New York (Manhattan) to the Bahamas Carnival Splendor Cruise Reviews

There were 7 in our party, 5 adults and two kids. We drove to NYC pier from Phila, parked our car on the roof ($320 for 8 days) and checked in. We are platinum status on CCL and got processed and were eating lunch by noon. The ship is decorated beautifully. We put out stuff in our rooms on decks 8 and 1 and went out to explore. Deck 5 was the promenade and the only way to get from front to back. ...

Myself, my husband, and my sister and her husband went on this cruise. I have cruised many times before, but this was the absolute worst. The service desk person (Supervisor) was very rude. The restaurant person Jose was even more rude, and argumentative stating "i don't care over and over". First off, the security of taking and bringing items on this ship was lacking. People were allowed to take ...

Booked 2 cabins on lido deck/ adjoining balconies for 2 late 50's couples. Drove to the port from NJ, and parked at the cruise terminal.. Expensive but extremely easy to give the porter our bags and off to the check in lines. Our cousin's are platinum on carnival so we just tagged along and avoided the madhouse check in lines...However, it would appear many people are priorty and with tag alongs, ...

Let me start by saying this was our first Carnival cruise. I've previously sailed with Disney, Royal, and NCL. I'd heard mixed things about Carnival but the price was right so we decided to go for it. It was a mixed bag. Embarkation was easy with the exception of Carnival announcing priority boarding. This was meant for Platinum and Diamond level guests but since FTTF (which we had) passes also ...

I booked a last minute cruise  and drove from Rhode Island to Manhattan to board the cruise. I parked in the lot right next to the cruise ship as it was most convenient but a little pricy at $320 for the (8) days. i could have save about $80 by parking elsewhere but at the end of the day it was worth the extra money. I was in cabin #1347 and it was very convenient to the elevators and right on ...

Me and my daughter (47 & 16) decided to take kind of last min cruise. Took the bus from Providence RI to N.Y. (recomended), even did it the same day and arrived in plenty of time!! I was very worried, but for nothing. The one difference I noticed by going out of New York (two times) and Florida (multiple tmes) on all my other cruises, is Northerner's (I live in Rhode Island) are more demanding, ...

This was my third Cruise, first on Carnival and my girlfriend's 5th on carnival. While we both had a great time on vacation, we were disappointed with the Carnival Splendor. The food wasn't that great at all and the entertainment wasn't that great, but the service was spectacular. First, our room steward, waiters and all the workers on the ship were great. Our room was cleaned immediately after ...

We are 5 time cruisers who have been on three royal Caribbean cruises and two carnival cruises. We are carnival VIFP members AND THIS WAS BY FAR THE WORST CRUISE WE HAVE EVER HAD! This cruise was booked by my family (2 adults and 2 children) and because of other carnival cruise experiences we had two other families (2 adults 3 kids & 2 adults 2 kids) book with us. Let me breakdown the good and the ...

I just returned home from a great vacation to Port Canaveral and the Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport). My husband and I have traveled many times on Norwegian Cruise Lines, once on Holland America and once on Princess. We have only cruised twice with our son: once last year to Bermuda on the inaugural cruise of the Norwegian Breakaway to Bermuda and this time aboard Carnival Splendor. We chose this ...

I haven’t written a review in quite a while, so I figured now would be a good time to do another one. I sailed on Carnival Splendor in April.. It’s my fourth Carnival cruise, but my first on a ship that was not part of the Spirit class. I’d toured the ship about a year ago, so I had some idea of what she looks like. This was also my first sailing out of Manhattan. Generally I sail from either Cape ...
