We sailed on the Carnival Splendour in February out of the port of LA for a two day stop in Cabo San Lucas, a one day stop in Puerto Vallarta, and three days at sea.
This was our sixth cruise with Carnival and the fourth time we have traveled this route. Traditionally we have sailed on spirit-class cruise ships with about a capacity of around 2000 passengers. This was our first time aboard the Carnival Splendor which has a passenger capacity of 3006 passengers.
On our other cruises parking at the Long Beach terminal has been easy. We would arrive about 1-1:30 ish and there would be plenty of parking spaces left. This was not the case for this cruise. We got what we believe was the last parking space in the parking garage (On the top level far corner). I did not see signs for where the overflow parking was supposed to go. Some advice is if you are not arriving early perhaps call in and ask where to go if the parking garage is full. Or get dropped off.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Our room was a normal balcony room. Aside from the afore mentioned paint chip chairs the mattress and pillows were completely past the point of wearing out. I’ve been in the army, believe me I’m not fussy when it comes to sleeping accommodations but when you drop 3K on a cruise you expect a mattress to be of the same quality as an average priced motel.
The room problems were further complicated by the fact that the bed of our neighbors and our bed were on the same wall. This means we could hear everything. And I mean everything. Our neighbors must have been excited about being on a cruise because you could audibly hear them at least seven times a day. And I believe the gal was particularly excited because she kept repeating the mantra “Oh Yes”. I am not sure if these rooms are different from other Carnival ships but man the walls seemed thin. We have never had this problem on any of the other five Carnival ships we have sailed on.
