Carnival Splendor Review

Additional details
I thought I could get used to the overwhelming use of the color PINK but I did not. Seems the decor designer was on a mission to cover everthing with pink,circles,plastic surfaces,Black Tile and 40.000 color changing lights? Carnival built this New Ship with the Old style Diesel Engines,Long propeller shaft and Prop design. The results are a LOT of Rumbeling,Thumping and Vibration when underway. It was really bad in the Gold Pearl dining room and my cabin. Royal Caribbean has changed to a self contained AzaPod propulsion system that uses Electric Motors/Props suspended below the ship,much quieter and smoother. We had an Inside Cabin on Deck 6. Number 6301. It is square instead of
the long narrow cabins. A very nice layout and feels bigger than a
normal cabin. Lots of closet space and the Flat Screen TV was nice even
Cabin Review
We had an Inside Cabin on Deck 6. Number 6301. It is square instead of the long narrow cabins. A very nice layout and feels bigger than a normal cabin. Lots of closet space and the Flat Screen TV was nice even if a little on the small side and could not be turned completely to face the bed. The remote had limited range and you had to hold it way out in front of you when more than 10 feet away to get into it's range. The bed had a big low spot in the middle that made it feel almost like a shallow hammock. Not what I expected for a ship this new? Being on a short inside passageway means less foot traffic/noise outside the door. After many Cruises we find a window or balcony cabin a waste of money as we spend very little time IN our cabin in the daytime and sleep better in the dark and quiet of the inside cabins. If you have ever had a balcony cabin on a windy night the noise will keep you awake.
