Carnival Splendor Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My husband and I just returned from a 7 night cruise to the Mexican Riviera on the Carnival Splendor.
Being a previous Carnival cruiser, an avid reader of Cruise Critic member reviews and an active Cruise Critic forum participant, I knew well what to expect of the ship in general.
The ship itself is very nice, once you get past all the pink decor. One of the the comedians on the ship aptly described it as looking as though a Pepto Bismal bottle was shaken and exploded all over the walls. One cruiser that I chatted with while waiting in line for dinner at the Black Pearl restaurant described it as "queeny" whatever that means. I certainly didn't mind the decor, although it wasn't exactly my taste, lol.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
We chose an ocean view cabin on the Main Deck (deck 2) on the border line of the mid-ship and aft areas, close to the elevators. It was clean, roomy, generous closet spaces, abundant counter space, had a mini bar and safe, and for the most part was very quiet.
