Not the right time of year to cruise to Hawaii - too cold! by clhonsberger

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Hawaii

The Pacific in January is cold and choppy. If you want to go to Hawaii in January - Fly!. The food on board is not very good. We didn't starve but what we did have was very limiting.

Loved the ports I visited in Hawaii by CrusingTom

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Hawaii

Embarkation was confusion and lines, some nice shows and comedians to watch on the way to Hawaii, Great visits to beautiful islands at each of our port of calls in Hawaii, interesting experience in Mexico, and the drudgery of disembarkation.

Mexican Riviera Cruise by mayersr10

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Mexico

The cruise was a great getaway for the price. All the staff and service on board were friendly and helpful when needed. I wish there were a little more activities and games during the sea days but the ones they did have were still fun to participate in.

Hawaiian Carnival Cruise by pmhodge3

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Hawaii

The amounts charged to my Visa card do not match my final billing statement. My account is now showing a negative balance even though there was enough available to cover the final balance due when departing.

Staff and service was excellent. 14 days is a long time at sea. Ports were for the most part non-exceptional. by Pahude

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Hawaii

We tend to not rush around and a long cruise provided enough time to do nothing often but still hit all the things the ship had to offer. We do not gamble or drink, so we needed to find something else to do to fill the hours. We advise eating in the dining room as much as possible, as it is great food ( I loved the grain-fed beef!) and great variety and burns a few more hours. Make use of the excercise facility to burn the food and again, kill more hours. Ports were mediocre. Kauai is a great island and we found a good guide once off the ship. Still I was surprised we were let off in an industrial port that required going elsewhere to enjoy the island. All excursions are over-priced. In Honolulu we went down by Waikiki and found an inexpensive ($20 per) tour bus that gave us a nice trip outside of the city. Same for the other ports.

The seas from Long BEACH to HAWAII and back were rough as we were forewarn. Many people such as my wife became ill. The amenities , activities , and food were great.

We have been on the Carnival Dream and the Breeze in the past seven month-- this ship is somewhat smaller and more worn. We had a wonderful time and loved the ports! Lee mason is THE BEST Cruise Director ever! Wonderful Playlist Productions!

Don't cruise with Carnival by bmack1335

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Mexico

Don't cruise with Carnival. The jacuzzis were colder than swimming pools. The bartender in casino didn't even acknowledge us for 10 minutes. The buffet had same food options everyday. The room temperature was freezing in the dining area. They dont offer blankets for movies like Princess Cruise Line. Overall bad experience for my family.

A Splendid Vacation Aboard the Carnival Splendor by Santoemma

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Mexico

The ship's staff and crew were wonderful. Mostly foreigners, but all spoke plenty of English. The onboard dining was excellent. We recommend a dinner at the Pinnacle, it's worth the extra $35 / person, just once, at least. This was our first cruise and it was an overall positive experience. We didn't like the photography scam, nor the constant push to buy jewelry or watches which really aren't priced to sell. However, the overall experience was great.

Its getting worse, the sauna and steam rooms are almost nonexistent for non-spa users. by samin1733

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Splendor / Destination: Mexico

Go back to the way it was before, not just catering for the super rich people. Also no double occupancy charge for single person.
