Carnival Splendor Review
Rating by category
Additional details
I chose this ship because we were going with family friends that had already booked. I have cruised enough to know that this ship was very disappointing with what it offered.
THE ENTERTAINMENT was very poor. The nightly shows were dancers and singers screeching to period canned music. The special entertainment for the week comedian Chris Tucker seemed to work off the cuff and mumbled a bit. If you hadn't seen his movies, you were lost.
ADULT POOL AREA is for young adults as the pool only offers a ladder to get in and out. There were some passengers with knee/back issues that could not get in. No pool monitors as the no reserving chairs was posted but there were chairs unoccupied with shirts pulled over the backs to reserve ALL DAY. No towels available in adult area.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
The cabin was a nice size but worn. Definitely needs an update and a deep cleaning.
Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Amber Cove was very nice. The cable car ride down the mountain was beautiful!
San Juan
Walked town. Used local transportation and it worked out fine
St. Thomas
The shops were nice. Used local transportation and it worked out nicely.
Grand Turk
It rained so it ruined this poor as everything is very open.
Miami
We live in Florida so we just boarded ship in Miami.
