Carnival Spirit Review
Good value but avoid if you want to escape kids.

Additional details
My wife (28) and I (27) took this crusie as part of our honeymoon. We booked this cruiseline knowing that Carnival target families, but had hoped that being well out of School holidays it wouldn't be too bad. Unfortuantely, there were loads of kids! I must say the ship is fairly well equipped for families/children, but i wish parents would respect other travellers by LOOKING AFTER THEIR KIDS AND NOT LET THEM RUN WILD! Not Carnivals fault, but I do wish that staff would speak up when kids are running around through the buffett etc.
Both Embarkment and Disembarkment went smoothly and was efficient. Real easy to get to/from the ship via the Train.
The ship is not bad, a little bit over the top with the decorations! They do grow on you though!
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Cabin was a good size, cleam and everything functioned well. Bed was super comfortable. Window is large, so there was a nice view out of it.
Port Reviews
Noumea
Not a great Port to Visit. We took the Hop on Hop off bus and do not reccomend it - $20AUD each but the stops are not great. Have no desire to return
Mystery Island
Awesome little Island, great to take snorkling gear and go for a swim.
Mare
We found an awesome spot to snorkle in without paying for the bus to the other side of the island. It was a 10 minute walk and we found some stairs down to the water. Cool fish and even saw a sea snake.
