Good Points: Excellent cabin, lido and retractable roof
Bad Points: Too many queues to get on/off vessel. Chaotic and shambolic lido self service. Too much American bias, over powering cruise director. Poor quality food, especially bacon at breakfast(very hard), poor standard of entertainment overall
General comments: This is supposed to be Carnivals flagship, my advice if you English stay well clear of them. You pay your gratuities when you depart port and you pay a surcharge on all your drinks! We were very disappointed in this cruise and will not use Carnival again. There is also a really annoying cruise director who is always on your tv in your cabin, as for the lido self service its like wacky races so shambolic its not true and if you leave the ship, it will take you an hour to get back on! When you go ashore you will pay for your shuttle bus as well.

Although we have been on quite a few cruises we have never actually travelled twice with the same line. Odd I know but at least we're not biased to any one company which is a fault we often find with fellow passengers.
We like the American approach to vacations and thoroughly enjoyed our Baltic cruise and the Carnival ship. We would have liked more formal evenings but thats not the style of this particular line. This is probably the best ship for families (both young and old) because there is ...

Good points, ports of call, food in Golden Pearl restaurant, room stewardess and waitresses in the restaurant. Bad points, Entertainment during the day, rudeness of some staff, cruise director. The ship seem to be lacking something. Not as enjoyable as the two previous cruises we have had with Carnival.

Cruising in europe is different from that in america. The european market and it's demands should make carnival deliver more class and style. The northen europe itinary was top class but the end result was far from what I would expect for the price... I think they should learn from royal carribean.

Carnival needs to realise that what works in the US will not work in other parts of the world. If Carnival wants to provide US style cruising then by all means stay in the US were they are appreciated by a style of client that enjoys this type of cruising. But do not waste peoples time and money who come to the European Cruise Market for the class and culture that this wonderful Continent in renowned for. Carnival needs to reconsider their entry into the European Market as their crass US style c ...

Had a great time on board. Food and friendly staff made the holiday, but layout of the ship let it down.

Overall the Carnival Splendor ship was great, we had a fab time and there was pleanty of choice for evening entertainment. The restaurants were fab too and the main restaurant (black or gold pearl) was great. At the end of the meal the waiters would get up and dance on the tables. Very entertaining.
Also try out the spa, $35 for a day pass. It was great and even though we went when we had a day at sea it wasn't as busy as we thought it would be.
