[jam19872016]

Looking down.

 

 

Looking up.

 

 

Our House Sports Bar.

 

 

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

 

[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.

 

 

Interesting looking couch.

 

 

Continuing aft.

 

[jam19872016]

Piano Bar.

 

 

Cool Lounge. This is where trivia and karaoke were held.

 

 

 

 

El Morocco Lounge. The comedy club. This is also where the premier party is held.

 

 

 

I'll be back tomorrow to finish up the tour with the top decks.

Wow these are amazing. Cant wait to show my daughter tomorrow. I am so excited now!!!!! All four of us are going. Really appreciate the time you are taking to do this ...thank you:)

[Silent Penguin]

Enjoying the review, especially from a gambler's perspective since it's not something we do on the ship but like to go to the casinos while we're on vacation in New Jersey.

[Johnny60]

We are on deck 7 Empress deck. Looking forward to see if you have any pics there.

 

We like a little flutter in the casino too. Great to see the pics.

[Clarea]

Enjoying the excellent photos!

We are on the Splendor in Dec - thanks for your review! Still will be waiting out our final itinerary for awhile, I think :/

I was under the impression they didn't have a Cherry on Top. Did they have a small candy area inside one of the other shops where you guys found your sour candy? (My DH and kids are big fans!)

You're very welcome. I enjoy doing it. Hope I have gotten you ready for all that pink lol.

I have never gambled at a land based casino, except in Nassau. I would imagine I would get a better payout on land but I just love cruising so much. You are smart to stay out of Carnival's casino that is for sure lol.

[jam19872016]

We are on deck 7 Empress deck. Looking forward to see if you have any pics there.

 

We like a little flutter in the casino too. Great to see the pics.

 

I do. Sorta. I took a pic down the hallway like I did on the first two decks. Not much to see, but you can say hey that is the hallway I will be staying on! :D

 

Enjoying the excellent photos!

 

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them :D

Not to start a debate between how cruise lines are handling these things, but I have a cruise on NCL the end of March. I received an updated itinerary in my email last week. Then again, there are complaints that they are making changes too far out. Guess it is a lose lose situation for the cruise lines.

 

They don't have a Cherry on Top exactly. They have a very small shop located just outside the casino. I believe it is called "Formalities" but it is the same product just with a different branding and a smaller store so likely a smaller variety of candies than Cherry on Top. The bags do say Cherry on Top, likely for brand familiarity without having to invest in changing the storefront singing.

Continuing with the tour.

 

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

 

 

Tandoor. Indian food.

 

[jam19872016]

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

 

 

The buffet.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

[jam19872016]

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.

 

 

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.

 

[jam19872016]

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.

 

 

Paintings on the walls by the rooms.

 

 

 

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

 

[jam19872016]

If you go all the way to the front of Deck 10, 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.

 

 

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.

 

 

[jam19872016]

The hot tubs are up here, one on each side.

 

 

 

Ping pong tables.

 

 

Giant game of chess.

 

 

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

 

[jam19872016]

Ol' Fashioned BBQ. Very quiet and yummy.

 

 

Use the stairs from Lido buffet for quick access.

 

 

Smoking area on 10 Starboard.

 

 

 

Up to Deck 11.

 

[jam19872016]

The Pinnacle Steakhouse.

 

 

 

 

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

 

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.

 

[jam19872016]

Looking the other direction.

 

 

The Spa cabins.

 

 

Entrance to the Spa.

 

 

Deck 12 all the way forward is the Serenety 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 concludes the tour of the Carnival Splendor.
