But is also available to suite dwellers.

 

In our group we have 3 suites and 1 inside cabin. We bought FTTF for the inside guests so we can all board and tender together!

 

 

Cheers

Guests in Suites don't get Priority Tendering

Only soft drinks/water can be taken onboard Carnival Spirit & they MUST be part of your carry on luggage. Each guest can take a maximum of 12 bottles/cans no larger than 600mls. Rooms are usually available at 1330.

Th

ere may have been a medical evacuation.

It's NOT free regardless of the colour of your card.

Regardless of the size, 600mls or less only 12 containers of non alcoholic drinks can be taken onboard. The price of a can of soft drink onboard is $2.75.

So I've booked a Carnival cruise on the Carnival Spirit in March 2016. I have a 2.5 yr old who is not toilet trained. My travel agent is adamant Carnival will not accept children who are not toilet trained into the kids club. However I rang Carnival and they said they do accept children over two who are NOT toilet trained and will change their nappies. I know other cruise lines I.e. PandOra and Princess will not accept toilet trained children, but Carnival have stayed they do. Has anyone had any experience regarding Carnival and non-toilet trained children and can confirm either way what their policy is? Thanks

Your Travel Agent doesn't know what they are talking about. Kids 2 & over will be accepted in the Kids Club

if they aren't toilet trained. Nappies will be changed for kids up to 3.5 yrs old. You do have to supply the nappies & wipes.

If you don't usually drink bottled water you'll probably have no problems with the ship's water but may want some bottles to take ashore on port days. I'm not sure what Carnival charge on board but, yes, buying it before you go will be much cheaper. Coles have 12 packs of the 600ml Mt Franklin which for $8.79 and that is as good as any. Print out an extra luggage label and stick it on to the pack with clear packing tape and it will be delivered to your cabin with the rest of your luggage.

All drinks including water,

taken on Carnival Spirit or Carnival Legend MUST be part of your carry on luggage.

Personally I agree with a change for safety reasons, but in this case knowledge of the situation was available well prior to sailing, so there may be a case to answer.

Wasn't the cyclone forecast to travel in a south east direction (away from Vanuatu & New Caledonia) then it changed direction toward Vanuatu. Are you saying that knowledge of it changing direction was available well before sailing? If so when was this known?

The best place to get accurate information about Carnival Spirit is on the Carnival Australia social media page or on their website.

It is pleasing for the truth to be surfacing, sure things have not been the best for some but what was the alternative? Would people have been happy for their cruise to have been cancelled on Sunday or even have the departure delayed a few days, which wasn't possible as the ship needs to be back in Sydney on Sep. 14 for the next cruise. As for the pools, would anybody have complained if the pools had been filled with sea water containing god knows what before it left Singapore? Most experienced cruisers would know that any ship on it's 1st cruise out of dry dock is never finished,

that's just Murphy's Law :)

The dry dock is currently (1745 Sydney time Sat) being filled & the Spirit will float out in the next few hours

Serenity Deck is still Adults Only.

A persons status in the Carnival VIFP club remains the same regardless of where they book or join a cruise. A guest who is say Platinum in the USA would be Platinum on Carnival Spirit or Carnival Legend cruising out of Sydney, Australia.

You can't book a table for Your Time (Any Time) Dining. There are a couple of tables that could seat 11 people in the YTD section but if there were other large groups in the Dining Room before you you would either have to wait for a table to be available or have your group split up. Everyone in a group has to be ready to dine before they will allocate a table to you each night. If you chose Early or Late dining you will be allocated a table for your group at the time you chose (1730 or 1945). A problem that many groups have with YTD is everyone deciding on a time to eat each night. If you have fixed time dining you don't have that problem. If you do chose Early or Late a table will be allocated for the group & it doesn't matter if everyone turns up every night or not & the table is yours for the cruise.

Electronic cigarettes are treated the same as cigarettes on both Carnival Legend & Carnival Spirit. They can only be used in the designated smoking area on open decks 9 & 10 forward, starboard side.

All items on the Room Service Menu on Carnival Spirit & Carnival Legend are priced individually.

Do you believe every rumour that you hear? Why post rumours, you need facts to back them up.

You can smoke the cigarettes that you purchase from the Funshop onboard. Smoking is not permitted onboard Carnival Spirit or Carnival Legend from the time you board until the ship sails.

The 400 bus going in the opposite direction (to Burwood) stops at Rockdale station, about 15 mins from domestic airport or 10 minutes from international. Trains run frequently to Central from Rockdale, it's about 20 minutes.

The safes are the same on Carnival Legend as they are on the Spirit. Any card with a magnetic strip on it can be used, Fly Buys, club card, gift card, etc. Only the card that is used to lock the safe will open it.

Yes that is the car park on the left It is same day only parking, no long term parking is available.

All bottles of liquid are thoroughly checked & yes they can count.:)

Manuel Costa will leave when Dessi comes back on August 12. Manuel will be bringing Carnival Legend to Australia.

Carnival banned smoking on all balconies & anywhere inside on Carnival Spirit from the 1st cruise from Australia in October 2012.

This is the Official statement by Carnival this afternoon........ We’re deeply concerned to confirm that a valued member of the Carnival Spirit team is currently unaccounted for in spite of an extensive search of the ship earlier today. The search and rescue authorities have been notified and the ship has been turned round to look for the missing team member.

We’ll update Carnival Spirit’s guests on any change to their itinerary should it become necessary. Your thoughts as we do our best to locate the crew member are appreciated.
