Review summary

Honestly it was not as I expected. Everything was going good until we had to deal with the female photographer from Dream studio. She pretty much ruined the rest of our vacation. If you go on carnival splendor do not use Dream studio!! The photographers will try to persuade you to sign you up for a no obligation photo session at Dream studio. Do yourself a favor and do not use Dream studio. Also don’t pick to many pictures from the wall because they are very expensive and also don’t wait till last day thinking they will give you a better deal because they won’t they rather throw away the photos than give you a reasonable deal. Food is not great it gets to the point where it’s very repetitive. Maybe if it wasn’t for my experience with the Dream Studio experience I would have given a better review!!!

It really is your choose if you would like to purchase any pictures or not they can be expensive especially for families if they where rude or aggressive you should of put them in there place ..why let them spoil your vacation you also should of spoke to customer service and complained while on board don't let things like this spoil your family time .... relax and enjoy and handle things there and then don't put up with being pressured ... happy cruising
