Carnival Splendor Cruise Reviews - Reviews

its our first cruise and didnt know what to expect. we were surprised at how well we were taken cared of - like THIS IS WHAT A VACATION IS! One of the biggest contributing factor to how awesome this vacation is , is the deal we got at . The onboard credit really helped with the fees and charges. We almost didnt want to go home, but there are bills to pay :( We are already planning on our next cruise because we enjoyed the experience immensely!

Awesome Vacation! Food was very, very good and staff was very nice.

It was cool the staff defiantly made a good impact on how fun and clean the ship was

We took this cruise for 2 reasons. My birthday, and his 8th grade graduation. There were to be 3 of us but my son died in January so it was only 2. We needed the time to heal, and bond.. We will do another cruise and probably with Carnivale but a different destination. We had a good time on board but I can honestly say, traveling with a child and not an adult you get a totality different perspestive on cruising.

Ship is in very poor condition as an experienced cruiser I would not recommend this ship.

We went on a United Airlines endorsed shore excursion to the Riu Palace for the day. We got held up at the front desk because we didn't have a receipt that wasn't mailed to us. I did have a receipt for a deposit I made. They weren't going to let us in until I made a stink about it. At one of their restaurants, a certain dish was out and asked worker if they would be making more. A got a quick NO! It was an all day buffet and they weren't going to put out more food. Upon leaving we accidently left our IDs at the front desk. It was taken us more than 10 days to get an answer from the resort about sending the ID back, of which we provided a FEDEX number to mail. As of this writing, we still don't have our IDs. We paid $100+ each for this excursion plus transportation to get there (40 min drive), and in my opinion it was a waste. United Airlines should seriously look into this place before it continues to endorse. Also after I booked cruise, called United about suite upgrade offer.....they had no offer and was told to read fine print. While I enjoyed the Carnival cruise, I'll be hesitant to sign up thru United, which is my carrier of choice. But I guess I'll be contemplating that as well.

Was very nice had lots of fun at Port seeing the sights

Carnival is a great cruise line if you are traveling with children. They have tons of stuff for all age groups of children and teens. We have done many cruises with all adults and this was our first with our Grand Sons. It was a different experience for us as we did this cruise around them. It was so much fun sharing the excitement with them. The highlights for them were the Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham breakfast, The Dr Seuss Parade and show ... We have used many cruise lines and always seem to find the best value and most FUN on Carnival .

Great trip, amazing staff and service, really an excellent program all together, we were very happy with our trip

Do not take this cruise until Carnival gets more parking and better traffic flow for drop off and pick up of passengers.

Enjoyed our first ride. Unfortunately we can’t go to Cabo San Lucas due to hurricane but received 100% credit for our future cruise which I felt customers were well treated with care, even by the weather reason. Totally different from airline companies.

Carnival did offer another cruise 100% comparable to what we spent so not all was lost and they did honor the credit which was already applied to a future trip and booked; we are super excited😉😬

Enjoyed the cruise. Crew was great. Dining room staff excellent. Shows were entertaining

The entertainment crew made this trip great. The ship itself was not worth the money but the fun squad made up for it.

Service was excellent. Room was excellent. Entertainment was excellent. Everything was amazing

Our cabins were located exactly underneath the galley for The Grill. The noise all day and all night was very very loud. Complaints to Guest Services brought assurances that they would, "talk to the food & beverage staff, manager etc." but day after day (including calls to guest services at 4:30am when the noise was worst), made no difference. They kept offering us free excursions which we rejected as we wanted to SLEEP! Finally toward the end of the trip they gave us an onboard credit and a certificate for 15% off a future cruise (??). We told them thank you but that it did not make up for a week without proper sleep (and we were traveling with a 3 year old). They apologized a lot but were unable to solve the issue. The noise was very loud, people dragging things across the floor and banging metal against metal. Also employees talking very loudly. Not a good cruise we were exhausted at the end!

Smooth embarkment, loved the ports, delicious food. The onboard steak house was fabulous. Very friendly staff. Only negative was the entertainment, different shows same boring entertainers. Fast smooth departure.

Awesome has best time very kick pads but very professional Cruise everything perfect especially loved my balcony room!

The cruise was great , the only thing I will like to change is that the Latin group perform in a designated room during the entire cruise...NOT at mid ship, that location is way to crowded. Logistically it's a nightmare location way to much traffic.

The staff was exceptional, the food was very good. If you can overlook the pink decor and you want the ports of call, then this is the cruise for you.
