Had higher expectations but was disappointed

The ship lacks activities, extremely under staffed, you will find a hard time getting a drink almost everywhere in the ship. I cruise with RC all the time and this is by far the worst of their ships. From the poor service, to lack of activities, it’s just a horrible choice. Put in mind i booked a suite, I can’t imagine the lesser cabins are going through. The pool is extremely tiny and ...

Not the best from Carnival

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 ...

The Christmas cruise on Carnival Luminosa was expected to be very busy and full of families. As a family ourselves, we had a good time but felt some areas could be improved that are within the control of the crew. But I start with the positives: Good: 1) The cabins were very good, with lots and lots of storage space, clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. 2) The onboarding ...

Luminosa is a mid-sized ship by today's standards; we found it generally clean and well-maintained. There was a small amount of vibration in places but very little engine or exhaust noise as found on other ships we have been on. It seems like a quiet, solid ship although we had very calm sailing and couldn't assess her stability. We found the air conditioning a bit cold for comfort in some ...

We chose Pacific Encounter because the itinerary included ports in Papua New Guinea that we were keen to visit and sample the culture. The check-in system at Brisbane Port is diabolically inadequate! After standing in a long line for more than 100 minutes to board the vessel, we eventually made it to our cabin. While we were unpacking an announcement from the captain told us that due to ‘civil ...

We arrived at Brisbane cruise terminal at our allotted embarkation time. Still had to queue for two hours (less 5 minutes) until we boarded. From this point standing in queues is my main trip memory. I had problems with my room key and account. The queue at the reception desk took an hour and 40 minutes. Luckily, when I got to the front, the issue was quickly resolved. There were six (or it may ...

So we booked a 2 week cruise around the pacific islands leaving Brisbane on the 15th July for a 30th and 50th birthday and it ended up our worse holiday EVER. So we arrived at the port on the 15th and were totally shocked to how many people were using walking aids or in wheelchairs and after walking around the boat it become aware the 2 week cruise was going to be like living in an age care ...

*Princess contacted us as the previous cruise had been cancelled. (BNE to BNE) They offered BNE to Syd, we declined. The first red flag was when we were given a 'personal cruise advisor, not in Australia but the US' What? The time zone made it impossible for us to communicate at a suitable time. Messages constantly missed, therefore had to wait for the next opportunity to speak. This ...

We chose this cruise because it was cheap. you get what you pay for!! after the last p&o cruise, i swore i would never use p&o again. the food in all free restaurents was tasteless, poorly prepaired, poor quality & with little variety. i thought it may have improved, but it hasn't. Drinks are double the price of any other cruise line considering they are pouring 1/2 nips (30ml) for $11. ...

Review for a South Pacific Cruise on Carnival Spirit

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

Carnival Spirit is old and has not updated for over 8 years. Even when updated lots of original items remain; bathrooms and carpets are outdated. Food gets worse each year, especially for someone who prepares meals each day with fresh food. Long lines everywhere. Transportation from airport to ship is horrific! Not worth paying for this service, figure on waiting hours at the airport ...
