Carnival's Splendor of the Seas Inaugural

I just got off of the 2-night cruise to no where on the Carnival Splendor Inaugural. It was so much fun and an amazing ship!! This was my first time on Carnival and I was pleasantly surprised. The balcony cabin was large, and very nice. The entertainment was AWESOME (my karaoke not included.) The food was excellent.

This ship will sail the Mexican Riviera out of the Long Beach California pier. My flight was only $119 from Salt Lake on Jetblue, and the pier was 10 minutes from the Long Beach airport. (Taxi: $11 p/p taxi ride each way)

Here are some of my favorite pics...

Lido Deck Pool and Big Screen Area

Balcony Cabin

Back deck pool

Water slide near Lido Deck

The ship has mini golf.
Plus, Elite Golf with private instructors.

Camp Carnival for kids 2-17
The kids areas were some of the best I've seen.
This was the dance floor for the 6-8 yr olds.
Even better was the club for the 13-15 yr olds.

Little Kid Pool Area

Dinner was fabulous each night,
and the dinner entertainment was awesome!

Even more to do at night...
Casino
Karaoke
Dance Club
Piano Bar
Plus, 4am Pizza

SO MUCH FUN!!!

Castaway Cay, Disney's Private Island

Disney owns its own private island in the Bahamas called Castaway Cay. The cruise ship is able to pull right up along the dock. Other cruise lines require smaller boats to take passengers to their own island. Plus, those other ships don't have Disney Cast Members throughout the island like Donald Duck. The island has a great beach, and all of the island activities you can think of. (jet skis, paddle boats, snorkel gear, kayaks, and glass bottom boat rides) You will also find a family beach and an 'adults only' beach. The kids club is located on the island, so parents can continue to enjoy the cruise childless if they so wish.

Disney's Mt. Rushmore

Disney's own Black Pearl

One of the three restaurants is called Animator's Palate
This restaurant goes from black and white to full color throughout the meal.
Cost to Disney was 3 million dollars.
Even the waiters change colors.

My little guy took this shot.

It looks fake, but it was a real sunset on the deck of the ship.

And its back to Disney World

We headed to the Beach Club Resort while we visited Epcot and Hollywood Studios Theme Parks. Check back soon...
