My Hopes for the P&O to Carnival Cruise Line Australia Transition

After my recent cruises on Carnival Splendor and Pacific Explorer, I got thinking about what things both P&O Australia and Carnival Australia do well. In this video I will discuss what I think they should learn and adopt from each other. #cruise #cruiseship #cruisingcarnival #cruising #carnivalsplendor #carnivalluminosa #pacificadventure #carnivaladventure #pacificencounter #carnivalencounter #...

Carnival Splendor 12-day Cruise Vlog. Lifou, Mystery Island & Port Vila
We did the Thing 1 and Thing 2 birthday breakfast on the Panorama in December and were NOT impressed. Food wasn’t good, interaction with the characters was fleeting at best, and overall a big disappointment to my 5-yo granddaughter who had been looking forward to it for months. There were many good things to take its place though!
Same as cabin 10145. Good enough for 2 ..more would be way to cramped
I agree 100%! Thanks for watching
It is a lot better than Splendors kids club, i can see why Allira wanted to go to kids club here more than carnival…
There is a lot more as far as play ground and toys… seems less sterile and more comfortable.
Did you film this video on last years Halloween cruise? If so I was on that one to. Best little change they made in dry dock was those beside lamps having usb ports at the bottom which will come in handy to charge things up. Nice cabin you had by the way
I stayed in an in pride cabin on that Halloween cruise And one little new feature I found was lighting at the bottom of the wardrobe door, not sure if it’s in balcony cabins or other cabins either but it helped big time not having to turn on the cabin lights to find the bathroom at night
Yes I did! Not actually Halloween but October. They made some great upgrades for sure.
@ the changed the carpet in a few areas. Modified one small area of the casino. Put in a shaded area around the bar on deck 11.
Nice cabin I know you enjoyed 🤗 thanks for sharing 😎
It’s sad saying farewell to this ship but we have built some incredible memories on her.
Get yourself some mini walkie talkies. Reliable and works all over the ship. Good way to communicate with other friends.
I could be wrong but I believe some cruise lines have banned them? 🤷🏻♀️ Thankfully the chat works great on the Carnival Hub app.
Last day 😭😭😭😭
Always a sad day. 😔
Showing her age here Explorer, for me n you it would be ok but with the kids it would be very cramped, especially on a longer cruise with nowhere for luggage, weird they won’t fit under beds like carnival
Funny thing is on this cruise, in this cabin, my suitcase does fit under the bed. 🤷🏻♀️
Try having to fly from nz to now cruise.
I’m so sorry. It sucks for everyone not in Sydney or Brisbane.
Thank you for making the video. You spoke very well. I am hearing impaired and struggle to hear a lot of people but I had no trouble hearing you. Well done. Keep making more videos. It is great to hear people’s opinions of the ship. I will be going on that ship as my first ever cruise on a cruise ship soon. I am very worried about movements and shuddering on board
Thank you for watching and I’m glad you were able to clearly hear my video. I hope you got something out of it and that it helps build excitement for your upcoming cruise. I have plenty more videos and vlogs that may help you out. Don’t worry about the movements from the ocean and usually there isn’t any shuddering. The ships swaying usually isn’t bad, most of the time you forget you are on a ship. Of all our days at sea, we only have a few we really felt. The key is not to focus on it and just enjoy yourself. Take your medication before the ship leaves to be safe.
Love your energy! You’re such fun!
Thanks gorgeous. I just love dancing. 💃🏻 🫶🛳️ it’s involuntary body movements. 😂
@ as it should be! Happiness right there!
Get it babe 💃😍 Love watching you being you, having fun and letting loose 💗🥰
Being the crazy dancing lady 🤪💃🏻🛳️
We have a cruise booked with Royal Caribbean with our kids, l noticed you seem to do alot with Carnival cruise lines. Do you have any with Royal Caribbean on your list?
Thank you for watching. Not yet but we are hoping to. Unfortunately they have been a little out of our price range especially once we add the cost of flights for our family. I have been looking though and will keep my eyes out for a good deal.
I completely get where your coming from as Carnival's prices were more enticing, given it was our kids first cruise l was concerned about seasickness so wanted to go as big as l could.
@ I understand that too! Although our first few cruises my son had a couple of days were he got a little nauseous, the last 10 odd cruises we haven’t had any sea sickness issues within our family even with rough seas. As soon as the right opportunity comes up we will though.
I agree with you i live in Adelaide and going on my first cruise out of Brisbane airfares are $1100 plus nights accommodation plus a seven night cruise not cheap
It’s a real shame isn’t it. Hopefully we get something soon down here.
Any thing would be great
you do know that carnival splendor was meant to be a costa ship before being handed over to carnival?
I did actually. I’ve mentioned it in a few other videos how we don’t have an authentic Carnival ship here in Australia.
@CruiseCrazedFam new sub just started watching last few vids
@@RayJohnson1980 thank you. 🙏 I hope you are enjoying them?
protocol person using machine get off a machine and then get a wet wipe and wipe your machine down where touched and dispose of wet wipe in the bin
Yes absolutely!… apparently not everyone has got the memo though. Lol
also note the chefs table is now 199 don't be fooled by the $167 on front page because they add $32 gratuities in the back end before you pay
That’s good to know. Hope to try it one day still.
@CruiseCrazedFam booked for Feb 4
price for F555 has gone up to $77/adult
Yeah it was when we boarded in October. I’ll do an updated video later this year.
Love Reinier as a cruise director. Hope we will have him one day too 😊
He was a lot of fun and great with the kids! He always made an attempt to talk and dance with them.
Luminosa only sails seasonally out of Brisbane. If it gets sent down to Melbourne, it will no longer sail from Brisbane at all and would need to do longer repositioning cruises for its USA season. But you're right in that it makes no sense to sail this ship thru the summer tropics.
Thanks for watching, Yeah I’m aware of that but Brisbane still have encounter year round and we have nothing. Being Australia’s second city, I really think we need something down here, just need our government to try to attract ships rather than pushing them all away.
I have a million allergies. You should have seen our waiter’s poor face when I said “yeah, everything man”… Shellfish, bivalves, avocado, bananas, Figs, strawberries, kiwi, sulphites. The poor guy. Thankfully steak & salad is safe & easy. 🤣🤣
Omg, I could imagine! Sometimes it’s just easier to ask for something you know is safe.
P&O have always looked after my low sodium diet they have always been excellent with it, I have been on Carnival and they didnt know much on what to do about my diet, so what I ended up doing I would do the guessing game with the food onboard Carnival and Princess for dining and it always turned out well and had no problems and eat the sugar free desserts and they are nice on Carnival I have been on Luminosa and loved her they looked after me well and i am going to try Splendor this winter and see what she is like. I am doing the Aussie Classics Cruise this week i will be on this Friday woohoo 🥳🥳🥳🥳
It’s good to hear your experience also. Usually I try to default to food on the menu that is least likely to have dairy and usually I’m pretty safe. Low sodium should be easy. I just really think they need to work on training their crew more on allergies, it shouldn’t be that difficult really. Either way, I’m sure you will still have an amazing time on Splendor like we do! And
You will make a great cruise director 🤩
If I could have my time over again I would have loved that!
Hi Ami, I hope you dont mind me asking but the room style at 23.57 mins, do you know if that is only for balcony cabins. We love the idea of us and our 2 kids having that style room but we go for an interior. We have only been able to find when booking Carnival Splendor the king bed with the 2 pull down bunks on either side which is super cramped. ❤ love your videos
Thank you for watching. Yeah that’s why we avoid interior on Splendor. We haven’t done one yet but that’s because we know how cramped that layout would be. We would rather spend a little more for the layout of an ocean view or balcony. It’s much better and gives everyone more room to move. We would only do interior if it was just two of us or if it was a short cruise and there was a decent price gap.
Very honest opinion babe, and I agree… I hope they merge together improving the cruise experience on these amazing ships, Melbourne does need at least one ship for the cruising season… Great vid 😊
Thanks! It will be interesting to see how it all works out.
Don't get rid of butter!!!!! At least have a choice of both. Margarine is disgusting. Apparently it's only a couple of molecules away from plastic!!!!
The choice would be lovely! We use Nuttelex at home and apparently that’s what they keep on P&O.
They shouldjust have bothe
@ agree. 👌
They just need to offer both
Really enjoyed this video, not sure what to expect on Encounter on the change over date, 29 March ex Brisbane, the 80’s cruise. I know Explorer is leaving the fleet, I’m really hoping Encounter is in better shape, especially the gym. What you have shown here on Explorer is just unacceptable. I agree, they’ve given up. Love your attitude regarding maintenance, if you see something wrong or not working report it. Issues are dealt with quicker when passengers are proactive with reporting, and it’s appreciated. Excited for the 80’s cruise!
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. That’s super exciting, our 80s cruise was epic!
This merger is just so messy and disappointing - there’s a total lack of investment in the transaction of the P&O fleet. Not to mention the ghost of P&O is going to awkwardly linger on for years years until the ships are retired or properly renovated. Just another large corporation with an appetite to drain their customers of money for the least investment possible.
There is definitely lack of consistency throughout the Carnival fleet already but even more so after the merger. It’s a good thing for loyal P&O customers that not too much changes but it’s definitely not your typical Carnival experience. Either way, we will go in with and open mind and I’m sure we will still have a great experience.
Great detail. Awesome
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Ami, we attended the military forum on carnival splendor last September. It was nice to get a free lapel pin badge for attending, a nice touch.
Perfectly said, it was a nice touch. It’s always great to see these big corporations giving back to the community and their customers.
I totally agree!! Give us something!!!!! lol. We have the carnival adventure booked in May. I’ve only ever been on Splendor so will be interesting being on a different ship
SOMETHINGGGG…. Lol. I’m keen to try Carnival Adventure after the takeover. 🤔🛳️🙏
Yeah it’s only a 4 day one but I’m definitely looking forward to it!!! I’ll beg them to please give us SOMMEEETHIINNNGGG!!!! lol
I sailed this ship in 2001 when she was the Dawn Princess. Roundtrip southern Caribbean from San Juan PR. Was almost brand new back then!
Oh wow, I bet she was stunning at the time. 🛳️🫶
Hello Cruise Crazed Fam, Sorry you got sick and couldn;t join the family. She said Yes! and that 80's Glow party looked like a lot of fun. We saw you on the live and want to show our support for your channel. We are new on the scene and enjoy meeting other content creators. We've Subbed. Happy 2025
Thanks so much for coming to check out my channel guys! I’ll return the favour. This was an epic trip but it certainly did not all go as planned, definitely some highs and lows but all round it was still a great cruise.
@@CruiseCrazedFam Thank you, we appreciate that very much. We are looking forward to more fun videos.
Nice tour, thanks. Like 27 from new sub. Look forward to more 🙏
Thank you 🙏
She’s a fun lil old ship, sad it was my last one her
You get to see her again and say farewell but it is sad that was your last trip.
Wow you looked gorgeous for Gatsby night ❤
Thanks so much! It was a fun night. 🛳️❤️💃🏻
Is it worth getting a drink package? Or are cocktails under $20 each
The drinks range from roughly $16-24. It’s really up to the individual. We only have a couple of drinks a day and often we don’t drink on port days so for us it isn’t worth it but for others who can consistently drink a decent amount it would be. I hope this helps.
great job with all the vlogs, but a little sad this is the last of the series, so how long until the next one? what plans have CCF got for 2025?
Thank you! Yes unfortunately that series didn’t end the greatest but the good thing is we have had 2 awesome short cruises since and we have a couple more P&O & Carnival cruises this year as well as Princess and Celebrity! It is an exciting year for us!
Great tips! I am on deck 1 so I hope I can survive the stairs lol!!!
That will certainly do it! 😂😮💨
Wow new subscriber here! My daughter is also a gym manager, hopefully your videos will inspire me to get fit. Just saw one of your shorts on tips to stay fit on the ship! I’m sailing in 2 weeks. Thanks for the video!
Welcome to the Cruise Crazed Fam!! Thanks for watching. That’s awesome your daughter is a gym manager too. I’m sure you will have a great time. 🛳️💃🏻
@ I watching your packing video now and noticed a AF Drink bottle haha, my daughter is Leah Woods you might know her? If so, small world!!
@ yeah I manage an AF. I’m guessing your daughter does too? There is over 500 clubs Australia wide and we are all franchised so I don’t know too many any other club managers unfortunately.
@ yes she manages the Tallawong gym, and previously was at Mt Druitt, she’s only 20! She loves her job there :)
Thanks for the video and the down to earth look. Have what I think is P&O/Carnivals last cruise out of Perth coming up and just wanted to see how things were going from someone who'd sailed recently.
Thank you for watching, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. We were on Pacific Explorer a couple of weeks ago and again next week, unfortunately I’m a bit behind on vlogs but they are coming soon. Overall, we had great cruises on her and the current entertainment staff and performers are amazing! Unfortunately though, the ship itself does feel rather tired and a little like they are letting it go. As long as you are going on there and enjoying the experience rather than focusing on the condition of the ship, you will have an incredible time.
Rainier is my second favourite cruise director behind Savannah… Was sad this is was over, but the next big family cruise will be even more amazing and exciting, and I can’t wait to experience it again with you 😘
Hopefully soon! 🤞
only had Rainier, he was pretty cool, so far he's my fav as my first and only CD, waiting for them to announce who is after Siman for our May cruise!
Isn’t that arrival into Sydney just amazing? Great video series but it sucks you were so sick.
It’s so beautiful! We are so lucky to have it here in Australia. Thank you for watching the series, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a very dramatic series. 🛳️🫶😮💨
What a great moment - congrats Nam Nam and Katie! Sorry to hear you got sick on this trip and missed out on some of the cruise; getting sick on holidays is so cruel
It was so special for them. So happy for them both… just spewing (literally) that I missed it. It is what it is but I’m just shattered it was on our big family cruise.
It's such a kick in the guts when Ur sick on holiday and everyone is having a good time (but u). U just feel robbed.. great vlog tho!
Certainly did feel like that. That’s life though right? It’s still fun to look back on all the good times we had though.
Congrats on over 1K subs! Found your channel from your Carnival campaign (because I followed Rob and Ali) and it’s great to have another Australian based cruise channel to follow! Hopefully you enjoy your Princess and Celebrity cruises this year; I haven’t been on Celebrity, but I’ve been on Princess a couple of times already and although they don’t have waterslides or rock climbing walls, the kids we see on those cruises seem to have fun, so hopefully you’re kids will enjoy it. So cool hearing about your story and how you got started, and here’s to bigger things (and more cruises) for your family and the channel in 2025!
Hi Patrick! Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. Rob & Ali are great, I have watched them for years. Yeah, Princess will be interesting, it’s my parent’s favourite cruise line but it’s a short enough cruise that hopefully the kids won’t have time to get bored. I appreciate your support and I’m excited to see what comes of this year. ☺️
Going on my first cruise in May. The ending of vlog makes me sad. My friend said "yep that's the feeling you get when the cruise ends"
Truthfully, it’s always a sad moment but that just means you had a great time and it’s time to book another! Haha
That last night was so super rough! I really enjoyed that show with the ribbons so very clever!it’s always disappointing to leave the ship. Glad you started feeling better!
Was so great to meet you guys. It was rough but thankfully it didn’t make me feel any worse than I already did. I missed this show but have seen it once before. I’m glad Peter could capture it.
Great video! With back to back cruises, do you get to stay on the ship or must you disembark and come back on? How does that all work?
Thanks for watching. Depends on your itinerary. If one is international you will most likely have to get off to go through customs. Both of ours were domestic so we didn’t have to get off the ship but we did to meet our family and friends. ☺️
Congratulations Katie and Nam Nam, beautiful moment with Rainier on stage 💗 I was so sad at the 80’s night and Whitney came on for you and you weren’t there 😢 Another time 🙏
It was beautiful, so happy for them both. I know, Whitney comes on and you know I go crazy. Plenty more Whitney outbursts to come. 🫶
Thank you so much!!! 😊
