CDaze71

Sorry Sparky, I accidentally logged in on my old profile as they asked for my email address. Its CDaze.

Yes still mandatory. Lots of FB comments of people being either denied boarding or moved to another area with a phone to purchase correct insurance. I went with QANTAS insurance and mine was checked and ok-ed.

I just take clothes that don't need ironing and after 28 cruises I've never ironed. And I do dress up on Elegant / Formal Nights.

Nope, you have to send it off to the crew.

Did you happen to go to the Sunset Bar AT Sunset time? Hoping the bar opening hours have improved since the inaugural cruise. I went for sunset cocktails but they were closing before sunset, go figure.

Leave the Tux behind. I like dressing up but not a lot of other very dressy up people on Carnival. You'll have two Elegant Nights.

I did eat breakfast in the MDR but don't know if they have it as I always order Eggs Benny.

Yep.

Definitely AUD I've cruised on the Luminosa already.

I just disembarked the LUMO today also.

I tested Negative on a RAT for a couple of days after my symptoms had started (from Coral Princess cruise) before I eventually tested Positive. So it could still be COVID. Best wishes.

No Guys Burger Joint on the Luminosa, but they will have an included burger option within the Lido Grill/Buffet. I will be onboard on Sunday for the first cruise.

Yayyyy Julie, that's fantastic news. Maybe get off and stretch you legs and get some fresh air.

@Cbtours oh no that's bad news about Frank, it certainly is spreading. Hope you stay negative and I hope he recovers soon.

Just book it as the super bargain price might go up, and get Carnival to apply the FCC BEFORE Monday as it's the 31st. You can put a free hold on it for about 98 hours or something. That's what I did. If you can't get through on the phone, send an email.

Julie do you have to quarantine for 5 more days from your positive test date (yesterday) or your first symptoms date and iso of two days before?

Disagree. I went from a Mini Suite with Princess Plus to a P&O Interior no probs whatsoever.

Oh nooooo Julie, I'm so sorry you tested positive. Is Rolf negative? If he is, it's very possible in the next few days he could also test positive like what happened to us. Take care and keep us updated.

Nooooo Wayyyyyyy !!

I did this cruise 4 weeks ago. 1 x Formal Night, Bianco, Gatsby, and Back to School.

***BARGAINS*** There's still some very cheap SOLO Carnival Luminosa cruise deals at the moment. If you have a VIFP number and are aged over 55+. They seem to be different prices for different VIFP numbers so you will need to check specifically for you. But one example I found was: 13th November - 7 nights - $555 SOLO Interior with a window looking at the lifeboats age 55+. Code KSE Seniors Special.

Well this topic is interesting, as I have been considering buying the 100 Shares. BUT I will always book P&O Aust cruises only in a Flash Sale. I do also have four Carnival cruise booked too that were mostly very full priced fares. So now I am wondering if it is still worth buying and how to go about it.

Can someone please tell me, like I'm a Dummie, how to buy the 100 Carnival Shares? Where do I start?

There's also some bargain solo deals on the two Luminosa sailings before the above NZ one. 6th and 13th November. Look on Carnival's direct website. Price varies for VIFP and 55+ age.

Also the cruise I am on departing the 6th November on the Luminosa has dropped even further since I booked. Look direct on the Carnival website. Interior - $633 Balcony - $889. VIFP and 55 +
