Carnival South Pacific Cruise Reviews

First Cruise on Carnival Splendor since Covid, bit of step back from Celebrity Eclipse few weeks back, but hey the price difference says it all. This was a transferred from a transfer etc from Covid so I was happy Carnival gave us spending money so we could sit back and have some drinks etc. yippie. I think it is easier just to list what I thought was good and not so good. Good - ...

This was our third cruise with carnival. The first two being prior to covid. The boat is like a big floating RSL club. Super understaffed compared to last trips and way over crowded. The line at buffet was 20 minutes , to get pizza or bar service was even worse due to minimal staff. Tender boats have also been reduced to two boats for entire ship to get to the shore, so we waited 5 hours ...

The real stand out were the people, both staff and fellow passengers. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Also, after a couple of days the passengers had relaxed and it was really nice being amongst so many people who were their best selves. Everyone was chatting with strangers and that doesn’t generally happen in normal life. The food was excellent. In the main dining room we ...

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 ...

this is the worst ship I have ever been on for maintenance and services that ship is not been fully refinished the outside of the ship is in poor shape the flooring or deck of the ship is very dangerous to walk on my wife had a major fall the first day on the ship and received major injuries the ship head explain they do not have time to repair so we had to leave the ship 5 days later and fly home ...

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 Even when updated lots of original items remain; bathrooms and carpets are outdated.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 ...

I like to cruise and when I do I prefer it to be to new locations and on different ships. The Luminosa has made me question this approach given I definitely didn't get the ship I expected. The Luminosa apparently and sold as recently refurbished, if that is the case I would have hated to see it before, a rebranding might be more accurate. ie sticking Carnival stickers where Costa once ...

I wasn't expecting such high quality service, food and entertainment and was nicely surprised sailing on the Luminosa. We've sailed before on the RC and always felt like it was over crowded and really busy, but on the Luminosa we always felt like we had heaps of space and there were always sun lounges around the pool. We had a balcony room and really worth the extra being able to look out and ...

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 ...
