Creator's Key Takeaways

I did go on this Cruise as a girls trip so we probably got more involved with the entertainment we do anyway

the food was really really good even my friends mentioned about how much they really enjoyed the food on the Carnival luminosa

the carnival luminosa doesn't have the slides or the water parks that the Carnival Splendor has

if you are going on the Carnival luminosa between now and December expect to see a lovely husband and wife duet they're really really good

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take your white outfit even if you're only doing a 4-day cruise because they probably will have a silent white hot night
If you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, be aware that the casino smell can get really bad
If you need self-service laundry, note that it's not available on this ship

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

No water slides or water parksIf traveling with kids who love slides, consider Carnival Splendor instead
No self-service laundryFor longer cruises with family, plan for laundry service or wait until platinum/diamond status for free washing

YouTube Video Description

Transferred from Costa Cruise Lines, Carnival Luminosa is a sometimes controversial cruise ship because she is quite different to most Carnival cruise ships. She doesn't have all the Carnival bells and whistles... so what does she have? Let's discuss in my opinion, what I do and don't like about the Carnival Luminosa.
