I have scans of the Fun Times and the Shopping Guides for Nassau and Freeport. I tried to post them but the file size is too large. They are pdf files. Any suggestions of how to get them online for viewing?

Any chance you'd email them to me - We're cruising for the first time on the Splendor and would love to see them.

Thank you!

We just got off the Splendor too. Traveled with two teens ourselves (who I know were not part of the ice cream throwing). The teens were pretty rude on this ship, and after hearing some talk from the parents, I understand why - one woman was bragging that her 15 year old son had already "got with 5 girls!" another was complaining about her 15 year old son smoking again, another was bragging how she left her husband home and had a young (above 21) man in her bed! The teens would go in the adult only hot tub then fight with security when being kicked out. My girls went to O2 the first night, had "tons of friends" but by day 2 had narrowed it down to about 2-3 each, saying most of the girls were snotty and slutty.

 

We sat in the Gold Pearl Restaurant, and found the service ok. Our first waitress disappeared after the first two nights (she honestly wasn't the greatest), but the second we got did a good job. Was not that impressed with the shows - watched some but not all.

 

The last night the people in the cabin next to ours were fighting so loud that my daughters called me at 2 am (they were in their own room across the hall), complaining about the noise keeping them awake, and it sounded like they were beating up on their kid (19, from what they kept yelling, along with quite a bit of profanity). Called security but no one ever bothered coming.

 

Be sure to watch your sail and sign charges also. There was an $18 charge (not huge, but not ours), for jewelry at the shops on my daughters card. She did not make this purchase, the receipt showed the card number keyed in, not swiped (you can get reprints from guest services), and when I went to the shops, they could not find a signed copy of the receipt anywhere. We did get a refund, but it took us almost an hour between guest services, going to the shops, waiting for the worker to look through receipts, etc. Would have been easier to just pay the extra since it wasn't a huge amount, but it was the principal of the whole matter. We didn't make the charge, so don't try to get more money out of us. :)

 

All in all we had a good time, I got my relaxation time which I desperately needed, got out of the cold and snow for a week, and didn't have to cook or do dishes! :) Would I sail again? Absolutely if the price was right, and worked with our schedules. Probably would not risk going in the winter again though, the cold and snow and rough seas at the beginning put a damper on my finding a place outside to sit and read and soak up some Vitamin D.

Dawn,

I was glad to see your first posted pic on FB and glad the weather hadn't interfered with your launch.

I've been watching for your reviews! We sail in Oct. and although this is not my first Carnival Cruise, it is my first Splendor cruise. Looking forward to seeing more pics.
