Ahhhh my favourite, back from the ole Fairstar days.

I just read on FB that they've pulled the pin and headed for home. Shame.

Yes cruising has re-started in Australia, but no Carnival ships here yet. Just P&O (Pacific Explorer and this weekend the Pacific Encounter starts) and the Coral Princess. Anyone got any more information on the Luminosa and it's start in Brisbane?

I just found this post in CC by user @thecruiserofships (thank you to them) in the Carnival section....... It looks like Carnival is getting close to releasing Carnival Luminosa sailing itineraries/dates for bookings. The docking space is now reserved for Seattle sailings and a couple dates have appeared in the Carnival Hub App. The tentative cruise dates from Seattle are as follows: May 2023; 4, 11, 18, 25 June 2023: 1, 8, 15, 21, 28 July 2023: 6, 13, 20, 27 August 2023: 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 September 2023: 7, 14 http://www.embarkandaway.com/general-cruise-blog/carnival-luminosa-2023-alaska-cruises https://claalaska.com/?page_id=1250 (primary source of the above dates - includes other port docking calendars too) Most of the Seattle dates are departures on Thursday to sail what would be 7 night cruises. There is at least one 6 day and one 8 day mixed in. The Carnival Hub app currently shows November 6, 2022 and May 4, 2023 which could correspond to the first Brisbane date and then the first Alaska cruise from Seattle date. With docking space reserved and work starting to take place on the Carnival Hub App, hopefully it won't be too much longer before the Carnival Luminosa is open for bookings. I'm personally curious to see what work the ship gets (and does not get) since there will be a minimal amount of time for Carnival to make updates to the ship......

@arxcards

Nothing much yet, waiting, waiting. All I have heard is that they go on sale before the end of August, so in the next two weeks. I have four FCC's to book so they better get their skates on. The value-add bonus OBC offer expires 31/10/22. COME ON CARNIVAL!!!

LOL. BTW the 22nd August Coral Cruise you want to B2B with is on sale too.

It is on sale, I just received and email. But I can't share from whom so you'll just need to go through your own TAs.

P&O is having another Flash Sale today. Some great bargains to be had even in the school holidays.

Yeah we were hitting the dance floor on deck while the band Cruise Control were playing. And yes we could see Irene and Frank upstairs. So anywhere on Lido would be fun.

Thanks so much for mentioning Irene and myself Sparky. It was great to meet you and the gang and I loved the song. We should have asked the guys doing their sound check to play the Teddy Bears song lol.

You will need to be wowed by Coral in the first 4-5 days of our cruise.

What's the deadline date for you to cancel for a refund?

You are bagging people for wanting to wear a suit on their cruise, and this profile pic shows a person wearing a suit. Go figure.

Yep watching it myself as well. At least our 3:30pm catch up won't clash with sailaway.

So is Nick.

Irene can you please let us know when you leave? Then we will have a bit of an idea when we might leave on Sunday. Thanks.

In all of your excitement @Sparky74 she is wanting to be on the cruise TOMORROW 23rd June, not ours. lol.

I do know of someone who tested + a few days ago, and now isn't going on that cruise (23rd June). But if the waitlist had come through I am sure you would have heard by now.

If it's open everyone. Seems it might be open every day.

Exactly. So annoying. I have three FCC's to booked before October and I was planning out all my school holidays cruises, to then have that taken away between April and October. Ggrrgghhhhhh.

It needs a LOT DONE. One less pool that the Spirit/Legend, no waterslides, that stupid Atrium art piece has to go, and they better put in a Red Frog Pub and a Guys Burgers.

JH just mentioned that this stupid thing is staying. It's in the way of all the Fun Activities that occur in the Atrium. Get rid of it.

It is AUD $16 for PLUS and AUD $22 for Premier.

Something doesn't sound right with this. I just checked and the Premier Package includes wines up to value of AUD$22 per glass. Or was this on a US cruise?
