Carnival Splendor Review

Additional details
Arrived LAX the afternoon of, took the Super Shuttle to the pier ($17pp). Very smooth.
Check in was smooth as well. It was then that we were told about the change of itinerary due to hurricane Jimena. We lost PV and Mazatlan as stops but gained Catalina and Ensenada. Having been to both PV and Mazatlan but never to Catalina, we weren't overly disappointed. Carnival threw in a $50pp OBC and 25% off our next cruise. I thought this was overly generous. A Category 4 hurricane bearing down on the Baja is hardly Carnival's fault.
The ship is Carnival's newest and it showed. The decor however is an eyesore of 'pink donuts'. I can't believe that some Carnival exec. signed off on that!
Cabin Review
Balcony
Good size. Comfy beds. Good layout for the 3rd sofa bed. Not in the way at all. Room is midship and on deck 6 which is pretty central. For the Mexico cruise we would have preferred the other side of the ship for when we were in Cabo but not a big deal at all.
