Review summary

As always I found the Carnival people to be upbeat and fun loving. My wife and I are ready to plan our 6th cruise with Carnival Cruises. This was our 5th cruise with carnival and it was about as good as I could ask for in a vacation. Starting with our room Stewart Dnasas that kept our room in perfect condition at all times. Then our waiter Ryan by the second night had our drinks at the table as soon as we arrived. He also made sure I had lemons for my water at all times.

The excursions were a great times at each port. We booked all through Carnival and were not disappointed with any, and our guides were just superb.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Our waiter Ryan consistently exceeded our expectations.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

These activities are what you make yourselves. If you want to have fun you definitely will.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The Magician was the best and we can't say enough about John in the Piano Bar.

Children's Programs

Did not apply for the first time. We usually traveled with our three children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Both our cabin Stewart Dnasas and our waiter Ryan both surpassed our expectations. The couple we had diner with each night were overwhelmed by the service in their room and by Ryan for diner.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

This was one of the cleanest Ships we were on but we thought that the decorations were over the top. The White Pearl Restaurant looked like Fried eggs not peals.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our Stewart was great and our BJ's Travel agent put us right in the best place on the Ship

Ship tip

Expect to be dazzled.

I do believe it's twelve 12oz cans per person and you will need that to be part of your carry on. Please verify that by checking on Carnivals website on their FAQ page. By the way, I will be leaving the ship the day you are boarding. Have a Great cruise.

Thanks for the review. I'll be on Splendor in 43 days and looking forward to it with my DGF since it'll be our 5th anniversary.
