Review summary
The food served in the dining room were the same items served on the Lido Deck, with the exception of the Lobster Tails. I ordered from the Steakhouse Menu most nights. (SURCHARGE $20) Carnival has started charging for just about everything now. And what happen to the destination T-shirts. They only have Carnival Cruising or some port we didn't visit. And the sizes were limited. The line to buy T-shirts was like a Black Friday sale. Get there early or else. Now I see why real cruisers are switching to Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and even Disney. The entertainment was the best. Broadway nights with the singers they have on the Carnival Splendor. Much better than the cast on the Carnival Conquest. Hats off. They made the trip bearable. The lead male rocked the house. And the sultry female lead was giving him a run for the money. Outstanding. Cruise was okay. Entertainment was phenomenal.

Ship tip
Don't use the Spa It's almost as bad as timeshare tours. They tell you all these products you need to use and then hit you with the price. I had an acupuncture visit and before I was done she hit me with "you need a 6 month supply of these pills and they're $1140" and then she guilted me into $95.
Ports of call
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
