Review summary

Our cruise was a lot of fun. The staff on the ship worked very hard. Our room attendant Eve was great! She brought us extra towels and robes. Our head waiter Mr. G was wonderful. Everyone in the dinning room worked hard and we saw them working day and night. Food in the dining room was very good. We had a balcony room which we loved but the divider outside between the cabins shook quite a bit. We also had a broken light on our balcony which was not a big deal. But when we went into one of the ports we were told they would be doing work to our balcony. I thought they would be fixing the problem with the door and light. Neither were fixed. We were also not impressed with the room service food. On our last Carnival cruise the coffee and food was excellent and there were several choices. On this cruise it was limited and the coffee tasted burnt. We were also not happy that the steam room was an additional charge (over $250 for the both of us). On our last ship we really enjoyed the steam room on our days at sea. The spa did not even offer a one day pass. I would like to see more consistency from ship to ship. Overall we had a great time and will return on Carnival.

Our cabin was clean and decorated fine. Our balcony light was completely gone and the door dividing the cabin balconies outside shook making it hard to sleep.

I'll know about the steam room in October

Doesn't Splendor still have the free small steam room/showers in the gym locker area? As I remember they could take a while to heat up but we're great once they got going.

We reserved a spa room, because it was my understanding day passes were limited and I didn't want to take the chance of missing out. That may have been the problem...sold out.
