Carnival Splendor Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall Alaska is phenomenal. The scenery is breathtaking. Carnival was great as usual. Really the only way to see Alaska.

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.

For the price I paid last minute, this was a steal and an amazing trip. Better than my 2019 trip to Alaska where I splurged to go on Royal Princess with an Aft facing balcony. Wish I knew back then that I could spend more on excursions and less on the ship experience and still have an amazing time. 2 totally different experiences but an absolute steal for what I paid.

I had a really great time it was my first time going to Alaska

Was everything we expected and more, we where very lucky to have awesome weather,

We have been on over eleven cruises. This was the worst due to Covid documentation, port timing, redundancy of main evening entertainment and shortened food venues.

This was an enjoyable break from the Covid madness, but the kinks are not quite worked out. my biggest complaint is the use of the dependency of the phone onboard. The main reason I go on cruises is because my phone will not work on board. I have to use it all day at work. I want a vacation to relax and enjoy the quiet time. I did not like having to pull out the phone to look at the menu, to see what is going on, nor trying to check in with each other. Is there any way to go on vacation without the dam phone?

Trip was amazing, this should be a trip that everyone should go on once in their lifetime

Absolute wonderful time cruising. Tracy Arm Fjord was our favorite. The views were incredible. Ketchikan was our least favorite ONLY because we had only 5 hours to enjoy it and there were 4 other cruise ships at port that day. We will definitely cruise again and always with Marriott Bonvoy and Carnival.

Definitely 1 of the best cruises I've been on. Can't wait to go on another Alaskan cruise with different ports!!

Beautiful scenery. Would cruise there again. Loved having a naturalist on board. Must visit sawyer glacier

My favorite cruise to date. I hope to return someday. The scenery is magnificent in its raw beauty. The wildlife is abundant and of wide variety. There just wasn’t enough time to take in everything.

My last cruise was over 7 years ago... I had forgotten how great a cruise can be. This was truly wonderful. I had been searching for a good price on an Alaskan cruise for some time and finally found one on the Carnival Splendor. Everything from my steward team to the excursions to the dinner wait staff was top notch. Danu and his team took great care of me and my cabin. They seemed to be invisible at the right times yet always around when I needed something. And I loved the towel animals... that's something I remember from my previous cruise that I really enjoyed. Danu and his team have truly mastered the art of of customer service. I enjoyed him calling me by name too - very professional. And he always had a smile on his face. Carnival's training program must be among the best in the business. You have my deepest appreciation. Andy was my cruise director and he was great. Very funny and a true professional. I enjoyed his announcements and all the humor he provided. He was a true asset to the crew and the Splendor team. What can I say about dinner... WOW, besides the food being absolutley fantastic, the wait staff was truly exceptional. It really amazed me how they worked together to serve hundreds of guests with such a professional attitude in such a timely manner. I never waited for my meals for an inordinatley long time. Leticia, Hernan and Ketut was my team. And they were great. They too called me by name and greeted me each evening with a smile. Another testament to the great training Carnival provides and the emphysis you put on guest service and friendliness. Truly amazing. There were a couple nights I wanted to make "adjustments" to my meal and they were completely accomodating. The only downside I could see was all the weight I gained from all the great food!! ;-) I also had several wonderful waiters and waitresses at all the breakfast services too... I'd like to mention Romie, Ronald, Nyoman and Gusti. They were all fantastic at their jobs and were very accomodating as well. You really have a truly great crew on the Splendor and I enjoyed my time on the ship very much. I already have another cruise booked to the Bahamas in October on the Magic...I'm looking very forward to that!! Thanks again for a really memorable experience.

Although I was stationed in Alaska over three years. This was our first Cold Cruise. This State is beautiful and amazing. There is so much more to see and wish I could live there. Excellent cruise and I highly recommend everyone try this. We were lucky to have great weather at each port. No rain or snow. The weather was nearly 68 degrees with a mild wind. What luck!

Cruise pretty good. Cruise worse service on ship I have ever seen. I have been cruising for twenty years on carnival cruise.

We love cruises in general and this was our first to Alaska whereas we usually do Caribbean. But anyone that has been to Alaska always said they loved it and it was a must see so we flew across the country for it. It was beautiful and I’m happy we got to go but can’t wait till November for my hopefully hot Caribbean cruise!

The reason we gave 3 stars for both Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan, is because we had over 10 hours at the Point, and it's so small with limited things to do and go, and only 6 hours in Ketchikan, with there being so much more opportunities there. I wish the times at both places would have been reversed. Then it would have been 5 stars all around.

This was my 3rd cruise to Alaska and first from Seattle. I prefer a one-way itinerary between Vancouver and Alaska since the first and last days from Seattle have little scenery and the potential for rougher seas. There were a few small issues, but Alaska never fails to impress. The app did not give me a chance to review the ports, but I had great excursions. Seattle - Snoqualmie Falls & City Tour with Show Me Seattle. Tracy Arm Fjord - Small Boat Tour through Carnival. Skagway - Yukon Bus Tour with Chilkoot Charters. Juneau - Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier combo tour with Juneau Tours. Icy Strait Point - Whale watching with Hoonah Adventures. Ketchikan - Self-guided walking tour using map from the Visitors Center. Victoria - Did not get off the ship since it arrived after 8:00 PM.

Overall it was a Great cruise. Very beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend it!

Overall I loved the cruise, there was so much to do everyday I came back tired!
