MsSoCalCruiser Posted October 27, 2010 Author #551 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi everyone....I posted this on another thread but no answer yet so I thought I would try here. Splendor Inside Obstructed View Rooms. Hello, my friends (father and son) have an inside room and are now wishing that they booked something else. I saw the following two rooms are available but we have no idea what this type of room is like. Has anyone stayed in room 6205 or 6206. If so, did you like your room? Would you stay there again? Carnival's website states that the view is obstructed. Are the windows large or small? Do you get very much light? Do you have any type of view at all? I'm sorry for all of the questions. I hope someone can help us soon. Also pictures would be great if anyone has any. Thanks so much! Oh, I forgot, I was asked if I would trade my balcony room for their inside room....not. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted October 28, 2010 Author #552 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I just read John Heald's blog from yesterday. John will be leaving the Splendor a week early and he won't be the CD when I am on the Splendor. What a bummer....I was so excited. :( But I do wish him and his wife a very Happy Anniversary.

Looks like these two cabins are oversize and may be a great deal that they are considered interior cabins with windows. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunyb33 Posted October 28, 2010 #554 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi everyone, Just wondered if anyone knows much about the spa/sauna facilities on Splendor?? Is there a sauna & steam room? Is there additional charge to use these?? Have been on RCCL where these are always free but as Carnival has the Spa Deck area and hydro pools etc etc just wondered whether the "sauna" area is separate. Thanks for any info!!

realmccoy Posted October 29, 2010 #555 Share Posted October 29, 2010 The amenities in the Spa are extra $$ (steam rooms, sauna, etc.). However, I believe there is a sauna in the gym that you can use for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggw Posted October 29, 2010 #556 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks for all the tips, ideas, suggestions and just tons of info! Wife and I just got back last week from Caribbean NCL Pearl and had a great time. Whole family (4 kids) will be going on the Splendor Jan 16. We will be in rooms 2220 and 2218. 2220 was priced at inside but had an obstructed porthole so should be interesting to see what it's like.

Shaun Hi Shaun, We just got back from our 10/17 cruise on the Splendor and absolutely loved it! We got the couples spa package for the week. We loved it and used it everyday. It included the Thassotherapy pool. 2 steam rooms, heated tile beds and chairs. You got a card to let us in the room. I think there is a steam room in the gym but not 100% sure. They gym is free. If you don't want to buy the package for the week, you can buy day passes. We really enjoyed. I hope you have a great cruise!! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been on a cruise....wifey was on one in 1989 as a teenager. How does one find out who the CD is going to be for their cruise?

shaunyb33 Posted October 31, 2010 #566 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi Karen, Thanks for that info...do you remember how much the week and day passes were?? We are just over a month away until our cruise!! Cant wait!! Shaun Hi Shaun,We just got back from our 10/17 cruise on the Splendor and absolutely loved it!

I have never been on a cruise....wifey was on one in 1989 as a teenager. How does one find out who the CD is going to be for their cruise? Tom Go on John Heald's Blog (link is on Carnival web site). I think the link is on the left hand side of the page. John had posted on his blog that he will be leaving the Splendor early but the CD schedule still shows that he will be on the Splendor during my cruise. I'm sure that John will update his CD schedule when he finds the time. John is a very busy man who somehow finds the time to do nice things for total strangers. We need more people like John in the world. I really was looking forward to having him as CD. It looks like you picked a great ship for your first cruise. I can't wait to hear about your cruise when you return. In a few weeks, I will be on the Splendor for the first time. I promise to take great care of her for you!

Please take and post lots of pictures! I am really excited about going on my first cruise...I think I am driving Wifey nuts with all the research and reading I am doing but I am having fun!

kshees Posted November 1, 2010 #570 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi Karen, Thanks for that info...do you remember how much the week and day passes were?? We are just over a month away until our cruise!! Cant wait!! Shaun We purchased the pass on the first day. We went to the "Spa Talk", and when you did that and buy it that day, we supposedly saved 100.00 and so we got the pass for the week for the 2 of us for 248.00. I will look for my Capers and see if the Day pass prices are in there. I don't remember what they were. I know that they were cheaper on port days. Let me know if you have any other questions!!

MsSoCalCruiser Posted November 1, 2010 Author #571 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Although I've seen the SPLENDOR many times in port, I've never watched sailaway. I might do that also this Sunday. The Queen Mary, berthed next to the her has a great brunch as well.:) If you see somebody on the bow side of the embarkation dome, standing there taking pictures with tears running down his face, its me. :D Guess where I went today? First we went to the Reef for brunch....Dislike. Next it was off to the Splendor! The port was PACKED with people waiting to board. I was so excited. We were trying to find our balcony room by counting the balconies. I think we found the general area. I wanted to board the ship so bad but I couldn't so I just stood there with tears running down my face.....no wait, that was you. :) The Splendor is a BEAUTIFUL ship. I didn't get to stay for sail away because my friends were ready to leave. My friends made me leave and it was at this point that I had tears running down my face. :( I'm so ready for my cruise. Is it December yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunyb33 Posted November 1, 2010 #574 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi all, Does anyone know if there are any car rental companys (doesnt have to be a big company) that would be within walking distance of the cruise terminal?? We're looking at picking up a car for the few days we are in LA before we fly home. Not being a local, wasnt sure of the locations etc. Thanks in advance for any info!!

NavarreCruiser Posted November 1, 2010 #575 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I think your cruise will be his last cruise on the Splendor. Lucky you!! John said on his blog that he is getting off the Splendor Nov. 28th. I think you will just miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
