Review summary

We've been on this same cruise-4 times. We love that we can drive from Arizona. Carnival is always fun. We've talked about trying other cruise ships but I don't know if they would be fun, so we always cruise Carnival. We know what to expect and are not disappointed. Will be back next year.

You’ll need to try other ships as Splendor heads from Long beach to Singapore in Oct then has one month total refit then heads to Sydney to make Sydney her home the Splendor was one of the first ships we went on 25 cruises ago however after trying others have had no issues and really have enjoyed each and everyone all so different but good different.. looking forward to joining the Splendor in long beach in Oct .. but have loved them all so far .. just do your research before you book then if you want a newer bigger ship they you have that choice all have been awesome for us happy cruising guys...

If you like Splendor, you’ll love the other Carnival ships even more! I have been on 4 different Carnival ships so far and Splendor is in 4th place. The Dream is great! The Valor was my first cruise and I really loved it too! The Vista was alright. In order of my favorites from first to last ..... Dream, Valor, Vista and then Splendor! We go on the Glory in 5 1/2 months. I have heard good things about that ship! Next Halloween, we go on the new Carnival Mardi Gras! I have a feeling that is going to be my new favorite ship! I have been wanting to do the Breeze for a few years. I have heard so many people love that ship! On the Vista last year, I seen several people wearing Breeze shirts. One guy was talking up on the lido deck one night before a movie. I heard him say he has been on over 30 cruises! He said he has been on the Breeze 5 times! He said it was his favorite! Also 3 of the 4 ships I’ve been on, I have heard people talking great about the Breeze! So I’m curious! But anyway, I would go for it and venture out and try more Carnival ships. I really believe you will love them!
