Review summary

It was an ok experiance but I would fly on the next trip.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Easy with no problem.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Expected more for the money spent. Fine dining was good but the rest of the food was very average. Soft drink plan was a waste of money as was the wifi plan.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

2 small pools for 3800 people is just not enough. The programming was ok at best.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Comedy shows are good along with a few other ones.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

Probably the best part.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room staff along with fine dining were great even though in the dining room, we felt a bit rushed by the wait staff.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Our room which was one of the largest on the ship felt like a cage. The balcony was a great experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Very small, bed was average from motel 6. Shower was even smaller than I could imagine.

Ship tip

It's better to fly.

I agree. We spent to much money on the Carnival Splendor and it was not worth it!

It definitely sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone.

It’s sounds like cruising is not not for you, which is fine. I appreciate your honest review in your opinion. I personally really like the splendor when we went to Hawaii in December of 2018. Lee mason is the best cruise director in the fleet.
