Cabins 2470 and 2473 have 2 large windows for sure. Not exactly sure about 2474 or 2477. they will have a couch also.

Aida suggested one of these cabins to me when I upgraded from an inside to OV for my December back to backs but it wasn't available for both sailings so I passed on it. :cool:

Hi! Does anyone know if you're able to go in the aft hot tubs or pool at night, or any hot tubs at night, for that matter?

 

THANKS!!!

 

Laura

I don't remember what time they close, but yes they are open at night.

Just change the gal to girl and drop the 40!

Got it!

A pirate with a cause and a bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum!

Uh-oh. I think someone knows me from funville! lol :D

Gotta love ya Lizz! :D

:D A rebel with a cause.

 

It might depend on what time you get to the pier or what kind of mood they are in that day, so I wouldn't count on it.

I never count on it. The only time I have been checked was Splendor out of Long Beach and I wasn't bringing anything "extra" on board but my bottled water which still had the plastic wrap around it from the store got checked.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It's a crap shoot.;) GOOD LUCK and have a great cruise! :)

Not saying that I broke the rules or anything in March out of NYC but I had plenty of adult beverages for my 15-day cruise. ;)

2 on deck 10 near the aft which look like thay are indoors.

Yes, they are indoors. I was just looking to see if I have a picture from either of my Splendor cruises showing these hot tubs.

I stock up on the guava juice in the morning. Very good with rum and vodka.

Thanks everyone for the drink advice I'm a rum girl myself, so I'm thinking that mango-guava juice sounds like a safe bet, mmmmmm! I can't wait to get on the boat!!!!

Just a quick question...we will be sailing on the Splendor in Sept. When we have sailed on Norwegian from NY we were allowed to tape up soda and water with a luggage tag and send it off with our luggage with the porters, to be seen later by our cabin. Is this something we can do also with Carnival or do we have to carry it onto the ship?

Carnival requires that soda / water be carried on with you.

I'm tossing around the same idea. Would be a great B2B.

 

We are seriously thinking about doing the NY-SJ SJ-NY on the Splendor in Jan 2015 as a B2B. I don't think we'll do the wrap because the sea days will be winter days.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

Took me a while to figure out what the N D meant, but I got it.

Don't feel bad. It took me more than a minute when my friend told me where she was. :D

My friend was over the N D

If you see pictures of the starboard side or back of the ship we were right over the R in Splendor.

 

Me either but... ????

I cannot think of a reason why that would be.

That's weird. Maybe I should start checking rates using both VIFP's. :confused:

We found that my husbands VIFP number gave us a lower rate than mine. We both have cruised Carnival on the same prior cruises, but his discount was larger. Makes no sense, but whatever saves more

I don't know about any of the other sailings on the Splendor... but man the prices for December 3rd & December 11th are crazy cheap right now. I upgraded from inside cabin to OV for both my December 3rd & 11th cruises for less than what I originally booked my inside for. Sweet! :D

The cruise was fabulous. I loved every minute . . . didn't even mind the snow since I cruise from NY often, it was something different. I would definitely do a crossing again, although the canal day was HOT!!!!! We persevered and stayed out all day --- had a bar waiter bring us ice to melt on our foreheads and feet to keep us cool.

 

We were in the DVD of the trip on sail away and other times throughout the week.

Bill and I were in the dvd a couple of times during sail away and my friend Denise and I were in the dvd at the mixologist contest and maybe another time or two. You might recognize us from the pictures...

Bill sail away afternoon.

Me and Denise ~ mixologist contest (we laughed and smiled a LOT on this cruise)

Me, Denise and our new friend Carol second to last night on the cruise. Mr. Radu took our picture. Denise and Carol spent most nights in the piano bar.

Me and Bill first night MDR.

We had the best time on this cruise. Met up with a couple that I befriended on the Splendor last October, finally met Denise who I had been online friends with for a couple of years, befriended Carol, met another online friend Jack who was the winner of Mr. Radu's photo contest. The maître d Elvis was on the Splendor when I sailed her last October and we had chatted every night during that sailing so it was great fun to see him on the Miracle. So many great memories on Miracle and I made some new friends. I'll be sailing on the Splendor b2b in December and Denise and Carol will also be on those sailings. Fun times!

Were you in the ship dvd of the people having the snowball fight? :D

How'd you like the cruise? I absolutel loved it! That was my first time out of NYC but second time doing the Panama Canal transit. I'm hoping to do the Canal again when the Legend starts her journey towards the land down under in 2014.

we were on the same cruise. had a snowball fight on serenity aft . . . and some guys made a snowman!!!

You're welcome! Was definitely a different kind of sail away. What was funny was the day before when we left New Hampshire it was 11 degrees so 32-33 degrees was sweatshirt weather for us compared to all kinds of people in big winter jackets, hats, gloves... :D

Now, that's a cruise pic like I've never seen before. Thanks for posting it!

We sailed on the Miracle on 2/10 which was 2 days after NEMO. Fortunately that day the sun was shining but it was freezing cold and snow was all over the place...did the muster drill and the sun was shining on our faces and we were buffeted from the wind and it was so warm that I could have taken my coat off. Felt like summer time! One of the strangest Musters I have ever been thru! :p

This was the Miracle sail away from NYC in March when she began her trip to Sunny Southern California.

VN Bridge is the only bridge you sail under out of Manhattan. I think the posted time to sail is 4pm for most ships and they usually don't leave until at least 5pm. I can't imagine doing the Muster Drill in that weather but I'm sure they are all having a BLAST by now and hopefully when they wake up tomorrow they will be in nicer weather.

It was snowing in March when I sailed from NYC. At least people weren't sweating their asses off at safety drill! :D

Is that the Verrazano? They must have left earlier than usual because I always see the ship from the SI ferry coming into the bay around 5:30. It looks like at 5:18 they were already under the bridge.

I think that is the Verrazano. I was in touch with my friend during sail away and she said they left late but it sounds like leaving late from NYC is typical. :p

I watched one of my friends sail away on the Splendor this afternoon. Damn raindrops on the webcam.

Nice!

Actually, the morning shots tend to be better because the sun is at your back, as opposed to shooting into the sun. I find that shooting Lady Liberty during sailaway, you are better off waiting until you have sailed a little bit past her, then shoot in a NW direction.

 

Of course if it's cloudy, no problem!!!
