Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Carnival Luminosa

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 ...

The cruise was a good value for monry. Positives: easy embarkation and disembarkation, well oganised tender to the shore, night shows were just OK. Disapointments: adult pool at the back was dirty, you could see residual oil on the handels of the entry steps, water very salty, I took shower as soon as I left the pool, never went back again. Buffet on level 9, one side of buffet was getting colsed ...

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 ...

Chose this cruise from Brisbane up to Airlie Beach , Cairns & Port Douglas back to Brisbane interesting as it had just done a 30 day cruise from Los Angelos to Brisbane so for our cruise there were 600 Americans on board , the passengers were a mix of middle age to older passengers no yobos or Bogans on board .
Our cabin was good even thou it was classified as an interior cabin it had a full ...

This was hands down the fasted embarkation that I have ever had with Carnival. We actually got on the ship earlier than what they had said, less sitting and waiting. The room was fine, the bed was not as soft as we are used to from the past ships we have been on. The food is about the same quality that you find on any Carnival Cruise. I would recommend getting up a little early so you beat the ...

We chose this cruise for the dates offered to us. My husband and I weren't sure about a smaller ship but the Luminosa was wonderful. The cruise wasn't full so maybe that's why it felt roomier. I can't get over how clean the ship was kept. Everywhere I turned a crew member was cleaning. The food was the best we ever had on any cruise ship by far! We're almost Platinum.
All of the crew ...

This was our first Alaskan cruise. The ship was great. It’s older and smaller with an art deco feel. We loved it. Easy to get around and the crew was amazing. We even had a bit of a medical situation on board and the medical staff was first class with more compassion than you get at any random clinic or emergency room.
The food was very good and the service in the food areas was perfect. The ...
