Carnival Splendor Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We're in our late 50s. Have cruised many times and have avoided Carnival due to the 'party boat' reputation. Chose it for the first of a B2B as we were treating two of our kids (19 and 21) to their first cruise vacation. Thankfully, we had the 2nd part of the B2B on Celebrity.
We had a fabulous cabin (#8448) - although somewhat noisy due to being under the pool area, the balcony was huge (wrap around) with lots of chairs/loungers. The cabin itself was very large. All this expected as I had researched the cabin. And, we paid much extra for this (well, not the noise part!). Our cabin steward was stellar. He ranked in the top of 9 cruises with other lines. Was concerned that the walk to the stairs/elevator might be a problem, but it was quite short. No complaints there.
That's pretty much where the good times end.
Cabin Review
Premium Vista Balcony
Great Cabin - extremely spacious balcony and very spacious cabin. That's what we paid extra for :)Some noise from pool deck directly above, during the day, but if you spend a lot of time on your balcony, you won't notice it so much! Nap time in the cabin can be problematic, however. Night time is fine.
