Well I just got home today from a back to back cruise on the Splendor. I went into the cruise with an open mind; this was my 6th and 7th Carnival cruise. Overall I had a really good time, I was able to relax for the 16 days, and however there were some major problems for me. So here goes the lengthy review!!!

Main Dining Room: The main dining room was excellent, I had read many complaints about this and I found none of them to be true for me. The food was always hot and properly prepared. The MDR staff was also really good, our main waiter was phenomenal, he had no problems at all. We ate during the Your Time Dining, this started at 5:45 and we had no issues getting tables, but we were always there fairly early. One piece of advice, if you have your time dining get there early. Otherwise you will have to wait in a line if you hit a popular time, there is really no good answer to when this is though... On the first cruise it was during the first hour, during the second I only saw a line at the start...

Lido Buffet Breakfast: The breakfast buffet on the Lido deck was decent, however if you were not up there prior to 9:00am you would hit large lines. Like many others have said the eggs are TERRIBLE, really inedible. However there is a solution to this simply go to the Omelet station and have them fry you up eggs done any way you like. They will even make you fresh scrambled eggs. The rest of the breakfast items were the same generic stuff...
