Carnival Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

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 ...

My wife and I took a nine day cruise up the Australian coast departing from Sydney. Biggest port of call was Cairns and a couple of smaller places in Queensland. My biggest error was selecting a cruise right dab in the middle of a school semester break resulting in hundreds of kids joining us on the cruise. While the ship officially holds about 3100 folks, a couple of times the announced number ...

We love cruising & trying new cruiselines but this 4 day Easter cruise to Moreton Island has turned me off Carnival Cruiselines. They say they have capacity of 3,012 but kept saying they had over 3,900 onboard - so I reported them & was told they are registered to take 3,948, which they do when filling every bunk and sofa! Problem is the ship is not really made to cater for about 4,000 ...

Our experience with Carnival was very good, that's why we decided to go on 10 Days cruise around Pacific Islands - march 2023. Cabin, food, restaurants, was all as we would remember from the previous experience. Entertaiment, however - very poor, nothing good, boring and cheap. We purchased an apple watch (another remainder to ourselves - not to buy staff like this on the ...

We originally booked this cruise back in 2019, but it got cancelled because of the pandemic. We booked again but our cruise got cancelled 3 more times. Finally, we were able to take this cruise from Sydney, Australia. The first thing I noticed when boarding is the ship is VERY pink. But that didn't bother me, I thought it added to the experience. You enter the ship via the massive, breathtaking ...

So I decided to do a three day cruise for my 60th Birthday with my friend, overall cruise was good. Staff in the dining area were very good so was the food and most staff friendly. We were in a spa Balcony and enjoyed the perks very much, variety of food in the Lido was minimal but the pizza was amazing, our cabin 1016 was clean and tidy although cabins are cleaned once a day only. TV was so ...

Chose this cruise for a 21st birthday The food was terrible only food that was half decent was 24 hour pizza and the sandwich bar. The all you can eat buffet was crap they just couldn’t even get the simple things right. We went to the restaurant for 2 nights the first night I got a steak which I thought might’ve been nice being at the restaurant but was nothing fancy at all no one in ...

I got a good deal (I thought) of $890 AUD for a balcony cabin and $900 AUD OBC. I should have known that it was too good to be true (especially when the American cruisers told me what they were paying). Embarkation was a total farce. We were told that we had to show a negative RAT result, 24 hrs prior. No one ever asked to see it. When we finally got on board, we waited by the lifts until, ...

Carnival Splendor had three cruises that lined up nicely. South Pacific, Moreton Island and New Zealand. We booked all three with the same cabin. Once we got on board for the first cruise we didn't unpack for 25 days! It was an epic journey, and with all the activities and port days, we had an incredible time. The staff were amazing and did anything and everything to be sure we were well ...

We had chosen and booked this cruise before the pandemic. It was canceled and reset many times do to the COVID outbreaks on ships and the lack of testing procedures laid out by the government and agreed upon by the cruiselines. We had set this cruise with 8 other people and were excited to meet up with them on this January 29. 2023 cruise out of Sydney. We were flying from the US about 9,000 miles ...
