Creator's Key Takeaways

it's also a bit of a slap in the face for many of you

I was hopeful that when Carnival announced its new itineraries it would be mindful of the millions of Cruisers that live outside of Sydney and Brisbane but that disappointingly is not the case

frankly I just think that Carnival owes Aussie Cruisers more than this

I do think that they owe us more than this they owe many of you more than this

YouTube Video Description

#cruise #cruisenews #carnivalcruises In this video, I dive into the latest changes coming to P&O Cruises Australia as it becomes fully absorbed into Carnival Australia’s operations by March 2025. I’ll explore what this means for cruisers, including the departure of Pacific Explorer, the future of the fleet, and how Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter will keep the P&O experience alive. I also discuss the disappointing news for Australians outside Sydney and Brisbane, as there are no new plans for cruises from other capital cities. Plus, we’ll take a look at Carnival’s expanded itineraries through to 2027, including Carnival Luminosa’s unique sailings to destinations like San Francisco and Tokyo. Is Carnival doing enough to support Aussie cruisers? Let’s find out!
