This time, I'm taking you along with us to experience what a short Carnival Splendor cruise is actually like when travelling with a 5 year old. From boarding the ship in Sydney to food, activities, entertainment, swimming, exploring Carnival Splendor and simply spending a few days together at sea, you'll get to experience our three-night cruise as it happened. Carnival Splendor is one of Carnival Cruise Line's Australian ships and is particularly popular with families thanks to its waterslides, splash areas, kids' activities, entertainment and casual dining options. What’s in This Carnival Splendor Cruise Vlog? 👨‍👦 Father & Son Cruise Come along as my 5 year old son and I spend three nights at sea together and find out what he thinks of the Carnival cruise experience. 🚢 Life Onboard Carnival Splendor See what it's actually like spending a short cruise onboard, including the atmosphere, public areas and what we get up to throughout the three days. 🍔 Food & Dining We try a range of Carnival Splendor's dining options, including some of the ship's popular casual food and restaurants. 🎉 Activities & Entertainment One of Carnival's biggest selling points for families is the amount happening onboard. You'll see some of the activities and entertainment we experienced during our cruise. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Cruising with Young Kids If you're considering taking younger children on Carnival Splendor, this vlog should give you a much better idea of what the experience is actually like from a parent's perspective. Is Carnival Splendor Good for Families? Carnival positions Splendor heavily towards family cruising, with waterslides, splash areas, outdoor games, kids' clubs and family entertainment onboard. But there's a big difference between reading a list of facilities and actually spending several days onboard with a young child. That's what I wanted to capture in this video. 📌 Would you take your kids or grandkids on Carnival Splendor? And what age do you think is perfect for a child's first cruise?
