andynapril Posted October 8, 2011 #704 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hi~ We'll be on the Splendor next month - can't wait. Can anyone tell me if there are still free cocktails at the Captains Cocktail party or are they just "$1 off on all drinks" as I've read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litewait Posted October 10, 2011 #706 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Fiesta Latino is definately worth going to~ Didnt do the buffet so really can't comment on that. Captains party, drinks with $1.00 off. The Past Guest party has the free drinks and hor devores.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceleven Posted October 11, 2011 #709 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have a question about the weather on the sea days going down and returning. I've read several posts about it being windy and cool/cold on those days. Is that just a seasonal thing or something that always happens due to the sea in that area? What has been your experience? I have no problem with packing warmer clothes for this, I'm just more curious as to if this is a common event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjinaz Posted October 11, 2011 #710 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think it's most of the time. We've been to the Mexican Riveria several times and this has always been the case. Going doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as the trip back. When you embark it may be nice and warm or cold and windy. That first night and into the first sea day is a little cool and windy normally, but tends to warm up by noon. The last day is usually horrific. Hopefully Carnival has finally decided to cover a pool on the last day so people can at least have some pool time. In the past the whole deck areas are pretty empty the last day as its very windy and cool. The bad part is it seems like Carnival doesn't have near as many activities on that last day (in the Mexican Riviera) as the other days, so sometimes the last day I have a hard time finding something fun to do. I'm hoping the Splendor does a better job with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted October 11, 2011 #711 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I've done the Splendor, Spirit, Elation and Paradise down & back. It is always cool and windy. A light jacket or hoodie should suffice. I was on the Splendor the last week of August, it was blazing and humid in Mexico chilly coming back. They did close the roof the last sea day. It was pretty humid inside with it closed, but better than being to cold to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2relax Posted October 12, 2011 #712 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Ditto for my Splendor cruise last summer. They closed the roof over the pool on the last sea day. It was crowded and noisy, but it was warm and toasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMcIB Posted October 18, 2011 #713 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have read on this site that Carnival has introduced a new MDR menu on a few of the ships. Does anyone know if the Splendor has adopted this new menu? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted October 18, 2011 #714 Share Posted October 18, 2011 We cruised the last week of August and they were using it. Our waiter said it was their 3rd week with the new menu. Just MHO, but I dont care for the new menu. I know some people love it but I just wasnt impressed with the new stuff and I can get the "homey" food, well, at home. I don't want meatloaf on a cruise in the MDR.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMcIB Posted October 18, 2011 #716 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I don't want meatloaf on a cruise in the MDR.:rolleyes: Thanks so much. I'm with you but then again DH is thinking he might try it. I myself am intrigued by the Spicy Alliggator Fritters. If we don't like them, we can just order something else :D. On our last cruise we didn't get to experience the MDR much and the last time we were with Carnival was 2002 so we are looking forward to this trip. DH doesn't know but I also booked us the Chef's Table (it's a surprise, unless he signs up for a CC account and reads this :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maumekim Posted October 18, 2011 #717 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I don't like other peoples meatloaf and definitely not restaurant meatloaf but I decided to try it on my last cruise and it was delicious!

Winterstale Posted October 18, 2011 #718 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think Chef's table was Wednesday night. Our first sea day (Oct 10) was absolutely GORGEOUS and quite warm -- however...that probably won't be the case in the winter months -- the last "at sea" day was sunny in the morning/early afternoon and cool but not freezing - it got gloomier and cooler as the day went on, which is typical. Also - if you get seasick at all, plan on medicating for that last day FOR SURE. You are beating against the tide all the back to Long Beach so the motion is a bit more pronounced.

DrivesLikeMario Posted October 20, 2011 #719 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I apologize if this has been answered before, but I've grown tired of reading page after page of info. (although it's great info!). Where is the laundry room on the Splendor and what are the costs? I cannot find it anywhere on my deck plan. Thanks so much!

maumekim Posted October 20, 2011 #720 Share Posted October 20, 2011 $3 wash and $3 dry. I believe there is a laundry on each floor. We were in cabin 7273 and it was about 8 cabins down from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdram Posted October 24, 2011 #724 Share Posted October 24, 2011 We just upgraded our room to a spa room for our Dec cruise on Splendor. Unfortunately, Upsell Fairy did not call :D...we just wanted to change our current reservation. Having only cruised Splendor one time and the only time for Carnival, I was wondering if anyone had a spa room before and can you provide some insights? Are the apa rooms in a pretty quiet area and have less traffic? Do the rooms have private access to the spa...meaning can I wear my rob and sliippers to the spa without being noticed by hundreds of people. I saw a picture of Thalassotherapy pool online but it seems like it is surrounded by fitness equipment. Although is has glass separating the pool and fitness area, is the pool area quiet? This is the first cruise we take that we do not have kids or relatives with us, and DH and I excited that we get to be by ourselves, relax and enjoy each other's company. Any feedback on the spa amenities and surrounding is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted October 29, 2011 Author #725 Share Posted October 29, 2011 We booked the Splendor 3 times and we were cancelled twice but this Sunday we will FINALLY get to board the Splendor! I'm soooo excited! Does anyone have any info for me? I don't even care what it is about, I just want to hear everything! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
