Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship was very clean. A positive experience for us.

I feel the ship is too old and design is not good for this day and age.

Embarcation and disembarkation was a delight and troublefree with it only taking 5 minutes from go to Wo.

The entertainment was good in the theater with the ship's band very good. Elsewhere, the entertainment was a little below par.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Must get to the comedy club early for the good ones or the seats are gone.
Do not recommend purchasing the Cheers drink package as it's not worth the money unless you are a big drinker.
Bring a power hookup as very little in the room and none in bathroom at all.

Today, Carnival Cruise Line is the world's most popular cruise line with almost five million fun-loving guests travelling every year. Carnival cruises to a variety of destinations around the world including the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Europe, Hawaii and more. From Australia, our fleet of four ships operates two- to 14-day cruises, departing from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Singapore, sailing to the South Pacific, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Asia. Closer to home we visit standout destinations like the Great Barrier Reef, Moreton Island South Australia and Tasmania. At Carnival, we believe fun is a choice and we’re here to make it an easy one! Everything from our FUN ships and destinations through to our Fun Squad and entertainment lineup are carefully crafted to deliver holidays full of fun, relaxation, and joy for everyone.  Each ship offers its own unique personality and range of onboard experiences - no matter which ship guests choose, we guarantee there are good times around every corner! From riding waterslides, dancing at deck parties, and discovering the wonderful world of Dr Seuss, to blissful massages, and delicious dining, guests can choose their kind of fun on a Carnival cruise.  CARNIVAL LUMINOSA Guests setting sail on Carnival Luminosa can expect hospitality and fun that's pure, unmistakable Carnival, with so many fan-favorite onboard features like the flavors of Alchemy Bar®, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™ and RedFrog® Rum Bar; the entertainment of Playlist Productions™, Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner™ Comedy Club; plus the relaxation of Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity™. And when you’re indoors, you can still expect great views and lots of natural light — the ship was built with plenty of windows. So when you choose to sail on Carnival Luminosa, can we just say… great choice! There’s just one more decision to make: is Australia or Alaska more your cruising style? We ask because this world-traveling ship will kick things off sailings from Australia in the summer months with plenty of itinerary options… before heading to Seattle for a summer of Alaska cruises. And when the ship’s heading from one region to the other, we take the opportunity to sail unique Transpacific itineraries that stop in spots like Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Japan and more. So, what we’re saying is… with scenery like this, you’re gonna put those windows to good use!
