This was my third Cruise, first on Carnival and my girlfriend's 5th on carnival. While we both had a great time on vacation, we were disappointed with the Carnival Splendor. The food wasn't that great at all and the entertainment wasn't that great, but the service was spectacular.

First, our room steward, waiters and all the workers on the ship were great. Our room was cleaned immediately after we left the room and everyone was so kind and remembered our names. The waiters were so funny, telling jokes and making things out of napkins. We never wanted to miss dinner. The dinner food was good, but that's the best thing I can say about the food.

Seemed to me that the buffet was always closed and there was a VERY limited variety of food. If you are looking for 5-star dining, the Splendor is not the ship for you. There were 4 separate buffet sections, but they all had the same exact food every day.

Cabin Review

Place to lay your head/bare necessities. Two twin beds that were turned into a King kept separating. Wouldn't suggest for a couple that likes to cuddle. Bed-comfort was just ok. Simply a place to lay your head at night. Cabin Steward (Jocelyn) was stellar. Room was always spotless. Woke up, went upstairs for breakfast and forgot something downstairs and was surprised to see the room already cleaned/bed make. Ample storage for 2 people.
