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

I've cruised multiple times on Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian cruise lines. This sailing was my wedding cruise, so I traveled this same ship ten months earlier for the repositioning cruise in order to assess if we wanted to advocate for our guests to join us on the post-wedding voyage. Had I not so recently sailed on the exact same ship, I wouldn't have had anything to compare it to and ...

My family been on a number of Carnival cruises. My wife been on this boat before, but this is my first time on Spender. The whole family when this time. The Cruise was book solid. -The cabin was good, beds were nice, shower need to be better. I hate that fact they took away my electric cord I needed to charge my devices. Got it back at end of cruise. Otherwise the maid and room service was ...

My now-husband and I booked the 8 day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Splendor because we were getting married onboard the ship on embarkation day. Because we were getting married that afternoon, we got priority check-in, which was no hassle and a breeze. We splurged on a room with a balcony, which was perfect for keeping the room from seeming too small and claustrophobic and for sitting ...

Just returned from a cruise to Bahamas on Splendor. Trip Pros were as follows: 1. Great housekeeping 2. Satisfactory food 3. Good entertainment And then there were Cons: 1. Dealers in the casinos who had no idea how to deal. 2. Casino that dint play fair. (I was gyped (over $1100 due to carelessness and rude attitude of the dealer and then the pit boss.  AVOID if you can and if you cannot, ...

I recently returned from an 8 night cruise aboard the Carnival Spendor. This is my first formal review of any ship I have been on. It was my 25th cruise. I have sailed with RCCL, Celebrity, NCL, and Princess. This was my 4th cruise on Carnival. I've stayed in nearly every category of accommodation available and have no problem flip flopping -- butler one cruise, no window the next) This was a ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is our third Carnival cruise. It is very good value for the money, no question. But Splendor needs some repairs. We paid for a Spa Balcony on deck 10. Cabin was quite nice but average in every way. Nothing special. The special is supposed to be the access to the Spa. As advertised with private elevator and thermal rooms and pool. The elevator is there but didn't work for the entire cruise. ...

This was my sixth, my husband's fifth, and our daughter's third cruise - my third and their second trip on Carnival. Overall we had a very good time and would definitely sail on the Splendor again - but not in February out of NYC! We drove down from Vermont on the day of embarkation (Friday 2/21). We left early - 5am - as there was freezing rain up our way that day. Our trip to Manhattan was ...
