The Beautiful New Carnival SplendorThis is my second Carnival Cruise in the last two years I have to say I am very impressed. The service has been wonderful and the ship is beautiful. I have heard how the ship is very "pink" and it is but it goes well with all the art. Today I took a tour which was a scavenger hunt. I thought I would write about it and what I experienced.
The Web- The web room was really a nice set up. It is very private and they have headsets so you can listen to music etc.. What are really like is the wi-fi access in the cabins.No need to bring your laptop out to a public room when you can just send the email from your cabin. I was able to access the Internet with my Itouch as well which was a nice option. I would like to suggest to bring your web cam if you have a laptop. Great way to stay conned with family and friends. However, my favorite is to connect via Facebook. It has the best Im system.
Camp Carnival- I thought it was a very large space. Lots of video game terminals and of course the Nintendo Wii. I loved the bathroom with children sinks. It had a little dance floor and it was just a great space for little ones. I did notice how they have files for children with allergies so they can assist.
Circle C- This space was for the 12-14 year olds. I though it was a bit small and only one Nintendo Wii. It had three terminals for video gaming. It was really small and they could have done a better job.
Club o2- This was for the teenagers 15-17. It was a disco club just like the adult club is set up. You would not know unless they told you. I really like how its near the adult clubs. I never understand when some have it near the kid area. They want to act like adults and this gives them that impression.
Pinnacle- This is the Supper Club which is Carnivals upscale restaurant. It has a service charge of $30 per person. I love this place!! I have been many other lines upscale dinning and I can't find one that beats this. I love how they have a dance floor. Its not just dinner but an experience. The food is amazing and worth the fee. Your on vacation so spend the money and go. So many people won't since food is free in many other areas. Your missing an experience that will enhance your vacation. Very romantic and worth the funds.
Cloud9Spa- I really liked the gym area was very large and had a nice view. I liked the Thalassotherapy Pool and heated chairs. There is a 35 fee to use the Thalassotherapy Pool but a nice treat. If you book a Spa Cabin its included in your stay. I really enjoyed the Spa Cabin and if you love spa's its worth the every money.
Elite Golf- Want to improve your golf skills?? Its 45 a lesson so go for it. This ship also has a 9 hold minature golf area with a pirate theme. Great area.
Pools- Best I have seen from Carnival. I never cared for Carnival's Pools and I am impressed with the new look. I love the main pool area with huge dance floor. The pool is still small but no more tier deck. It is two levels and the second level has the Jacuzzis. The aft pool was a nice spot to see the wake of the ship. The main also has cover if needed. So rain or bad weather you will have a pool. They have a Mega Screen for movies and concerts.
I did enjoy the New Ship Smell!!
