Creator's Key Takeaways

It is our first cruise back on the encounter after she's been converted to a carnival ship.

The food is the same. It's exactly the same layout. And actually, I'm quite pleased about that.

The service has been really, really lovely.

I've enjoyed it today. Yeah. It's good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own bottle of wine or bubbly as allowed by Carnival.
Check the pantry early for a less crowded boarding experience.

YouTube Video Description

Encounter recently transferred over to Carnival Cruise Line Australia and after a quick lick of pain and spruce up she started a new phase of her life as Carnival Encounter. The Easter weekend comedy cruise was the first opportunity we had to go on Encounter under Carnival ownership. See what we thought in this video series. This one is Embarkation Day.
