Carnival Splendor Cruise Reviews - Reviews

CD was great, service was great. Everything else was a bit disappointing.

This Cruise was just the best way to celebrate our 5th Anniversary. We relaxed reconnected and just simply had a wonderful time. Even if I was sick for about 30 hours. We loved that the Ship had a dome for keeping the weather out. The entertainment was great and the food was good and plentiful. The Ports of Call were also great. All in all we enjoyed everything about this Cruise. We even won a ship on a stick!!!!!

It really was good. The noise in our room was Bad!

Everyone had a great time. Moments we will never forget.

This was our first cruise and we loved it. I would definitely do it again. If something is wrong talk to someone. The staff is always willing to help and make this the best experience for you.

Due to our last minute change in destination because of hurricane damage, I was a bit skeptical about going at all. But they made up for it! Excellent customer service anytime we needed anything. A few flaws that I think can be changed: they always have photographers at every port stop at. Maybe move them away from the guests getting on and off the ship? It does create congestion for those of us not interested. Very smoothly run process overall! I'd definitely go again.

Great week. Great ship. Great staff. Dining is the only thing that was disappointing. I would book again on this ship if it travels to other ports I want to visit.

Our stop in Grand Turk, the snorkling with sting rays adventure was off the chain! However, our first port was St Martian, it was a beautiful island, full of great people and shops, but I nearly drowned in our first excursion snorkling. The spit they chose was over crowded. They had us all crammed together with two other ones. One of which, Snuba, I was snorkling and drifted into their air lines and became dangerously entangled in them. After about 10-15 mins of fighting and swallowing a load of sea water I managed to free myself. I was extremely exhausted, but managed to make it nack to our excursion boat. I got si k so that ruined the rest of the time there for my wife and I. This was our first cruise, and our 30th anniversary. We were quite upset of the thoight of loosing one another. The ship time was a saver for your cruise line as your entire personel service was outstanding. San Juan, was a let down. But we had a blast on St Kitts, and Grand Turk. We are going to give it another go. We had great fun despite the negative. Thanks for your great service. Joseph Morris, Sr.

Great first cruise.  Went with a couple that have been on several so they helped to make our time enjoyable.  We thought food was good but we ate very little from the buffets.  Usually ate breakfast in the dining rooms (or our room), lunch somewhere in port, and ate dinner in the dining hall every night.  Wait staff was great, food was good, and we could eat as much as we could stand.  Ship decor was unusual and looked dated to me but this is our first cruise.  Regardless the ship was very clean, there was always someone wiping down walls, mopping, etc. We were disappointed in the size, or lack of, on-board pools.  We thought there would be pretty large pools on a ship that can host over 3000 people but that isn't the case.  Wasn't an issue on port days but wouldn't be fun if your trip has many "sea" days (we only had one).  Cruise director was great, entertainment was pretty good too.  Went to a show every night and the comedy club a couple times.  Great first cruise.

Acknowledging my birthday. Showing how much carnival enjoy having a wonderful loyal customer on board who wish to celebrate her birthday on board a fun exciting ship.

This is the second time I booked a vacation for my birthday with carnival and didn't get anything for my birthday nor hit any money in the casino.

We had a fun time on this ship.  The weather did not cooperate as hoped.  We can't blame the ship for the bad weather.  Deco needs updating and cushioned seating on the Lido deck food area is to low for the tables.  When ports are changed more info should be supplied.  More info listed below.

My husband & I enjoyed a lot of the on board activities. We are empty nesters so the amount of kids on ship was a little bothersome. For the most part their was plenty to do everyday.We booked a spa cabin very clean & spacious, which included access to the spa's elemental hot tub & members only sauna, heated therapuetic chairs & chaise lounges that were so soothing and relaxing! The spa treatments are $$$$ & they offered specials but it ain't cheap! I liked the space and equipment in the gym.

Good food was in abundance, I enjoyed dinner everynight! I would recommend the open dining between 5:30-9:30 for flexibility.The entertainment was great. Singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, great!! The Cruise Director Malcom Burns is the consumate entertainer, really good at his job!! We arrived 2 days prior to spend time with family in Puerto Rico and received a tour of the Island & El Yunque rain forest! St. Kitts was full of retail but the people were very unfriendly, Antigua was also full of retail shops but the beaches were pretty and lush! St. Thomas was by far the most friendly and the views are heavenly. Tour guides were friendly personable & knowlegdeable. Grand Turks was the most fun. Margaritaville is the coolest spot & the wave pool is the most fun ever. the beach is huge & has ample lounge chairs. The swim pool is tiny but the D.J. made it seem large! We did the ATV excursion which was the most fun. Toured the Island & learned of the wildlife beaches,historical POI, not much to see as the Island is still rebuilding from hurricane "Ike" (2008)watch out for the wild horses and the donkees!

Carnival Guest services desk employees need retraining in customer service, they were by far the most unfriendly, discourteous people we encountered on the ship.Our wait staff & stewards and the absolute best!! 

Would recommend taking this cruise again with a few adjustments! Book thru Carnival directly or you may get screwed on the price like we did with Cheap Cruises. Everyone on that ship got a better deal than we did. I'm talking big savings like 80% what we paid with over $200 in credits! Book your excursions online, do not listen to people who say wait until you're on the ship. Book online & don't miss out on what you want to do!!

 I wish the food wasn't salted so much. I was trying to eat the more sugar free items but they were mostly salty . Also needed more things for the younger set, my grown children 23 years old and who don;t drink found that there wasn't enough of this for them to do on board othert hen eat

This was 8th cruise we have taken with Carnival and we’re pleased overall with this crew & the cruise itself. We did not like the boat due to the lack of bathrooms and the overall set up & decor.

What can I say, I enjoyed it to the fullest, life is to short not to enjoy the beauty of the Sea, I will be planning on another Cruise, deciding where to is the hard part lol

Great time, loved it! There are so many options and things to do. If you don’t have fun, it’s probably time you look at yourself and ask why? Definitely would do it again, ❤️🛳🏝🍹💥❤️🍹🏝🥥🍹❤️

Overall it was a pleasant experience for my husband and I!

Overall the whole experience was amazing! Wouldn't have wanted to spend our 10 year wedding anniversary any other way. Can't wait to plan our next cruise!

Great time with my children and grandchildren. Enjoyed the diversity of offerings for the wide age spread of our group

A very nice cruise and MarQ was a great cruise dirrctot. Yes
