Review summary

Great cruise, the food was great and the help was great too.

There was only some small problems

1, Three pools, salt water and people get in and drink all day and never leave the pool but they do change the water everyday early morning,.

2, People come down in the morning and put there stuff on a chair buy the pool and show up later. there is not 3000 Chairs by the pool.

3, They had two dress up nights, and there were people that had there hats on with shorts and didn't follow the rules.

4,3000. People come onboard and are setting all over the ship the restaurant taking up room where people want to eat and no where to sit for up to 2 hours.

5, some time you don't get your luggage until late at night or even the next day bring some stuff in your carry on bag or you wont be happy,

6 you can book execution when you get off ship or on line before you leave for your cruise, with better prices

7,Carnival is the FUN SHIP, THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE A BLAST

DO THE STEAK HOUSE AND THE CHIEF TABLE WORTH THE MONEY

The inside cabin was great, save money and so QUIT SLEEP WELL and spend the money on drinks, pictures, shore time and gifts.

Ship tip

Love that ship, want to go back next year Do the Chief table and Steak House if you can. Go in pool early morning its salt water and the crew is great, do the Brunch and sit down dinners when ever you can, room service is free and great us it. Have a Blast

Have been on Splendor a few times and never had any issues. Head to the Serenity deck if you want to find a quiet place. Anytime dining at a later time is usually the best. Formal nites are not dress to the nines. But some people jusr dont want to get dressed up when on vacation. Was that possibly during the Muster station that people were sitting all over the restaurant? Luggage is usually at your cabin by at least six. Have to make sure you have your luggage tag that you print out before boarding firmly attached to luggage. Sit back and relax, life and cruising aren't perfect.

I say if no one shows up in 15 move stuff and have a sit down get a drink and call it a day, don't sweat the small stuff.

Sounds like 7 pretty good rules to follow/heed. Especially #1.
