4 Nights Tangalooma - Moreton Island From Sydney Cruise

Great first cruise experience

Great first cruise experienceWe 7 families embarked the Carnival Splendour to Nounmea and mystery Island. The trip was more successful and fun than expected. Endless entertainment and food options. Food quality was very decent. Staff are hard-working and friendly. From the Black Pearl restaurant, Dedy and the Indonesian team was the best server ever. Casino was very fun for the dads. Plenty of public seating options where we can organise our own card games. The mums enjoyed the fitness and massage sessions. Albeit a bit expensive, the massage was worth it. Since we have many kids in the party, they can largely entertain themselves, so only occasionally we send them to the kids clubs. The various formal dressing nights were fun. Embarking was ok. Debarking was way faster than we thought. The islands were beautiful and pristine, except for Noumea which didn't offer much of a tropical vibe. We will be back

Carival ships for everyone .

Genuine friendliness from all the crew. Not many sightings of officers. Ship is clean. Brightly decorated, this time in Halloween theme. Food options are plentiful, varied and delicious. Daily activities fun. Although this is a family fun ship, I didnt feel overrun by youth. Theatre entertainment at night could be improved onboarding upon by adding production shows. Comedians in bars were fun and tasteful. Adult only pool at aft was wonderful. Centre pools were full of children., loud music and noise. Casino is large. Enough drink waiters. Drink packages pricey. Bar prices average. Inside cabin bigger than normal. Put the TV on ship Cam for weather view. . My choice to miss the fresh air of a balcony, but I was only a lift away from the many open decks. Ship is not huge so easy to Navigate and get around. Carnival is on par with Princess. Better than P&O or MSC.. I was impressed by the cruise experience and would book again.

A great, cheap, first trip

For a first time cruise and a much-needed break, it was great. Yes. as other reviewers state, it is a very Aussie bogan cruise, which i don't mind. You get what you pay for!!! I'm only 25 and single, and its demographic is clearly seniors and families. Regardless of that, you will make friends and everything is simple and easy. I am disabled, so travel can be a daunting thing. Everything was great and accessible. I do not use a wheelchair, but if you do, you will need to be aware of accessible bathrooms as general access bathrooms are not accessible. Just due to space. Other than that, everything was up to aus standards. Food and drink was perfect and prices of alcohol was really not that bad considering a beer is 18 bucks in Sydney. I would for sure reccomend it for anyone looking to get into cruising. It has made me ready and excited to do more intensive cruises overseas. A standout of this cruise was all the really nice staff especially Komang and drinks attendants on the aft deck 9 serenity bar.
