FUN FACTS
Carnival Splendor's central theme of "splendid things" begins in the Atrium with rich, materials mixed with stainless steel and stylized wood laminates for a striking effect. The celebration of all that is magnificent, lustrous and elegant continues throughout all public spaces.
The area sure to dazzle is the incredible Splendido Lido Pool. Completely redesigned, the central pool deck is an open glass-walled two-decks-high area that can be totally covered by a retractable Sky Dome, making it the ship's largest "indoor" public room.
There are no whirlpools adjacent to the Splendido Lido Pool on Deck 9. Instead they are sensibly located on either side of Deck 10, shaded by the overhead cover and right alongside the outside rail for uninterrupted sea views
