CARNIVAL SPLENDOR

She's big on size and big on FUN. Say hello to our newest and largest ship based in Sydney, Carnival Splendor. Whether you want to race down the Green Lightning Waterslide, relax at the Cloud 9 Spa™, or indulge your tastebuds in an array of cuisines, Carnival Splendor has all the ingredients needed to make a holiday you'll remember forever.

El Morocco Lounge hosts comedy shows, musical performances, karaoke and more… and wears its 1930s namesake clearly on its nameplate. The words “Royal Flush Casino” incite visions of winning, while our onboard jazz club — The Cool — simply says it all without saying a word. And Fahrenheit 555™ can be found not only at the height of elegant dining, but at the actual apex of the ship.

If you like your fun to flow, there are options aplenty. If you list “splishing” and “splashing” among your favourite things to do, there’s Carnival WaterWorks™. Those into sitting and sliding are invited to try the all-new Green Lightning thrill-slide. How about floating or swimming around? Carnival Splendor has pools all over the place, including the midship pool featuring a retractable roof that makes any day a pool day. So whether you splish or splash, you’ll find hydro-excitement galore.

If getting up and making the crowd go wild with your dance moves is your idea of a good time, Lip Sync Battle™: Carnival is our idea of a great idea. Or if relaxation is more your thing, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™ is more your place. Or if you’re looking to take relaxation to the extreme, direct your attention to the Cloud 9 Spa™, featuring more (and better) ways to kick back than just about anywhere else, on land or at sea. You haven’t lived until you’ve relaxed in a Thalassotherapy pool, or chilled — so to speak — in a dry heat chamber.

YOUR FIRST DAY

• Lunch will be served, on Lido Deck, (Deck 9), from start of boarding until the safety briefing (known as Muster).
• Luggage is loaded onboard throughout the day.
• Due to the quantity of luggage to be loaded it may take a few hours until your luggage is delivered so always bring essentials in your carry-on bag - including swimmers for the kids!
• The dress code in the dining room for embarkation day is 'come as you are'. Footwear must be worn at all times.

DINING

If you have any special dietary requirements and you haven't notified Carnival in advance, contact the Restaurant Hostess or maitre'd once boarded. They are located at the Empire Restaurant, from 2.30pm, Deck 2 aft. The dinner menu is usually displayed each day outside the Empire Restaurant and on your interactive TV. Showtime in the Empire Dining Room - don't miss this, the maitre'd and her staff do all they can to ensure you have fun. When the ship is in port, breakfast is available from both the Empire Dining Room and at Lido Restaurant. Lunch is only available from Lido. If you wish you can leave the ship after breakfast, return for lunch and then go ashore again. To avoid peak times at the buffet, have another round of mini-golf or enjoy that extra splash in the pool.
