My Husband and I went on this cruise for our honeymoon and it was the worst cruise ship that we have ever been on! We went on Norweigan Cruise Line last year and we loved it but since they were booked around the time we wanted to go for our honeymoon, we figured that we would give Carnival a try...BIG MISTAKE!! On our first day, we were hanging out at the pool and I wanted to get a drink and since there was no waiter to be found, my husband went to the bar to get me one. He ended up waiting for a good 20 minutes and the bartender kept skipping over him. There were two people that came up to the bar and they were served before him! When my husband asked the bartender why they got their drink first, his response was "They were here before you" and walked away from him. Afterwards, we went to guest services, the representative that we dealt with looked like she didn't even want to be there reluctantly called to beverage manager. We spoke to the Manager Sam and all he said was "We'll see what we can do" and nothing was done. The poolside waiters were horrible! When I would order a drink, I would wait at least 30 minutes just to get one.

I would not recommend this cruise ship to anyone! The service was horrible, the staff was rude, and there was not much variety of dinner choices. When we were on Norweigan Sky last year, the service was phenomenal and you had many choices of places to eat at for dinner. On Carnival Splendor, you were only limited to the Dining Room, the Steakhouse, and one type of buffet.

They had three pools and they were too small so I felt like I was in a watering hole. I felt like if I moved back, I would end up elbowing someone. The nightly entertainment could have been better and the nightclub had good music but the crowd was awful. At one point, my husband and I were the only ones on the dance floor. I also didn't like the fact that they allowed smoking in there so it made it hard for me to even enjoy myself.
