I will miss reading your review and reliving an amazing cruise we shared with you three :(

---Bucket o'beers! We have already had a shot of bacardi 151 to start with.. lol

Yeah, and it wasn't even 10am yet! Start of a long awesome day!!!!

Thanks! We are super excited to be able to have warm weather when leaving and returning to New York! We froze our butts off last November during Thanksgiving week, staying out on our balcony until we passed the Verrazano! This time I can look at it from a lounge chair on the top deck, in my bathing suit and a frozen drink in my hand! LOL!

 

Thanks for the info guys about the smoking spots. I booked deck 10 spa and thought that once I come out through the doors to overlook the pool it would be outside (I'm used to Carnival ships like that ... Liberty, Victory) and was surprised after I booked it that deck 10, behind the jumbo screen, overlooking the pool, is covered! maybe I can just walk up to deck 11 (it's open air, right?) instead of going all the way aft or to the secret deck forward with the high winds!

For ease from your location you can:

1) Walk to the front of the ship from deck 10 and go out the forward doors to the open decks there. Now the only problem here is there are no butt cans to drop your cigarette in. But this is a great little secret place that most don't know about. Great spot to watch coming into a port from

2) Walk toward the upper lido deck, still on deck 10. When you get to the doors to walk onto the upper lido deck there are stairs to take you right to the open air deck on 11

3) Instead of going up to deck 11 from #2 continue to the upper lido deck and walk across it to the back doors and go out to the open deck 10

Absolutely LOVING your review:D:D:D

We are just a hop, skip, and a jump away, in CT.

I just cannot bring myself to get past the "pinkness" of Splendor:o

Eventually, I would LOVE to cruise out of NY Harbor......

Keep it coming!!!!:D

Honestly, having been on the Splendor with the reviewer for 8 days, noticing the color was not something I paid any attention to. It is there sure, but I didn't even notice it, and really asked my wife after the cruise why it would bother people at all! Just enjoy the ship, what difference would it have made if it was blue or some other color?

you can also go all the way Fwd on 10 through the Spa Cabins and there is a door that leads out on each side to a small deck up front.

Correct, but be ready for the wind up front!

yes everything has went thru its my bank card so I know it has

Now go through the bank. Have them generate the report showing payments made to Carnival to prove the original amount had been paid in full.
