Carnival Spirit (Australia cruises)

[helpmeremembermyusername]

We are going on Carnival Spirit 3rd march 2014. A couple of questions about this ship.

1. Is it true that you can't smoke on the balcony for this ship (hope this is a yes)

2. Have signed in on the roll call - would be good to see some more fellow travellers here

3. How do I get one of the pods in the serenity area, all my research shows that they get taken and people won't share/vacate for anything!!

4. Fellow traveller is gluten free - can we just advise MDR once on board

5. I have heaps more questions, but this will do for now

Thanks to everyone on this site, even us Aussie travellers get some great tips.:):):):)

I'm a bit confused....... I don't see a Carnival Spirit on their website in their fleet.....

From what I've read, Spirit is there or will be there and with some different rules and regs that she had stateside.

We stole it off you forever:D:D:D

 

It has gone through changes called "Ausification" lol and is now in the lonesome fleet of Carnival Australia:D

 

Ausification just means they remove all the things we Aussies like about US cruising and replaced them with all the things we hate about Australian cruising like lots more 4 berth cabins and much more expensive weak drinks:)

But you got an awesomely unique water slide.

Yes very unique because they are still trying to figure out how all the fold up beds fit into it at night:D:D:D

No, you can't smoke on balconies. There are designated smoking spots, didn't pay too much attention (I'm a non-smoker) but I know one side of the pool deck was smoking.

 

To get a pod in serenity, you need to get there early!

 

Definitely let the maître d know as soon as you get on. Or contact Carnival Aust before hand and ask for the MDR email.
