This Australian vacation was planned as a break from the gloomy winter in Olympia WA in the USA. We began our cruise in Brisbane Australia headed for a couple small islands in the South Pacific. First two days at sea;
This ship is showing its age. It feels very closed in compared with newer ships. The food selection and quality is below par. The servers are friendly and welcoming. I have ...
We have cruised other Carnival ships, but nothing as bad as this. Toilet stopped working for several days. Public areas smelled of sewerage. My GoPro was stolen, and when I reported it security stripped our room (mind you this was around midnight as well). My wife broke her finger on a shore excursion, and we caught both COVID and Influenza A. Our last meal in cabin isolation was a single piece ...
Cruise was on 11/2 out to South Pacific
the morning of the cruise, the itinerary changed due to the low. So from 3 ports we went to 2 ports which was Santo and Port Vila (no tenders required) I was very happy with the change as i had not been to those ports since 5 years ago. Plus
$200 onboard credit was given for each cabin. My personal experience: Ship - small and quirky, which Ioved. ...
Will never travel on Carnival Luminosa again. Breach of privacy when we found evidence on our GoPro of a staff member going through our personal items taking a video of themselves. MAJOR BREACH OF PRIVACY!!
The staff at the sunset bar were extremely rude and weren’t happy when having to remake a drink that made wrong initially. The boat is old in the inside. Pools are small.
In the dining ...
We are currently on the January 28th, 2024 Carnival Splendor itinerary now heading back to Syndney. This cruise has been such a disappointment that I felt compelled to write a recent review. To summarize, it is the first time on a Carnival cruise where we are ready to get off of the ship and are embarrassed that our extended family had such a terrible experience for their first cruise. ...
Old, run down cruise ship. Most of the staff were unenthusiastic (except for a handful that were accommodating), food was pretty average and the rooms were clean but outdated.
Issues with tenders being released from the ship to port caused massive delays - I really enjoyed sweltering in the hot sun for over an hour.
The best part was the lack of entertainment for adults. There were three ...
3 day cruise from Sydney Australia. Food . Rubbish . Entertainment. Rubbish . Staff direction . Rubbish . Internet access . Ripoff . Nightlife . Rubbish . Only good thing we can say about this trip . Getting off the boat to go home . Carnival splendor. RUBBISH .
I will never sail with this ship or Carnival again . Unorganised from go to end. Had better food in Macdonalds. Entertainment was like ...
My wife and I decided to try the 3 day cruise
We didn’t know what to really expect.
After disembarking we discussed and reflected in the fairest way I feel
The staff were very hard working and the catering was managed to perfection .We did wonder how there were som many staff on board as many were from overseas.
Pros:
For disabled people it was quite functional
The food ...
Chosen as something different for family Xmas get together it was priced well for our whole family of 13 including 2 elderly parents. Having read the bad reviews pre booking, it was felt anything above that is a bonus and so pleased we ignored them.. right from ease of boarding, a wheel chair offered for a parent with some walking disability to get them through quickly. The rooms were clean, room ...
I have cruised 10 or more times now on various different ships and cruise lines.
I am usually a fan of the Carnival brand, however not on this ship.
It lacked in so many areas compared to other ships.
Lack of bar staff around common areas and dinning room.
Dinning room lacked in service. Getting drinks at desert time and inconsistent food servings.
Lack of general cleaning around ...
