Review summary
Carnival Splendor was a great ship. It was smooth sailing, easy to get around the ship, great crew and plenty to do, on and off the boat. The crew is seasoned and made the whole experience easy and comfortable. Anxiety was washed away. All the meals and activities were plentiful. The time of year made for very few children so chaos was minimum. The whole feel was "down to earth" but very professional. The shows were very good (not great) but entertaining. comedy Club and karaoke bar was fun. Even Bingo was entertaining. The excursions were well thought out and full yet efficient. The ports were safe and comfortable. Clean is the key. Food was exotic yet not over spiced. Many unique and rare finds.
