Review summary

Love to cruise, love to cruise with Carnival. Will not need to sail on Splendor again. Color scheme is horrible. Try not to sail with a substitute cruise director

Embarkation

Platinum line was as long or longer then blue, red, gold line. Don’t like sail and sign card in mailbox. Had to,go to cabin before doing anything.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Miss the table cloths. Main menu items are not exciting do love the chilled soups, the s’mores parfait and the popcorn dessert. Missed Guys very much. Hamburgers were very blah.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Activities were adequate. Always something to do but not many choices.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were just ok, nothing really wowed me. Do love the comedian. PG shows were very clean and the late night shows were more PG-13 then R. No enforcement of 18 years and older

Disembarkation

No one in lounge to say platinum was already allowed off the ship. Port employees would not let us get to our luggage. Had to wait behind a line , why?
