Carnival Splendor Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We just returned from our cruise on the Carnival Splendor, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed all the way around. We upgraded our cabin to the Grand Suite, which is supposed to be the largest cabins on the ship. The room was a nice size for my hubby and our 2 daughters (2&6), but I didn't really care for the long narrow balcony. We've had aft-facing balconies in the past and would choose that over all else.
The room was clean and in good condition. It wasn't quite ready when we boarded, but we were able to drop our bags, get some lunch, and explore the ship. The weather was very mild leaving NYC (sunny and in the 50's), and we were able to hang out on our balcony as we left the city (with our coats on).
The room had a rollaway crib set up for our 2 yr old, and we were happy to discover a DVD player as well. We brought our daughters favorite Disney movies to watch at bed time so they could unwind after long days on board.
Cabin Review
Room was very nice. Large enough for the four of us to be comfortable and tripping over each other the entire cruise. Lots of storage. DVD player the room (great when you have little kids). Mini-bar, large dressing room and huge bathroom with jacuzzi. Long, narrow balcony.
