Review summary

To tell you the truth I would not recomend this cruise to any of my friends. the dinners were not great and the waiters are quick to forget any extras you orderd. The food was always someone elses and our seating was not good with the walls being where they were. However we did have a window seat. The windows in the Dining, Spa Area and our cabin window were always dirty. The entertainment we found to be somewhat good and the comedians were great, proabobly because i never saw that perticular act.The rest of the staff seemed busy checking on each other. Drink orders were quickly taken but very slowly delivered. I have sailed on Carnival before but this was the greatest by far let down I have experienced Would I sail with them again? I don,t know

The porter was doing his job very well and actually asked if there was more her could do to make us comfortable

Ship tip

Stay in the middle and on a lower deck than 9

We cruised on the Splendor this past Sept out of New York and it was a great cruise. No complaints.

No ship is probably perfect but what u detailed didn't sound like it should have messed up your whole cruise sounds like u could have been concentrating on the bad things and didn't focus on enjoying your cruise..hopefully your next is better.

Glad you have never had an issue. For me when the cruise has been good, it was great. When it wasnt, and I had to deal with their icare, they were terrible. I guess for me the confusion is why people get so defensive when a person does have an issue with carnival. It happens. It's not like someone is criticizing someone's mom. They just had a bad experience.

For those who want to complain I'm glad everything is perfect in your world and sorry that it wasn't perfect on your cruise now for me my life isn't perfect but when I am on vacation I want to be at peace so I don't let the little things bother me so yes Carnival is perfect to me I love CARNIVAL and always will next destination Alaska July 12th 2016 and yes on Carnival

People do complain, but Carnival is not always flawless.

SPLENDOR IS THE BEST SHIP!!!! Got married on it last year and going again at Christmas... People suck and complain about every little thing.. Probably because they are unhappy themselves.

@ Alicia1417, I agree with u. That's telling them. That staff works extremely hard and I'm sure those who work don't put that much effort to our jobs. Been on Splendor twice and going 5/15 & 11/5. If y have a problem, u let them know. "You have not because u ask not" they r not mind readers. I never go by other people opinions. I try first then make a decision.

Everyone has an "opinion" good or bad. No need for getting defensive because SOMEONE ELSE felt their cruise experience on this ship was not a good one. Even cruise liners have an off day...understandable, but don't bash someone's post....this is her opinion, her post. Let her rant on her own free will....smh, now even opinions are criticized. Sheesh!!!!

The waiters are trying their best! They work 7 days a week and only have one meal off!! If they forgot something you should have reminded them. One of our waiters forgot something one night and the next night she apologized. Also if you didn't like where you were sitting you should have asked to sit somewhere else. I went on Splendor about 2 months ago and it was because of people like you that made me think Splendor was a horrible ship and I would have a horrible time. People like you are dissapointing people and you are making them think the worst. I went on Splendor and I had a great time, no complaints at all!! Tbh: some people just like to complain. I'm sure the windows at your house are not always clean. You have probably forgot to bring something to the table at mealtime and have asked someone to go get it. All you have to do is ask! I give Splendor 5 starts and would sail on it again and again without a doubt!
