I think you made a valid point.  Reading price.   I think it is cheaper now than P and O and I have read on CC that you have now to pay for various things, like the Shows?   You get what you pay for but given if you want to cruise in Oz in winter, there is not much choice.

P&O have additional shows in Black Magic that come with a charge. They can also be done as a dinner and a show package for a bit extra as well. The typical shows in the theatre are still included in your fare.

 

P&O food is a bit different, but mostly that way as long as I can recall - charges for ice cream, pizza, burgers etc, and now in the dining room for premium plates and eggs benny at breakfast. Carnival seems to be the reverse that many avoid the dining room and choose to eat burgers, pizza & soft serve instead.

I have a Lifou port scheduled on Carnival Splendor in a few week's time. Haven't heard it has been cancelled so fingers crossed.

It will be good though to include ports of Mare and Isle of Pines again in future as both amongst my favourites.

Looks like you are the next scheduled visit - 25th August. If those plans are about to change, you should hear about it soon.
