Casshew Posted July 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am booked on the Splendor and was looking forward to seeing her, I was shocked to see her in the pics that were recently posted. Other posters are posting how beautiful she is after seeing the pics and I am thinking wow, that is one ugly ship (inside). :eek: Her pool area with the hanging flowers looks really nice and also the cabins look good, and the exterior fine, but all the dining room/bars and public areas look :eek: horrible. Maybe she is not as bad in person as in the pics? the colours (purple/orange and the big circles everywhere) So am I totally crazy or is anyone else seeing what I am? I am seriously considering switching to RCCL (which I have never tried either) based on the photos I saw of Splendor. Maybe I have no taste? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Anne Posted July 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Cashew ~ I moved your thread to the correct board :) . I'm sailing on Splendor next year and really looking forward to it.

I think it's best to wait until you see her in person before getting to concerned! ENJOY! I'm sailing on the Splendor in November and again in April of '09. I think she looks lovely. I'll be uploading hundreds of pictures after my cruise in November... Perhaps a different perspective will change your mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew B Posted July 12, 2008 #14 Share Posted July 12, 2008 The sports bar looks unspeakably ugly. Other than that, it's definitely Carnival, but I don't think it's bad at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casshew Posted July 12, 2008 Author #15 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I will wait for more pics and trip reports, I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting... was like Liberace threw up all over it lol Sorry for posting on the Celebrity board by mistake - I was mesmorized by the pics of the Splendor.

imlulu Posted July 12, 2008 #16 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am Carnival fan. However when I saw the pics of the ship, I thought" This is it???? It looks like every other Carnival ship." It all looked very pink to me. I am really tired of pink. On the Victory it is green everywhere. However in cabins pink is number 1. I think Carnival owns stock in some shades of pink company.;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its brand new it still has that "old carnival look" however Id still sail on her :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casshew Posted July 12, 2008 Author #18 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I booked her months and months ago, where there were no real pics. I have a Spa Suite. Ive been waiting all this time for pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its brand new it still has that "old carnival look" however Id still sail on her :) Exactly my thoughts . . . I was hoping for the cabins to be something brand new and DIFFERENT. The cabins aren't unpleasant, I just expected with a new class ship and everything they would be DIFFERENT. :( As for the rest of the ship . . . well, if you don't like Farcus, you probably will be disappointed. I, for one, can't get all those vases/cannisters/human ash containers out of my mind from the LEGEND, but then . . . that's Farcus . . . love him or leave him. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinthesea123 Posted July 12, 2008 #20 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I booked her months and months ago, where there were no real pics. I have a Spa Suite. Ive been waiting all this time for pics. Check for pics/small review of the spa cabins here OP: Yes, the pink is everywhere. As a guy it would not be my first choice. Probably not as a girl either. But you definitely get used to it and it grows a little on you. \ There was not really any orange as you mentioned. All of the lights in the atrium/promenade change colors so a different shade of color is cast every few seconds..it is really pretty nice. The Spectacular Spectacular really does look good in purple even though the pictures make it look now...it is nt as deep of a purple as it looks. Stay on the Splendor, she really is a great ship!

dos equis Posted July 12, 2008 #24 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think it would be amazing sailing on a ship when you know everything is BRAND NEW. It looked wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted July 12, 2008 #25 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think you just have to take it as a given that any Carnival ships interior is at some point going to make you say "huh?" Now some ships are worse than others, but they all get a little sideways sometimes. I personally think that Farcus packs a hookah with him when he goes out to practice his....."art"......:rolleyes: In any case, I am certainly not going to avoid a ship just because it's interior is ugly, if I did, I couldn't go on most of Carnivals ships! I mean come on, have you seen the Sensation-al Purple People Eater?!?!? I wish Spendor was coming to FL. I would gladly sail on her, the changes they have done to her upper decks put her above and beyond all of the Conquest class ships in my opinion. I can deal with the Pepto Bismol explosion going on inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
