Remarks:
"So last March I lucked out and got to do more than spend an afternoon doing a ship inspection - I got to sail on Carnival Cruises brand spanking new ship, the Splendor! It was a 3 day/2 night cruise to nowhere out of San Francisco. She is the competition for RCCL's Mariner of the Seas, doing 7 night Mexican Riviera cruises out of Los Angeles. Personally, I think even though they both cater to families, I would actually prefer to put clients with young children on the Carnival Splendor, rather than the RCCL Mariner. The reason - I found the children's areas and programs (Camp Carnival) to be great! RCCL has great entertainment and amenities (like the rock wall, inline skating, etc.) that older kids would totally enjoy.
I thought this was a really nice ship, with one exception. When the designers got together, I picture someone shouting out in the meeting 'PINK POLKA DOTS' and everyone must have agreed how brilliant. Really? They went a little overboard in that department! The two story dining rooms were impressive. Not as beautiful as the Mariner, but still very nice. They are named the Gold Pearl and Black Pearl. In regards to food, I have always been pleased with Carnival. This is surprising, because I don't think that highly of their other brand - Princess Cruises' cuisine. Don't get me wrong - they are not as good as Celebrity Cruises, but the food was good and plentiful onboard. I still really enjoyed their pre-dinner sushi bar and one night they did Tapas on the Promenade level. I found that there were a lot of bars on this ship vs. places to just lounge around. However the decor of the public spaces are great and I loved the casino the best! The staterooms were what I have come to expect from Carnival. Decor was strange, while also being on the plain side. I like the size of the standard balcony stateroom. Plenty of space, lots of mirrors and a nice sized seating area. And, of course, no Carnival cruise is complete without coming back at the end of the night to your towel buddy! Carnival has some of the best pricing and I would be happy to discuss booking your next family vacation and include some extra amenities!
If you are considering a Cruise Vacation, drop me a line and I would be happy to help you find the right cruise at the right price." - Lauren Liebert, Ticket to Travel , Mountain View, Calif.
