    Looking for a fun-filled holiday? Look no further, as Carnival Splendor has it all! There is a whole lot of ship spanning the length of three football fields. Originally a Costa Concordia class ship, now in a class of her own—the Splendor Class. Refurbished in 2024, new Funship upgrades include Mad Sizzle; a fantastic paid dining experience, the relocation and expansion of the much loved Masala Tiger, and a refreshed mini-golf course. From the moment you board Carnival Splendor, you will realise you’ve stepped on the “fun ship”, with iconic Pink Zebra wallpaper, to bright colorful tiles in the dining areas, quirky artwork all over the ship, the giant green and yellow waterslides jutting high in the sky - it will put you in the right mood from the word go.
