Hi Cruisers!
Up until cruising with Carnival, John and myself had only cruised with P@O. We had cruised around Australia and also to the South Pacific Islands - Isle of Pines, Lefou, Mare, Noumea and Fiji. It was a friend of ours, Stacey, a seasoned cruiser, who incidentally, we met on the Pacific Dawn, who suggested that we all go on the Carnival Spirit Repositioning Cruise from Honolulu. To sail on this ship would actually be an historic occasion so to speak, as this would be the first Carnival ship to make it's home In Australian waters! We had to give it some thought as the airfare To Hawaii was expensive, being that it was so far away from Australia, but after talking Stacey into sharing a quad cabin with John and I and John's friend Ken, we were good to go! Before we began the Cruise we spent 8 nights in Hawaii which was also a truly wonderful experience but that's another story!...
When we boarded the Spirit, we fixed up reception detail and then headed through the maze of corridors. ....yes, we found our cabin, with the usual curtain at the end of the room pretending there was a window behind it (fooling no one), plus 2 bunk beds either side, shower, drawers, bar fridge, all the comforts of an interior windowless cabin which is totally fine for sleeping and showering! After all, it all happens outside the cabin (for most of us).!
Nice and comfortable, did the job! No windows but then we get them cheaper!
