Review summary
I began my long awaited vacation with a room in the middle of the ship when I upgraded to a window. Guest services management told me, "Oh this happens all of the time and we are always booked full so we can't move you to a room with a window." Never apologized or cared. To make my first hour on the ship even worse, I noticed chest and long head hair on the pillow and sheets on the made bed, the pool towels were folded neatly but damp and there was dried food on the dresser and loose diapers in the drawers! When I contacted guest services AGAIN was told, "We will get to it when we can so leave your room until housekeeping can clean it." Again, not even an apology! I was not able to return to the room until 7:15 that evening causing me to miss the first dinner. When I called and told Guest Svcs what time I was finally able to come to my room and missed my first dinner, the manager told me, "Well you can order room service." WOW! Spend your hard earned vacation money on another cruise line, if you have a bad experience such as mine- they do not care or attempt to resolve!!Ship experiences

Pros: The entire staff, including management, were rude, and extremely unprofessional.
Cons: The longest 7 days of horrible buffet food, expensive drinks including $5 bottled water and entertainment that had to be purchased on the ship!
Recommends Carnival Splendor? No.
