We traveled on the Carnival Splendor on 6/6/20 - 6/13/10. What an AWESOME cruise! This was my 4th Carnival cruise (I ONLY travel Carnival) and my friends first cruise. We both loved every minute of it!

Friday and Saturday (6/4 - 6/5): We decided to visit Knottsberry Farm before our cruise. We stayed at the Knottsberry Farm Resort Hotel. Very nice and clean hotel...very little resort-type place. The room was comfortable, the view of the park was great, and the amenities were decent. The restaurant, however, was terrible. Service was bad, food worse, prices ridiculous. We did go to Huntington Beach (about a 15-20 minute drive from the hotel). We paid 15 dollars and were able to stay at the beach from the time it opened until it closed. We seemed to have the beach to ourselves, which was well worth the 15 dollar price.

After our stay at the Knottsberry Farm "Resort" Hotel, we moved over to Long Beach and stayed at the Best Western on the corner of Long Beach Blvd. and the PCH. Nice hotel, very clean, and affordable if you do the park-and-cruise special they have. We paid $179 which included the room for the night, breakfast the next morning, and a shuttle that took us to and back from the cruise terminal.

Category 6C, #2286. Very clean, spacious, plenty of closet and drawer space, lots of light, sofa, chair, coffee table, flat screen TV, in-room safe and minibar, vanity/desk area w/ one electrical outlet, adjustable thermostat, 2 twin size beds (convertible to one queen, and tastefully decorated.

Bathroom was small, but manageable. Plenty of shelf space, one electrical outlet, free samples of toiletries, soap, shampoo, and body was provided, removable and adjustable spray shower head, plenty of towels!
