Carnival Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

We chose the Luminosa for its convenient departure point of Brisbane, short duration, and excellent deal. We couldn't have stayed in an equivalent hotel and eaten as well as we did for the price we paid! We opted for a Spa suite, which, once you factored in the spa access fee, was pretty good value. The ship was almost full and we appreciated the peace and quiet of the spa almost every ...

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 ...

We choose this cruise specifically for the destination, we didnt disagree with the captian changing the destination based on safety concerns with the weather but dont feel we were sufficiently conspensated for that change as a cruise to freeport would have been much cheaper. With that being said you make the best of things but the crew and fellow cruisers made the trip for us every one was so ...

This was our very first cruise and we came back with a very positive experience. While we dont have a cruise benchmark to compare, it was evident that almost everyone of the crew we came across were trying their best to make our holidays what we wanted it to be - whether we wanted a party experience or a relaxing one or anything in between. We chose this because we understood Carnival was a family ...

This was another cancelled, cancelled, cancelled past cruise caused by covid, but at least we got some obc spending money which paid for drinks and other items. We enjoyed the cruise thanks to meeting some other couples that we joined up with triveas and general company, this really is what cruising is all about. We only went to the Lido and other free eateries around it ( The Indian, BBQ, ...

We chose this cruise as it was reasonably priced, a great time of year and had an absolute fabulous time. The first night was a bit of a disaster as we were out in a side dining area where the service was appalling and food was cold by the time we received it plus had to get our own drinks. I made a complaint to head manager and we found the problem solved for the rest of the cruise. We always ...

I received an email advertising a really good price for a 7 day South Pacific cruise and jumped in I have traveled on Princess and Royal Caribbean and was keen to compare One very important item when boarding, ensure you have a hard copy or screen shot of your insurance certificate that clearly shows you are covered for Covid and cruising My document stated international Covid cover but ...

First time on Carnival (RC, Princess & P&O) & first Christmas cruise. Mum & 2 teens (O2 club); Sister booked a last minute cabin. Knew another family, so linked them to be part of our travel group (for MDR). Festive displays helped lessen the pink themed public areas (although the decor in the room corridors was nice). Although the MDR is called the golden pearl, it’s hard not to see it ...

Flew up from Sydney. Stayed at Kingsford Smith Motel - excellent service, comfy beds, modern rooms + free shuttle the new Brisbane cruise port. Highly recommend the motel for pre cruise stay. Luminosa - nicely decorated for Christmas. Had 2 x solo balcony cabins on Deck 7 AFT. Great location. Comfy beds, nice balconies - guest services gave room steward permission to open up door between ...
