We travelled on the Carnival Spirit leaving Sydney on the 7 October and heading out to Vanuatu and New Caledonia. We were travelling as a family of 4. My husband , myself and our 2 girls 3 years and 4 (nearly 5 ) years.
Overall we really had a wonderful time. Boarding the vessel was easy and once we found our bearings around the massive ship we really started to feel at home.
There are plenty of dining options and our children loved the pools , soft serve ice cream and mini golf. There was always plenty of food on offer somewhere on the ship and the room service was always very good and very cheap. The drink prices were high. $7.50 for a regular bear , $10.50 for a cocktail special and the prices went up from there if you wanted something different. $35 for a bottle of wine and upwards.
We had had 4228 Connecting to 4230. this is a suite and a balcony cabin that are adjoining. The balcony was huge and both cabins were a great size. The location at the back of the ship was great and even though the conditions at times were rough and windy we barely felt the ship moving.
