Hans and Brett - Florida Good morning! We have been invited to take this cruise with a group. We’re frequent cruisers on Princess and occasional on others, but it has been decades since our only Carnival voyage. Wondering about shipboard activities, especially on the many sea days. Do you have an example or two of daily newsletters you could post here?Looks like there are outdoor movies (and indoor?), and I’m sure the usual trivia, etc. Enrichment lectures?

Pocahontas FW Posted December 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We booked today. Still wondering about the schedule of activities, because the booking agent asked when we want to dine. What time do we need to eat to catch the first show (entertainers)? Thanks! Barbara & Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara & Scott I did a journeys cruise on the Venezia in October. There was plenty to do on sea days. Many themed trivias, some exceptional karaoke, afternoon as well as evening comedians doing family and adult shows, shows nightly in the theater around 7 and 9, game shows, bingo, a throwback day with games from back in the day, coffee talks with crew members, movies on the lido deck and some afternoon movies in the theater, sports on tvs in the sports bar, casino, morning stretch, dance classes, lots of varied musicians and singers performing afternoon and evening in different areas of the ship. The cruise director was exceptional as well hosting themed functions throughout. I’m not sure you could do early fixed seating in the dining room and still make the first show. We’re Lido people and quick eaters so we’d go early show, late comedian or the opposite. And when they say the comedian is doing an adult show, they mean it. We had sea day brunch offered in the dining room on sea days as well. That and the anytime dining uses an app to request a table and it tells you when your table is ready. The Luminosa is like the Venezia so there will probably be smart elevators. Push the floor you want and repeat for how many people you are. There are no buttons inside the elevator so get on the one it tells you to, not the one that opens first. This was a nightmare the first day because people were just crowding on anything that opened. There’s a monitor playing the instructional film by the elevator banks. By day 2, no waiting, no crowding. I hope this is enough information. I don’t keep the daily programs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Coast gal 727 Posted April 1 #11 Share Posted April 1 This website robandali.net have tons of Luminosa info and videos, they are also on YouTube. I’ve been on her twice this year for short 4 day trips in balcony cabins and really excited about the 29 day transpacific in April 2025. I also received a casino offer too good to refuse 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalGee64 Posted May 6 #12 Share Posted May 6 Morning all, Mal & Lex here from Cairns. We did the Seattle-Brisbane Luminosa transpacific in 2023 and enjoyed it so much we booked this cruise while we were still onboard. It’ll be great to only have a two-hour flight the night before a Journeys repo for a change… 😄👍🍻🍻🇦🇺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just chatted about this. I will tell them to jump on-line. They will be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocahontas FW Posted August 26 #24 Share Posted August 26 Hi, Suzanne! Good to hear from you! I have been meaning to call Jackie in the last couple of days to see how much the hurricane has affected her. Do you live in the same area of the Big Island?
