Carnival Cruise Line is an incredible luxury cruise travel fleet that caters to all types of cruisers. Families, couples and groups of friends of all ages are welcome on board their boats and the entertainment is designed for everyone.
Carnival’s fleet currently contains 22 ships that are located around the world and are the most popular in the Caribbean. Some of the ship names include legend, victory, glory, pride, destiny, dream and paradise.
Carnival has finally arrived in Australian waters offering short voyages to the east coast of Australia but also to the beautiful islands of the South Pacific.
Currently, only the Carnival Spirit departs from Sydney, Australia, and this is the ship I had the privilege of experiencing. Carnival Legend is also coming to Australia soon.
There are 10 levels on Carnival Spirit including multiple restaurants, day spa, fitness center, 2 main pools for all ages, and an adults-only area that also includes a pool and jacuzzi.
The entire ship is adorned with magnificent works of art, structures and paintings, particularly in the Grand Atrium which has a multi-tiered painting that is around 6 levels high.
What makes this Carnival Spirit stand out and appeal to both kids and the young at heart is its 50-foot water slide known as Green Thunder. It is located on deck 10 and counts down from 3. The water slide is so fast that I couldn’t even tell you if the platform fell or moved back or what.
All restaurants on board are paid for within the price of the cruise ticket, except for the steakhouse called Noveau. Eating here costs $35 per person and is worth the price as you get 3 plates of top quality meats. Make sure you arrive hungry, these meals are huge.
The main restaurant also offers 3 courses and table service, and almost all of the waiters are outgoing, fun, and a little crazy, all in the name of fun. After dinner is served, the waiters may sing and/or dance, which helps lift the mood for the evening’s fun times.
There are also many bars around the ship, including a karaoke bar, swim-up bars, the casino, the Shanghai Bar, the grand atrium, and waiters who walk the decks and come directly to you for orders.
Finally, it is also worth checking out the onboard entertainment, most of which takes place in the Pharaoh’s Palace, which is located on decks 2, 3 and 4. Here you can see magicians, hypnotists, dancers, concerts of big band and more.
Directly below the palace is the Punch-liner Comedy Club, where 4 to 5 comedians perform, most of which include an adult-only show.
All in all, Carnival Spirit lived up to its reputation and makes the trip as comfortable and entertaining as possible. I would definitely book with Carnival again and would highly recommend it to first time travelers.
