Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival Cruise Lines’ 113,300-ton Carnival Splendor, the line’s newest and largest ship, made its U.S. debut Nov. 14 when it arrived at Port Everglades following a 16-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Europe.
Carnival Splendor will kick off its Fort Lauderdale-based program with a series of three one-time voyages. Then, beginning Nov. 29, the ship will embark on a series of 10 seven-day Eastern Caribbean voyages to Casa de Campo/La Romana, Dominican Republic; St. Thomas/St. John, U.S.V.I.; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Nassau, The Bahamas.
Carnival Splendor offers a 21,000-square-foot spa, the largest in the fleet. The two-level health club includes a thalassotherapy pool, a thermal suite and 17 private treatment rooms. Surrounding the facility are 68 exclusive staterooms and suites, a first for the line.
Dining options include two two-level formal dining rooms, a 1,400-seat poolside eatery with a 24-hour pizzeria and a reservations-only supper club.
Carnival Splendor also has a 5,500-square-foot play area as part of the Camp Carnival program. Older kids can enjoy Circle C for 12- to 14-year-olds and Club O2, for ages 15-17, with programming and facilities for each age group.
Carnival Splendor also houses 1,503 staterooms, including hundreds of balcony cabins and several levels of suites.
All Carnival Splendor accommodations feature the Carnival Comfort Bed sleep system with plush mattresses, luxurious duvets and high-quality linens and pillows.
Carnival Splendor originally debuted in Europe in July, and following its Fort Lauderdale–based program, will operate 14- to 18-day South America cruises, a first for Carnival. The ship will then launch year-round seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises from Long Beach, Calif., beginning in March 2009.
