steward was not very good. The ports of call were wonderful.

Cruising on RCCL has really changed (for the worse) over the past few years. They now want to charge you for everything they can. If you want the better quality steak in the dinning room than it is an upcharge of $15. There use to be items such as midnight buffets that made cruises memorable and enjoyable - no more, no mint on your pillow at night - basically nickle and diming you, just like the airlines. This cruise experience was not like a 5 star resort but a Motel 6 stay. Sorry RCCL but it may be a long time before you see this family again.

On top of the unwanted detour, it smelled like mildew from the pool that fell in from the roof the week prior. although it is not in their control, the weather was horrible. everyone was wearing jeans and sweaters and the big robe they have available in the room as well as the towel being used as a blanket. I hate the morning that we have to leave because they want you up and out of there by 8:30 AM. They need to extend that to at least 10:00AM. The staff was nice and helpful. They need some upgrades on the carpet and maybe some updated interior decoration (its been like that forever). Oh, and there was fight and the girl kept swinging on people inlcuding the security guards. They never restrained her and so she kept attacking people. They need way better security procedures. At one point people were just yelling out "cuff her or pepperspray her." She was out of control and nobody knew how to handle it.

The ship itself was very nice. If you don't mind laundry piled in the cabin hallways, and dirty dishes left outsde the rooms for hours, then you'll be okay with this cruise. If loud, drunk, profane and oblivious youngsters that apparently just came of age to drink legally don't bother you, then you'll LOVE this cruise. You can expect that the young men will be quite aggressive toward women. Apparently, the guys think they're entitled to sex along with the free food. Be aware of your surrounds, and you'll be okay.

Teh ship was clean, staff were pleasant and would recommend others also will return to celebrate a family event.

it was a very nice cruise, room smelled a bit.

Overall we had a good time. The ship itself is pretty nice, the staff was friendly and the food was good. The entertainment was wonderfully cheesy. The highlights were the adult comedian shows and the adult hypnotist show.
