The main pool area on Splenor is the Splendido Pool area. While some earlier Carnival ships have retractable
glass roofs over the aft pool, Splenor is the first one to have a magradome over the main midships pool area. "It is a
blessing," says Captain Giorgio Pagana. "In northern Europe [where the summers are cool], we could close the
magradome and have people there with activities by the pool. In St. Thomas, when there was a downpour of rain, we
could close the magradome and everybody relaxed by the pool even when it was raining. When the ship is in
[Mexico] and it is very hot, we can close it."
Included under the magradome is a 12 foot by 22 foot LCD screen and a 70,000-watt sound system making up the
Seaside Theater. This facility is used for showing movies, concerts, and sporting events.
The enclosed area is two decks high and there is a balcony overlooking the pool. Not only are there tables and
chairs for eating and for watching the films but there are also large whirlpools suspended over the sides of the ship.

At the aft end of the open
decks is the open-air
Linear Lido Pool.
