Would be nice, but been there, done that. We have done quite a few grand class, and as much as we love them, we want to try out the newer ones too. We have been trying to get onto Royal for a few years now - bloody covid. Time to update the signature with another 3 cruises (2 x Princess, 1 x Carnival). All short ones that use up very little leave for both of us, so that we can bank some time for another big holiday when everything has opened up again.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 15, 2022 #28 Share Posted June 15, 2022 They may be reverting back to the smaller ships if some ports are limiting the number of passengers. Some of the smaller Pacific Island ports might not allow the bigger ships and maybe even some of the smaller NZ ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, take away a year round Spirit and replace her with a 5 month ship that hasn't been Aussified, then spin it to make it seem like they are doing you a favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JohnGc Posted June 23, 2022 #45 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Carnival stated that " there will be modest updates to the Costa Luminosa to go to the Carnival fleet." What do you reckon that will include? and when will the full refurbishment take place.I was booked for October 2022 on the Spirit until they cancelled it. I took Carnivals offer and booked for the 4th Feb 2024. This I thought would give the cruising Covid situation time to get sorted out. I am hoping by the time Oct 2024 arrives the Luminosa will have been fully refurbished to a fun ship. Now I have reached the age of 80 yrs I am looking forward to a fun ship not a quiet one. As an ex Londoner would say " a good ole knees up " 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
