It’s embarkation day on *Carnival Splendor*, and we’re sharing our honest first impressions and experiences as first-time cruisers on this unique ship. From a chaotic start flying from Brisbane to Sydney on the morning of the cruise (a mistake we won’t make again!) to exploring the ship’s layout, entertainment options, and dining, we’ve got a lot to cover.

We talk about the *Faster to the Fun* pass and how it enhanced our embarkation experience, share thoughts on the Carnival Hub app, and dive into the ship’s extensive entertainment offerings. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing—navigating the ship proved challenging, the decor felt dark and uninviting, and dinner service left us underwhelmed.

Join us as we reflect on a day full of highs, lows, and learning curves. Let us know in the comments if you’ve experienced similar challenges on *Carnival Splendor* or other Carnival ships!
