Review summary
We really relaxed and enjoyed the cruise...(aside from the fact that every port offered the exact same shopping experience) we enjoyed the ship the staff was wonderful and the food was very good... and we did some exploring at port and met lots of fun people!!!..The entertainment was really much more than we expected....BEWARE of the casino on the Splendor..it is very, very smoky so if you do not smoke its a problem..many people complained because it was so unusually terrible....they really need better ventilation it was the worst I have ever experienced...to bad we wanted to visit it more than we did.
but.. BOOKING it was not so fun..no one at delta could help me with my hotel and transfers to and from the hotel/airport..Because we booked it through Delta-- Carnival said they could not help us..so I had to do all the hunting and travel vouchers pickups,hotel etc.. my self..but ended up with a great hotel a good price ..They picked us up at the airport,no charge. The Renaissance was very nice and affordable....then they provided us with transport to the port and a good breakfast.....exactly what we wanted ..no hassles!!!...we were leaving from the west coast so we had to arrive a day early.
I have booked similar cruises that took care of everything so I was expecting the same service.

Ship tip
If you do not smoke and want to gamble on board at the casino.. this is not the ship for you.... they have a VERY,very poor ventilation system..I was not the only one complaining it was a topic of conversation on the elevators...more than once
Ports of call
Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
