Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Carnival Splendor Day 3: A Rollercoaster of Surprises, Laughs, and Letdowns

Day 3 on Carnival Splendor marks the final day of our 3-night cruise, and we’re wrapping things up with plenty of activities, reflections, and fun moments! From late-night comedy shows to exploring unique features like the build-a-bear workshop and ice sculpting, we packed a lot into our last full day onboard.

We share our impressions of Guy’s Burger Joint, try out Carnival’s pour-your-own beer stations, and participate in the 80s Rock and Glow night to end the cruise on a high note. Plus, we highlight special moments, including a wedding proposal during the Love and Marriage show, which gave us all the feels! Finally, disembarkation was a breeze, but we share some tips for making it even smoother.

Join us as we reflect on our experience aboard Carnival Splendor—the highs, lows, and unique features of this confusingly vibrant ship.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Is Carnival Splendor getting BETTER or WORSE? Day 2 Cruise Vlog

Welcome to Day 2 of our Carnival Splendor adventure! In this vlog, we dive into our experiences aboard this unique and quirky ship. From trying brunch at the Golden Pearl restaurant to navigating the windy mini-golf course on Deck 14, we’re giving you a glimpse into the highlights and challenges of the day.

We also had the opportunity to meet the captain and crew, explore the ship’s layout (spoiler: we found it quite confusing!), and enjoy drinks at the Alchemy Bar after an underwhelming dinner. Along the way, we share our candid thoughts on the decor, food, and overall design of Carnival Splendor.

Join us as we reflect on this eclectic ship—its highs, lows, and everything in between. Have you sailed on Carnival Splendor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! q

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Embarkation Day Carnival Splendor Cruise 3 nights from Sydney

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!
