Carnival Cruises - Great Cruise Deals on Carnival Luminosa and Splendor, sailing from Brisbane & Sydney

Value for money is second to none! If you are willing to overlook the tasteless colour scheme and rather tired looking cabins! The crew and entertainers are easygoing and friendly and always try their best to provide top service! Best cruise if you are travelling with small kids or lots of noisy, easygoing and fun loving friends and family! The food is great for the money you pay, we always enjoy.

IVOR , BEXLEY SYDNEY on 07 March 17, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Fun experience, however the isle of mare' was cancelled out due to weather conditions in Fiji which was over 1300 km away and travelling in a different direction. Also other travellers who have done this trip a few times in the past had told us this island had repeatedly been cancelled on every trip they had done, and they still haven't visited it yet.

The ship has a wonderful décor. Comedians and entertainment in the bars is excellent. Adults only area is fabulous. Many dining options, drinks are reasonable in price. Would have given 5 stars but I think the cabins are a bit tired and not keen on colour scheme and I did find the meals more on the warm side than hot. Overall 4 stars and I had a great time!
Clare, Sydney on 05 March 17, cruised on Carnival Spirit

First Time Traveller and enjoyed cruise very much and will certainly go again might be New Zealand next time
Brian, Narre Warren .Victoria on 10 July 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

It's a shame that they don't have a limit on the amount of children onboard, as they ran wild & created havoc. The 1st 2 times we sailed on her was no problem (Out of Hawaii & out of Vancouver) but the cruise out of Sydney was awful because of the children (Princess & P&O have a set ratio of children to adults) this is a shame because everything else onboard was great.
Maureen, Glenbrook NSW on 03 July 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Excellent all round, particularly the spectacular Riverbook Show. A real treat,
Eileen, Ulverstone on 30 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

My husband and I, our daughter, husband and grand-daughter 9 years old, thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. I have recommended it to our friends and family.
Sandra, Faulconbridge on 29 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We had a great cruise. It was our first cruise and could not have had a better experience.
Jennifer, Georges Hall NSW on 29 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We had a wonderful time because we were careful not to eat too much and went to the gym most days. It was the best holiday we have had in years and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. I just wished I had thought about taking clothes & toys for the kids in the villages though. They have so little, yet were very happy.

The meals in the dining room were pretty ordinary,not at all up to the standard of all the other cruise lines. The food in the buffet was really good though.

Tehela, Gold Coast on 27 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

This was our first time on a Carnival ship and we were very impressed. The food was as good as any ship we have been on and the Cabin and entertainment were great. The service in was mostly great although there were a few exceptions. Overall, we would certainly book another carnival cruise

Wonderful cruise. Carnival Spirit is one of the easiest ships we have traveled on to find your way around. Even in the rough seas the ship was really quite stable. The food your wonderful and such a selection. Every staff member on board made us feel welcome and special, even though they deal with hundreds of people each cruise. We would recommend and hope to cruise on board again.
Wendy, CONDON on 27 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

The service on the carnival spirit was excellent and so was the food. We had a great holiday and the kids loved the water slide and pools.

joan, melbourne on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We chose obstructed view cabin 4103, was very comfy with opening window no balcony. We enjoyed the sound and smell of the sea and could watch the waves from our bed. Just brilliant choice at bargain price. We sailed to Tasmania and our cabin steward was delightful, and enjoyed our choice of gratuities. Planning to cruise again.
Cathryn, Sydney on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

A Family Ship....too many kids if you are looking for Couples only ship.
Mick, Sydney on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We found the ship a little outdated. There wasn't many quiet inside places to sit and relax, most were thoroughfares for people to walk through. The adult section out the back of the ship was great if you could get a seat, always very crowded. We have cruised a bit so comparing it to other ships we were a little disappointed.
Kim , Little Hartley on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Kids club for the 15-17s was great. My son thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sharon, Swansea on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Not a lot of supervisors or security to be seen
Glenn, Green Point on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

I love their wi-fi packages and the ability to access internet in every cabin. The formal dining experience is more than just food - each meal offers a variety of entertainment along with excellent service. Love the variety of the casual dining area. Shore tours are excellent and good value. Very happy with art auctions on board. One incredible full on holiday. Taking kids and grandchildren on next cruise. Carnival offer the best kids clubs.
Delphine, Redbank Plains on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Vinnie, Sydney on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

We were unfortunately on deck8 directly below the smoking side alongside the pool and bars and had deck hairs being shuffled in & out of place either by passengers or by staff all night long into daybreak. Otherwise the cruise was excellent.
Joseph, Sydney on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Great ship to sail on with your family. The kids club staff were fantastic.
Julie, Loch on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Paul, Canberra on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

As a frequent cruiser I would love to see lockers provided for regular guests to leave some of their luggage on board, save bringing it along each time.
Jenny , Sydney on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Karen, Melbourne on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

Value for money cruise. Family orientated. staff excellent. There were not sufficient day time activities. Also the main dinning room only opened for Breakfast /Brunch on 4 out of 6 days at sea (They opened each night for dinner) we like our meals in the main dinning.
Macina, Perth on 26 June 14, cruised on Carnival Spirit

What a fabulous ship. There was a variety of quality food available ALL day. Entertainment was good. We were able to use the baby sitting service (for a reasonable fee) and enjoy some adult time of an evening. The kids were usually comfortably asleep when we went to pick them up. As a family there was lots to do and the slides had the kids laughing for hours! Full, relaxed and entertained. Definitely value for money!
