"No "official" rapid antigen tests were available near my home, but I heard that Carnival may offer them at a cash price (no insurance) at the dock, as some other cruise lines do.It is a relatively informal cruise itinerary -- warm clothes and good rain gear are more important than fancy dress...."Read More
We were a group of 17, part of a larger group who had been traveling in Australia and New Zealand. Several wanted to visit the Great Barrier Reef, and this cruise seemed to be an easy and fun way to do it. While we are not exactly "quiet and shy" people by any means, everyone in our group was annoyed by how loud everything on this ship was. The decor was loud, the other passengers were loud, the ...
We are currently on the January 28th, 2024 Carnival Splendor itinerary now heading back to Syndney. This cruise has been such a disappointment that I felt compelled to write a recent review. To summarize, it is the first time on a Carnival cruise where we are ready to get off of the ship and are embarrassed that our extended family had such a terrible experience for their first cruise. ...
3 day cruise from Sydney Australia. Food . Rubbish . Entertainment. Rubbish . Staff direction . Rubbish . Internet access . Ripoff . Nightlife . Rubbish . Only good thing we can say about this trip . Getting off the boat to go home . Carnival splendor. RUBBISH .
I will never sail with this ship or Carnival again . Unorganised from go to end. Had better food in Macdonalds. Entertainment was like ...
My wife and I decided to try the 3 day cruise
We didn’t know what to really expect.
After disembarking we discussed and reflected in the fairest way I feel
The staff were very hard working and the catering was managed to perfection .We did wonder how there were som many staff on board as many were from overseas.
Pros:
For disabled people it was quite functional
The food ...
This was a family Christmas get together, the old saying you get what you pay for …. If you like standing in lines for food, being sat on a Tender for over 45 minutes on the water, not being able to get off in searing heat, then trying to get back to the ship, lining up for hours, again in the heat, whilst they only ran 2 Tenders, welll this is the cruise for you. Accounts paid in full for on ...
I have sailed with Carnival many times, the last one pre Covid in February, 2020 and always found everything to be great.
We recently joined Splendor for a 10 night South Pacific cruise on December 4th, 2023.
Sadly the cost cutting on this cruise was very obvious with less security, cabin stewards, waiters, cleaners etc.
Almost everything is now controlled by a Carnival hub app now that ...
We chose Carnival as my daughter had been on a previous cruise with them. The staff were so welcoming and fantastically helpful. Rosalyn our stewardess and all the other staff especially Frederico, Glenn, and so many others were unbelievably helpful with our everyday and dining experience. There didn't seem to be anything too difficult for them to assist and provide us with. The food was ...
My husband & I travelled with 8 other friends. Overall, we had a great time BUT we didn't walk away with raving reviews.
Our cabin was clean and our bed was comfortable. The staff were very attentive and polite. This is obviously a very important feature.
The entertainment was great. The theme nights were a lot of fun.
The decor on this ship is compared to a sensory nightmare. The ...
Carnival Splendor is an amazing 4 night cruise that took us to a wonderful island also known as Moreton Island. All of the cabins that I have seen are shockingly very clean, as if there wasn’t even a speck of dirty items in the cabins. The cabins also have drinks just in case you get thirsty in your sleep and the beds on the cruise are extremely comfy and to the point that I miss them so much! ...
Received a great price from Carnival from the VIFPP program...an oceanview suite with Cheers package and lots of added perks. In all, Carnival would have paid for us to get on! Even had transfers to and from the cruise port via SUV compliments of Carnival! Lots of presents including fresh fruit and wine, power bank, backpack and kangaroos delivered to our cabin throughout the cruise.
But, we ...
