Review summary

Awesome. Best time ever. Wish I didn't have to come back home. Out of all the cruise that we have been on I do believe that this cruise has been my favorite thus far besides my honeymoon cruise to Alaska.

Food and Dining

Okay let me just brag on these three right here. Menishing, Deddy, and Rolly. They were without a doubt the BEST waiting staff I have ever had. My husband and I have cruised with Carnival now 13 times and I have never gone to the dinning room where they remembered that my husband likes ice tea, we like extra ice, extra butter, etc. They made me feel like I was at home and that we were like family just visiting for the week. I can describe the feeling of how much I appreciated these three. I know it may just be food that we were receiving but that is a way to get to a person heart the say. It wasn't just the food, it was the experience and that they valued who the were serving. It wasn't just a face I will see a couple of times that week and send you on your way type of experience. It was something I will hold on to for a life time because we made friends that are just like family!

Awesome. I have never been on a cruise where it was easy to access a chair at any given time by the pool. 5 starts for this tone

Ship looked awesome to me!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was awesome. No complaints about size, or cleanliness. We did have some issues with the air condition in our room which we complained almost every day about. It finally got fixed second to the last day but still a little uncalled for BUT this WAS NOT the stewards fault!!!

Ship tip

By chance, did you have an inside cabin? Normally we have the porthole cabin, which has a window type ledge. This was great for extra storage. This was not available on the Splendor. Is there room under the bed for storage?

Good to know about Carnival Splendor. Going on it in December. Took a break from Carnival for few years and did others because we had very bad cruise with them. Giving them another try😎
