CARNIVAL SPLENDOR
She's big on size and big on FUN. Say hello to the 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.
