Carnival Splendor deck plans

Carnival Splendor (built in 2008, last refurbished in August 2024 / Fun Ship 2.0 in November 2019) is unique within the Carnival fleet. She has no sister ships under the Carnival brand, as she belongs to the Concordia class of Costa Cruises—alongside Concordia (sank in 2012), Fascinosa, Favolosa, Pacifica, and Serena.

The Carnival Splendor cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 1,508 staterooms accommodating 3,016 passengers (maximum capacity 3,619), served by 1,150 crew members. The ship features 13 passenger decks (8 with cabins), 24 lounges and bars, 4 swimming pools, 7 Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs), and 14 elevators.

The decks with passenger cabins include 52 Suites, 537 Balcony staterooms, 368 Oceanview cabins, and 556 Inside cabins. Self-service laundromats (launderettes) are available for passenger use. Laundry charges are $3.25 per washer or dryer load and $1.50 per detergent/water softener box (from vending machines). Launderettes are open from 6:30 am to 12 midnight and are located on all cabin decks. Each laundry room includes 2-3 washers, 2-3 dryers, and one ironing board with iron. Machines accept coins only and cannot be operated using Sail & Sign cards. While the ship is docked, washing machines are unavailable (only dryers and irons may be used). Valet laundry service is also available through the cabin steward, with pricing per item for wash-and-press ($2–$7.50) and dry-cleaning ($3–$10.50).

Carnival Splendor Deckplan Changes / Refurbishments Review

Carnival Splendor’s most recent drydock refurbishment took place August 5–24, 2024, in Singapore, at Sembcorp Marine's Sembawang Shipyard. The three-week project included upgrades to public areas, expanded amenities, new dining options, routine maintenance, safety and classification inspections, and hull cleaning and repainting with Carnival's updated livery. In addition to the new red-white-blue hull design (introduced in 2021), Carnival Splendor features a Southern Cross constellation graphic on both sides of the hull—an homage to her connection with P&O Australia. The 2024 upgrades included refreshed menus (Mad Sizzle, Masala Tiger, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse), renovated stateroom balconies, suite enhancements (new whirlpools), sports and wellness updates (gym, basketball court, jogging track, Cloud 9 Spa’s Thalasso Therapy Pool), a revamped Carnival WaterWorks aquapark (new waterslides, Splashy Cove playground), refreshed Mini-Golf course, upgraded youth spaces (video gaming areas at Camp Ocean and Club O2), a renewed Casino and Retail Shops, and new entertainment offerings, including Playlist Productions’ “Dear Future Husband.”

The 2019 drydock (October 30–November 24), also held at Sembcorp Marine Singapore, was a USD 60 million project that prepared the vessel for the Australian market and added Carnival’s signature Fun Ship 2.0 upgrades.

This included general maintenance, technical overhauls, refreshed interior spaces, and new venues such as RedFrog Pub, Alchemy Bar, and Guy’s Burger Joint. Additions also included the Serenity Retreat (adults-only sundeck), a redesigned waterpark (featuring a free-fall drop waterslide), and other guest enhancements.

The 2016 drydock was held from March 6–20.
