reggierail Posted February 14, 2011 #4076 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks Reggierail for posting the Splendor pre sail party, it is reassuring to know that Carnival is positive she will be ready to sail on 2/20. I bet that cruise will have the best service ever, I am not sailing til March 20th. Glad to be of assistance. :) I'm confirmed for the 19th. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlendedFamily Posted February 15, 2011 #4077 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I visited her today down at pier 35... what a grand site. She's all set to go. They are just taking on more stores and going through some more on-board "drills" with the crew. Someone asked John Heald what they will do during the sea trials... basically he said they test the boat's ability to do an emergency stop, and they try to make her LIST to one side or the other. He said it's a time to "tape the drawers shut." But they've already passed all the Coast Guard tests in and out. She's taking off Wednesday morning and heading to long beach.

kath00 Posted February 21, 2011 #4080 Share Posted February 21, 2011 We just got off the Splendor today (travel agent night last night) and had a WONDERFUL time. The ship looks absolutely brand new. The crew was soooo enthused to be back (although I did sense a little bit of nerves this morning when we disembarked and all the passengers kept saying "good luck" to the staff. :o Last night Carnival exceeded my expectations with wonderful entertainment, a superb dinner (best lobster I have had on a ship ever, period!), open bars throughout the ship, lovely and attentive staff and very humbled but enthusiastic suits from Carnival HQ. I really thought the whole night was tasteful in that it wasn't a sales pitch "please sail Carnival again" but rather a let this ship show you what she has sort of eve. DH and I had a blast and have restored faith in this gorgeous ship. I have lots of pix to upload when we get back home. Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANCING GRANDMOMMY Posted February 21, 2011 #4081 Share Posted February 21, 2011 We will be looking forward to seeing all the new pic. And I am even more excited if they have some new shows since I was on in April and will be on again in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 39 more days until we sail away... If it is, then the guests sure didn't know it. :eek: Can anyone tell me which side of the ship is nonsmoking? I thought I read somewhere that the Port side is/or is not?? Thanks! Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavners5 Posted February 23, 2011 #4094 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We are aft 6A rooms 1416 & 1418. I guess their is a door between the two rooms my PVP said. It shows it on the deck plan. I guess there are very few of these. We have five in our family. 3in1, 2 in the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyscanr Posted February 23, 2011 #4095 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well if you are using a windows machine you can use movie maker to compress the file and maybe trim it a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
