Sail Date: Mar 2017
Cabin: Cloud 9 Spa Balcony

This was our 10th Carnival cruise out of 14 total. The others being with RCL, Princess, Celebrity and Costa.

Cruising since our mid twenties and we live in Florida!

After reading a lot of negative reviews on the Splendor, we were a little worried and especially after their mechanical issues a couple of weeks ago. I do believe however anything that if anything goes wrong with a Carnival Ship it is highlighted and exploited more especially on the media and the reviews. Mechanical faults happen and we were kept up to date all week before the cruise.

Cabin Review

Cloud 9 Spa Balcony

As is was a spa balcony cabin, slightly different decor, complimentary spa soaps, shampoos etc, spa slippers and spa bathrooms.

Thermal pool our favorite was close by.

Great cabin.

Port Reviews

Grand Turk

Rained here. Did miss snorkeling in the crystal blue water however bad weather happens. Im sure you will see negative reviews on this and that the weather was carnivals fault.

Did some shopping and went back to the ship to relax in the covered thermal pool...bliss.

St. Thomas

Been here many times. Took the skyride, great photos of the island from the top, strolled around. Couldnt wait to get back on the ship to see Chis Tucker live and of course our favorite food the Tandoor!

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)

Beautiful. Zip lining, lovely winding pool. Stayed at amber cove and just relaxed.

San Juan

Again been here many times. Walked around to the forts and back to get the steps and some fitness in.

Miami

Miami. Get some nice skyline pictures before you leave port.
