Splendor 8 Day Eastern Caribbean Review

[jam19872016]

Lots of nice seating areas throughout the atrium.

 

 

 

My favorite outside spot, a very quiet deck just outside the main atrium area. Best place to sit if you have to wait to be seated for YTD. Camera got a little foggy leaving the nice AC for the Caribbean sun.

 

 

Another outside area just outside the atrium on the other side, this side is for smoking.

 

 

Guest Services.

 

[jam19872016]

The Black Pearl Restaurant. Lower level is for YTD.

 

 

 

You cannot walk from one end of Deck 3 to the other, you must go up a flight of stairs and back down to do so. A typical stair/elevator lobby. Learn to love pink.

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

At the far end of Decks 3-4 is the White Pearl, the other MDR. This one is used for Breakfast, Brunch, and assigned dining. The fire doors were closed so I did not take a picture. I meant to come back later and get some pictures, but it slipped my mind.

 

Up on deck 4, looking forward from the dining room, is the Robusto Bar. This is an out of the way quiet place to sit since not many people find it.

 

 

 

 

The Board Room. This is a conference room and was being used for crew training seminars while I was touring.

 

 

If you find yourself unsure how to get around, these are located at all the elevator banks.

 

 

Upper level of the Black Pearl MDR. Used for assigned dining.

 

[jam19872016]

Circle C, kids club for 12-14 year olds.

 

 

Photo gallery. These walls are filled with all the pictures the ships photographers take.

 

 

The Alexandria Library. It was full of people so couldn't get any inside shots.

 

 

The next two are the two upper levels of the theater.

 

 

 

Leaving the theater on Deck 5 continuing aft we head towards the fun shops.

 

[jam19872016]

The hours they are open.

 

 

Looking down.

 

 

Our House Sports Bar.

 

 

More seating, but beware they are not comfortable at all.

 

 

Looking up.

 

[Pugs&Kisses]

Thank you so much. I love these so much.

[jam19872016]

Royal Flush Casino. Sigh.

 

 

 

 

 

Shopping expert desk.

 

 

Promenade.

 

[jam19872016]

Casino Bar.

 

 

Cashier's desk.

 

 

Future Cruise Desk. This seemed to be business as usual, perhaps these are going away as their contracts run out?

 

 

Internet hub.

 

 

Coffee shop.

 

 

Club O2. The teen club.

 

[jam19872016]

When the promenade is crowded, I like to use these stairs and use Deck 4 to get where I need to go. By crowded I mean, photographers taking up too much space.

 

 

The Taste Bar. They offer small samples of food here 3-4 times a week during the evening hours.

 

 

Video Arcade.

 

 

[jam19872016]

Red Carpet Night Club.

 

 

 

 

El Mojito. This place was dead. I'm not sure why this wasn't converted to Alchemy. I understand why she didn't get most of the 2.0 upgrades, but why not a revenue generator? I even heard someone call this place Alchemy on board lol.

 

 

Interesting looking couch.

 

 

Continuing aft.

 

[jam19872016]

Piano Bar.

 

 

Cool Lounge. This is where trivia was held.

 

 

 

 

El Morrocco Lounge. The comedy club.

 

 

[jam19872016]

The hand rail on the stairs leading up to Deck 6 was broken. It is obvious from this angle, but coming up the stairs there did not seem to be a problem. Hope everyone was paying better attention than me.

 

 

Decks 6-8 are all guest staterooms.

 

 

 

 

Deck 9, Lido Deck starting at the aft. This pool is adults only again, and I never saw any kids hanging out here.

 

 

The Deli and the Liner Bar

 

[jam19872016]

Tandoor. Indian food.

 

 

Walking back in, you turn to the left or the right to enter the buffet area.

 

 

The buffet.

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

They have another buffet located a little farther forward. When it is open it is usually the same thing located at the other buffet. Mongolian Wok on the right.

 

 

Soft serve ice cream is located in several locations throughout lido.

 

 

Outside located by the pools is the Pizza Pirate.

 

 

On the oppisite end is Off The Grill.

 

 

The Lido pool.

 

 

Kanye on the big screen.

 

[jam19872016]

Lido looking aft.

 

 

Lido bar. Their is another one on the opposite side, it is identical but this one was closed so I took a picture of it - less people.

 

 

Walking inside, be prepared to pass someone trying to sell you something anytime you walk through here during the day.

 

 

 

At the front of this deck, is more staterooms, including mine.

 

[jam19872016]

My mom loved the paintings on the walls by the rooms.

 

 

 

Moving up to Deck 10, more staterooms all the way forward.

 

 

If you go all the way to the front, you will see doors and a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

 

Outside them is the "secret deck". The views are are excellent and it is very quiet because not a lot of people know about it.

 

 

Back inside, looking down from deck 10.

 

[jam19872016]

Normally you could walk outside through this hall, but my path was blocked today.

 

 

They were doing some deck washing out there, don't they know I had a tour to do? Sheesh.

 

Outside the decks above Lido are covered.

 

 

 

Hot tubs up here, one on each side.

 

 

 

Ping pong tables.

 

[jam19872016]

Giant game of chess.

 

 

Plenty of extra seating if you don't need to be right by the action.

 

 

Ole Fashioned BBQ. Very quiet and yummy.

 

 

 

Use the stairs from Lido buffet for quick access.

 

[jam19872016]

Smoking area on 10 Starboard.

 

 

 

Up to Deck 11.

 

 

The Pinnacle Steakhouse.

 

 

 

 

I always say I want to eat here and so far have only made it once, my first time on Splendor.

[jam19872016]

More of Deck 11.

 

 

Splash Park. I have still never seen anyone in here, guess nobody can find it.

 

 

Bottom of the slide and another pool.

 

 

Looking the other direction.

 

 

The Spa cabins.

 

 

Entrance to the Spa.

 

[jam19872016]

Deck 12 all the way forward is the Serenity area.

 

 

 

Slide entrance.

 

[jam19872016]

At the back of this Deck is the jogging track.

 

 

And the basketball court.

 

 

No Deck 13, because superstition. Up on Deck 14 is Mini Golf.

 

 

 

And that brings us to the end of the ship tour of Carnival Splendor.

[jam19872016]

Thank you so much. I love these so much.

 

You're very welcome. Glad to do it.:D
