Silverman Posted March 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looking at March 2015. Both of these ships have the same itin. Same price. Would they both Cruise to the same place? Could this be a mistake? Which ship would you choose? Thanks in advance for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted March 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Conquest has Playlist Productions, Splendor does not. I would absolutely choose Splendor based on that alone. But for someone who doesn't care about good shows & would prefer a slightly upgraded burger, Conquest would be the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted March 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) We've sailed both. Conquest has Guy's Burgers. Splendor has the Tandoor. Prefer the Tandoor over Guys. Also the Splendor is wider than the Conquest, more seating in the buffet. But we liked Conquest's Lido deck better than the Splendor's.

champagne123 Posted March 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Splendor has the retractable roof, so if you have rain or bad weather, the roof closes ....and the pool/lido deck is still open.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted March 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Splendor has the retractable roof, so if you have rain or bad weather, the roof closes ....and the pool/lido deck is still open.:) The aft pool on Conquest has a retractable roof as well.

klaner64 Posted March 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have sailed on Splendor. I did not like the decor, but otherwise it was ok. We are going to sail on Conquest because it has Guy's Burgers and Blue Iguana Tequila Bar. It is totally your preference. Check out the differences on Carnival's website.

Linerguy Posted March 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Been on both...SPLENDOR, hands down. She doesn't have that ridiculous tiered, auditorium-style sunning area, and her stern area is nice and open (i.e. it doesn't have the retractable dome on her stern). She also has an additional deck between the mid-ship pool and the top deck....it's sort of like a balcony that looks out at the midships pool. This helps to thin out crowds by the pizza place, lido buffet and grill. True, she doesn't have a Guy's, or Blue Iguana, but, for me, that doesn't outweigh the positives.

cdamion Posted March 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The aft pool on Conquest has a retractable roof as well. Much nicer with the main pool deck covered - more people can fit in the area - and what is it, 3 decks high? We had bad weather so it was nice to have such a large area covered and still see the screen and deck party, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdamion Posted March 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Oh, and for OP: Splendor is a very nice ship. I was very pleasantly surprised. She may be my favorite in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftastic Posted March 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I would pick the Splendor. Once you get over the smell of SPAM and poop marinating in plastic bags, it is quite the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitamin_Sea Posted March 13, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We sailed the Splendor 1/28 and LOVED the ship. Loved the Red Carpet lounge and punchliner comedy! In fact we booked her again for July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
