Simply Splendid!

I arrived home safely yesterday afternoon after an excellent 2 day adventure on the Carnival Splendor. The ship was awesome, and it would have been very easy to spend a lot more time on it than we did. The food was great (I think I'm turning into a "foodie" because I took a LOT of pictures of all of the yummy stuff they served) the weather was beautiful, the spa was glorious, the free alcohol was delightful, the decor of the ship was, um, interesting (they said the theme of the ship is "All things Splendid") and all it all it was a fantastic couple of days.

Here are just a few of the many, many pictures I took.

This is not the Splendor, this is the Queen Mary, that we saw on the way to the Splendor.
Ah, yes, here at last!
Leaving Long Beach, looking out from our balcony.

Looking towards the front of the ship, and the crow's nest.

Yes, the decor was "interesting" - these manequins were outside a bar/disco called the "Red Carpet"

Inside one of the smaller show rooms.

The main pool area.

The "Black Pearl" dining room.

This is the spa's whirlpool room. We spent a lot of time in here on Wednesday.

The weather was great!

With no kids on this particular cruise, the water slide wasn't very busy.

Looking off the back of the ship.

Most of the decks were pretty wide open.

Looking down towards the main lobby and bar area.

Ah, Lisa and I enjoying a cool rummy beverage before heading off to dinner.
