Carnival Splendor Singapore to Australia in August 2024
gazpam replied to cruiser3775's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I am on one of those social media sites for another cruise, but have decided not to join for this cruise, as some nasty stuff can come up. Yes, you can report it and it is deleted if the admin has missed it, but I had one where I became the brunt of some trolling. It was someone who had joined as anonymous, at that stage anonymous was allowed on that site. It made me feel quite sick, so after reporting, and admin changed to no anonymous posts, and removed the posts, I turned the group off for the rest of the month. Most people were great, and so much help was given, but I prefer CC. Certainly, since covid the CC posts have gone down, and as you say social media now is used by more people for posting. -
Carnival Splendor Singapore to Australia in August 2024

Hi Folk. We are doing this cruise as the return from Syd /Sing in July, after Splendor drydock. As we will be in Singapore for 3 weeks in May /June, we are thinking of flying over to the Philippines for a week or so, (to catch up with friends we met on a cruise) during the 3 weeks Splendor is in drydock. We try to get to Singapore once or twice each year, so are very familiar with it. Love going there. We did a similar trip on Spirit, when she went up for drydock a few years ago. While in Singapore, one day we caught a bus around to the dry dock where Spirit was getting refurbed, just for a look-see. Of course, couldn't get near, but could see her from the hill. It was a good way to see more of Singapore that we hadn't been to. Lovely Black and White colonial houses out that way. I am on a Princess CC for a cruise in April this year. a lot of people joined in the last couple of months, so still plenty of time for people to get on board. -
That was a nice simple fix. Wished that was all ours was. They were getting maintenance in to try and fix our problem, but we weren't prepared to take the chance that it would come back again, given there was a possibility of more rough weather. I hadn't even considered that the weather was rough that first night. (Have been through cyclone, and lows in the past) But the services guy told me it was.😆

Some of it was in the timber trim around the balcony door. Not the gentle noise of a creaking ship, but, clunking and banging. Because it was a little rough when we left Sydney, the cabin bits decided to protest. Was suggested that it was only because of the weather that night, and would probably be okay when voyage was smooth sailing. But 28 days around our coast, did not bode well. So glad we decided to move. Missed the Freo farewell, etc, being on the wrong side of the ship, but happy with our quiet cabin.
