We chose Carnival as my daughter had been on a previous cruise with them. The staff were so welcoming and fantastically helpful. Rosalyn our stewardess and all the other staff especially Frederico, Glenn, and so many others were unbelievably helpful with our everyday and dining experience. There didn't seem to be anything too difficult for them to assist and provide us with. The food was ...
Carnival Splendor is an amazing 4 night cruise that took us to a wonderful island also known as Moreton Island. All of the cabins that I have seen are shockingly very clean, as if there wasn’t even a speck of dirty items in the cabins. The cabins also have drinks just in case you get thirsty in your sleep and the beds on the cruise are extremely comfy and to the point that I miss them so much! ...
We recently went on a short cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines on the Carnival Splendor to celebrate my husband’s birthday, & to also give our son the exciting experience of cruising.
Our cruise took us to Tangalooma on tropical Moreton Island. It’s a beautiful destination & we were lucky to have calm seas all the way there from Sydney. We took advantage of a shore excursion riding Segways & ...
This will be a concise review of some things I struggled to find before we left, things we wondered about and the trip in general.
Sydney: loved the city. So much to see and do in the area. We arrived 2 days prior and thank good ness we did. The trip was long, especially the flight from LA to Sydney. There are all the chain hotels but they are relatively pricey, especially near the port. We ...
The real stand out were the people, both staff and fellow passengers.
The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Also, after a couple of days the passengers had relaxed and it was really nice being amongst so many people who were their best selves. Everyone was chatting with strangers and that doesn’t generally happen in normal life.
The food was excellent. In the main dining room we ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
We could not wait to get back on a cruise after waiting 3 years (the Australian Govt made us wait and wait for cruises to restart) and booked as soon as we could.
Embarkation - The Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal is a great facility and the process was reasonably quick and well executed.
Stateroom - Balcony cabin on deck 9. Standard cabin - good storage, very comfortable bed, small ...
My wife booked the cruise this time and did very well as always.
The Splendor is a very nice ship which we were pleased to be aboard.
We sailed at a very turmultuous time with covid19 on the rise.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough on this. Their diligance and professionalism was fantastic in every way.
Yes we missed several ports that were planned But at no fault of Carnival, ...
