Although That Brings Me Back to the Orignal Question in This Article!!
It's not so much if the Splendor comes back or not, I
Need to know if there is a reason to sail it or not.
..if you read my original message =\ I'm looking for
help from folks who've sailed the Splendor before
not being there first cruise.
Thank you so much for the info though =)

It was confirmed by a Carnival spokesperson that the Splendor will return to New York for the summer 2015 season, although schedules for that time frame have not been released yet. Here's the article from Cruise Critic:
This makes me So happy =) thank you very very much for the info.!! :D

Thank you for the info!! We are planning on going in the summer so our friends with children have an easier time with babysitting. But as per this article here http://travelswithanthony.wordpress.com/2013/12/21/hey-big-splendor-carnival-bids-adios-to-new-york/
and other forums on this website, it doesn't seem to be coming back just as it never returned back to California.
Many people on this website have complained because if u booked with the Splendor out of nyc past nov 2014
your cruise has been cancelled and refunded.
I guess it makes sense now as to why the ship always looked empty I guess it hasn't been doing well at all here. I hope Carnival does come back to NYC !!

HEY GUYS!! Short and simple ....
If you're curious about the Breeze, book it. I've sailed different ships, and classes and it is well worth it.
You can check out my video on you tube =) I know a lot of
people here, post pictures but I believe the video truly
captures the feel you will get on the breeze. =D!!

never mind everyone, upon furhter investigation i had just gained official word that like californias reroute of the splendor to nyc the splendor is now rerouting perminately to miami! So looks like our wedding will have to wait another year cause we're going to miami, a little relieved though at least now i get to celebrate one of my biggest ddays on the breeze :d:d:d

Hello, I'm so sorry if this is kind of long, but every detail
counts, thank you soo much for reading I truly appreciate it!
My big day depends on it! =)
Only if you've sailed the Splendor OUT of NYC please help!
[ a little about me first]
I'm 26 years only cruised Carnival and love it! For most of my life I have vacationed the normal way but for the past
couple of years my fiancé and I have been going on Carnival Cruises once a year and we are absolutely obsessed! :D
(Best Vacation ever)!
[ I have sailed ]
The Facisnation once as a couple, The Imagination once as a couple, The Dream where we got engaged ! :-D and the
Carnival Breeze (this past May 5th 2013) with him myself, our toddler, and my in laws.
...
Cruising has been such a big part of our lives, such as first vacation together as boyfriend/girlfriend, A place where he
proposed to me, and lastly our sons first vacation ever and our first vacation as a family. So now we are planning on tieing the knot
(Getting Married) on a Carnival ship.
[HERE'S where I need you HELP PLEASE]
One of the most special days of my life (of course under the birth of my son) depends on it :) as a woman always dreams about her
wedding day! The wedding aspect is not what I'm really concerned about because I've heard nothing but amazing stories about how Carnival
throws a wedding BUT WHICH SHIP TO CHOOSE is where we are STUCK !! :( ... it allll comes down to Money.
... We are dead set on paying for our wedding parties cruises ( you know his best man, my maid of honor and our groomsmens/braidmaids
who are all couples so that comes out to 5 couples, and 10 people not including us..no changing our minds there.)
Okay now that, that is out of the way here is the concern. WEEEE GOT SOOO SPOILED a few months ago, because we sailed Carnivals
newest, biggest, most fun and glorious ship (THE BREEZE) OMG AMAZING, HUGE, ENTERTAINING and where I want to throw my wedding
(Embarkation day/port of miami) then sail out rocking out with all of our friends (no kids no other family just fun in the sun in our 20's with our
friends enjoying our wedding vacation). BUTTT We are already paying for our wedding parties cruises and excursions (most of our wedding
party are extremely tight on budgets, it's hard out there and we completely understand as we were just in that boat ourselves). We all live NYC!
The breeze only leaves from the port of Miami and the last time we went we've flown the 3 hrs down to Florida as usual. But no one in our wedding
party would be able to make it to the cruise if we did the Breeze =(, because the wedding starts at 10am meaning we all have to be on the ship
dressed and ready to go by 10am everyone in the wedding party, there is no way anyone is risking or even can fly in that day.
So ontop of having to purchase round trip tickets to miami, everyone would have to spend money on hotel rooms, plus we are only paying
for their tickets and few excursions but they'd have to save up for clothes, drinks, and various other vacation expenses and hardly anyone in
our wedding party can do that. Therefore if we were to do the Breeze we'd have to also pay for flights and/or hotel stays for 10 people and
that just can't happen unless we push back the wedding for another yr or so. THEREFORE we said which Carnival ship leaves out of NYC
(something we never even looked into for many reasons). Low and behold ONLY the Splendor leaves out of NYC. That seemed to be fine,
it is not like any ship in the Dream class but it's right below the dream class in a class all of it's own. BUTTTT I am getting extremely sad
because unlike ANY cruise we've EVER gone on I can't find one good thing (besides it's size) out there about it. As I said I'm 26, it will be
my wedding I want the old Carnival family fun party happy caribbean atmosphere and I just can't find anything out there like that about
the Splendor. As I said before we plan a cruise once a year, and for about 6 months prior to boarding we get so excited, surf cruise critic,
learn deck plans, spend countless hours on youtube checking out ship tours, deck parties and get extremely excited. YET I have been spending
hours online looking up anything Splendor (especially you tube) and I'm finding NOTHING! If I do find a good review, or "I've had an amazing
time" youtube video it's either from teens, first time cruisers, or older people who are with children. I have heard that splendor is the only carnival
ship that doesn't do a welcome aboard party either which is disappointing. I can't find any deck party footage on youtube and if I do it's from
years ago when the splendor used to be in California, or it is an old timers cruise (no offense at all I love everyone but never have I seen such
a dead atmosphere in cruise footage ). Even the very small short cruise ships such as the Imagination had amazing entertainment. But everyone
in the Splendor videos seems to be sitting down even during deck party nights, the music seems to be geared towards an older generation,
The "fun crew" doesn't seem into it which leads to a dead crowd, and in everyones splendor vacation video they mostly focus on island time
and the time they are filming on the ship you just see people walking around aimlessly. I TRULY TRULY hope that there is just lack video out
there because it's really bumming me out. Being from NYC besides not being able to fly everyone out to The Breeze (or any ship) in Miami,
my fiancé also made a point that we could have a bigger wedding as our family who isn't cruising could board the ship to watch us say I do right here in NYC.
I am a cruiser, I absolutely agree that to each is own, and yes I too am one to say that a cruise is what you make of it and I am really trying
not to be a negative nancy here. But as a full time mommy, and bride to be, and Breeze traveler, I just want this wedding cruise to be about
Liveliness, and fun times. So please tell me what that ship truly is about..[/font]
Just do it! =) sail Carnival Breeze
