Sydney (Australia) to the 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 ...

The main focus of this trip was to visit relatives in New Zealand and Australia. After spending a month travelling around the 2 countries we decided to board the Noordam to sail back to Vancouver. We found the ship very clean and well maintained. The cabin was adequate with a great balcony. There was an issue with the air conditioning in our stateroom which took 3 days to fix but we were ...

We love Celebrity ships, always in Aqua class so we can dine in blu, always first class food and service, staff seems to have been given extra training in allergies, my wife has coeliac disease and staff were very good at keeping her safe from Gluten As with all my reviews I like to keep things real and report on some big negatives on the cruise. At the wonderful sunset bar there is no no ...

We went on this cruise to celebrate a friends special birthday. Unfortunately I was stuck down with a case of Food Poisoning on the first day after lunch so spent my time in the cabin ill. I contacted the medical centre onboard but was very quickly shut down and hung up on (care factor zero) . Very poor form from the medical staff and failing to even ask any questions. This was documented to the ...

Thank you to p n o for the best holiday. Had the best time, the show the entertainment never a dole moment. Always some thing to do. Love the cocktail. The restaurant were amazing the service was outstanding. There was only one thing the table for couples was to close. A big big thank you to our room Stewart Mushaf. You went above and beyond not just cleaning our room, you were helpful with ...

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 ...
