Review summary

The Carnival Splendor  holds over 4000 passengers and crew

Need I Say More !!!!

Expect:  - Long line ups for everything / No room in the pools as they are extremely small pools for the amount of people on board / The  ship consistently tries to up sell you on everything (drinks/pics/games/ect) / The food is sub par  compared to other cruise lines (More of a cafeteria style) / Watch your Luggage as a number of guests had their luggage missing for most of our voyage / Rooms are OK but dated (Stains on sheets/old pillows/ect) / The only decent point of call is GRAND TURKS (nice and friendly easy access beach)  / Porto Rico is OK (Short stay 5 hrs)/ St. Thomas is very unsafe (the beaches are controlled by the locals and will charge you for everything you do on their section of the beach, ie: bathroom/chair/towel/ect.) prepare to PAY!!!.

The only nice thing I can say about the cruise was sailing out of NEW YORK harbor on the Hudson river at @ 4:00pm on a beautiful day was spectacular!

Overall for the cost of the cruise I would say it was NOT a great value. I would not recommend this CRUISE to anyone.

well I found it just the opposite of everything that you say, yes the pools are small but use them on port days when everybody's on shore. the food in the dining room was actually very good not at all subpar or cafeteria style. chances are if you had luggage missing for part of the cruise it was being held in security for one reason or another all you had to do was check with your room steward and they could have told you that. and many many cruise ships have more than 4,000 passengers and crew
