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 ...

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 ...

Food was over cooked same thing every time and just got spicier as it went on. Over crowded by 1500. Most of the crew had covid and walked around without masks by the most guest had it and the way you get treated by them after telling them so dont tell them you caught covid! Don't have enough staff in upstairs restaurants and way too many in the lower deck in the upper you were a lucky one if you ...

The Room; Very average 3 star hotel with uncomfortable beds that vibrate the brains out of your spine due to the low speed of the cruise; Dear Carnival anchor the boat from 23:00-0700 save the fuel, and let people rest in peace. I booked a balcony room. No ironing board in room No self service laundry The ship; Very limited dining options compared to Legend. The only ...

I would personally not recommend Carnival to any of my family or friends. Entering a holiday spending over $2000 on accomodation and food to be underwhelming let down has left a distasteful stench in my mouth. The buffet is revolting so I attempted to eat at the restaurant hoping for better quality. To which I was again let down with a microwaved sirloin steak. Upon departing Airlie beach, guests ...

Make sure NEVER to book this cruise ship or you'll have the worst time ever!!! Save yourself from spending money and get nothing in return. I booked this cruise to celebrate my birthday with my 2 boys 12 and 14 years old. I made sure to book a spa room and a balcony room so bear in mind i spent more than the average to ensure comfort. To start with, the only pool they could use was small and ...

Well not sure where to begin, planned this holiday for my family in fact 16 of us which was a total of 6 cabins. We were all excited to go even though we had read some not great reviews. I decided to still go ahead ( worst decision) The food buffet was the worst i had ever experienced (been on many cruises now). The evening meal wasn’t to bad at all after the first night we had to complain as ...

Overall the ship was really nice the staff were excellent, however the food was terrible, up at the Buffett it was hit or miss, either dried out and cold or over cooked so much it was uneatable.The toasted sandwich bar was good but always that busy you had to stand in a line for twenty minutes. The old fashion BBQ now that was a joke always dried out and cold.The main restaurant had some good ...

Worst cruise ever - being covid negative and being locked in a cabin with a covid positive person - what do you think happened?

BOARDING: This cruise did not start well. The line to board was not something I have ever experienced before - as this was my 15th cruise I had experienced everything from "almost instant boarding" to "wait in line" but nothing prepared us for the more than three hour wait - and we had already done the online check in! The ship was supposed to leave at 4pm, but they hadn't boarded all the ...
