Review for Carnival Splendor to South Pacific

We originally booked this cruise back in 2019, but it got cancelled because of the pandemic. We booked again but our cruise got cancelled 3 more times. Finally, we were able to take this cruise from Sydney, Australia. The first thing I noticed when boarding is the ship is VERY pink. But that didn't bother me, I thought it added to the experience. You enter the ship via the massive, breathtaking ...

So I decided to do a three day cruise for my 60th Birthday with my friend, overall cruise was good. Staff in the dining area were very good so was the food and most staff friendly. We were in a spa Balcony and enjoyed the perks very much, variety of food in the Lido was minimal but the pizza was amazing, our cabin 1016 was clean and tidy although cabins are cleaned once a day only.
TV was so ...

Chose this cruise for a 21st birthday
The food was terrible only food that was half decent was 24 hour pizza and the sandwich bar.
The all you can eat buffet was crap they just couldn’t even get the simple things right.
We went to the restaurant for 2 nights the first night I got a steak which I thought might’ve been nice being at the restaurant but was nothing fancy at all no one in ...

I got a good deal (I thought) of $890 AUD for a balcony cabin and $900 AUD OBC. I should have known that it was too good to be true (especially when the American cruisers told me what they were paying).
Embarkation was a total farce. We were told that we had to show a negative RAT result, 24 hrs prior. No one ever asked to see it. When we finally got on board, we waited by the lifts until, ...

Carnival Splendor had three cruises that lined up nicely. South Pacific, Moreton Island and New Zealand. We booked all three with the same cabin. Once we got on board for the first cruise we didn't unpack for 25 days! It was an epic journey, and with all the activities and port days, we had an incredible time. The staff were amazing and did anything and everything to be sure we were well ...

We had chosen and booked this cruise before the pandemic. It was canceled and reset many times do to the COVID outbreaks on ships and the lack of testing procedures laid out by the government and agreed upon by the cruiselines. We had set this cruise with 8 other people and were excited to meet up with them on this January 29. 2023 cruise out of Sydney. We were flying from the US about 9,000 miles ...

The embarkation was fast. The main lobby was very small, noisy and crowded. Their website says they use USD so I selected cash for my onboard account (I have only AUD bank card). I called hotline and they told me they use AUD, but I needed to get on board soon. So took 25 minutes to wait for guest service staff to fix my account (linked to AUD bank card ). I chose King bed for my dad online 2 days ...

The rust hanging from the anchor wells tell the story.
THE GOOD: ages 2-17 had a great time. The well supervised kids club was a terrific way to please the children 2-17 years The staff was polite and efficient. The all day self serve pizza and ice cream. The movies and the pool were also much enjoyed by them as was the laser light energetic sensational shows at night.
THE BAD: ...

Our group of ten embarked upon what we thought would be a great NYE cruise experience, unfortunately this did not occur as the negatives outweighed the positives.
Positives where great staff in the restaurants, bars and our cabin attendant. Also the boarding and disembarking process efficient.
Negatives, the food quality in the main dining room was terrible. Actually, the buffet and smaller ...

My daughter paid for me but I loved this trip. Previous cruises were boring with nothing to do and just so you know I'm not fussy, The RC cruise I was on had three (3) people turn up for Bingo and my friend and I were 2 of those. same fro craft class. I was the only person who turned up.
On the Splendor I was spoilt for choices. The food was not super super fancy in the buffet but still ...
