From watching all of John H's videos of his walkies around the Carnival Luminosa in Palermo, this is what I discovered:
The current Deck Plan mentions the Limelight Lounge fwd-ish on Deck 3. John said it will actually be the Punchliner Comedy Club.
The Grill will have "available" a delicious burger (not Guy's branded), an addition of Meat Pies. Does available mean included or an upcharge?
Pizzaria Del Capitano and Deli will be there.

Botero's Donna will remain in the Atrium. Problem there is that in Australia you can't pre-book your Shore Excursions like you can in the US. So embarkation day in the Atrium is VERY crazy busy. And the Cruise Director also has large events in the Atrium. For these reasons I think the Botero will be in the way.

No mention of the future of waterslides or waterworks.
With one less pool than the Spirit has and no waterslides or waterworks, can you imagine a Queensland Hot Summer School Holidays heading out to the South Pacific tropics? That lido pool will be PACKED.
Adults will have Serenity Deck, but kids will pack out the lido pool.

Yeah Having The Piano Bar where Alchemy was on Spirit Class.

Having the Punchliner where The Piano bar is, Alchemy will be around where the Games Arcade is..

But not having a Red Frog Pub, crazy. It's the right size. But the band entertainment area is going to as big as Fountain cafe area, SportsBar & Red Frog. There supposed to have trivia there during the day, massive dance floor..

Is that via an app or mobile web?

BA's are showing as sold out, so I clicked on the next cheapest on deck 7.

 

Came up as $446pp, but no solo add-on. So, a deck 7 balcony near the aft lift for 7 nights solo for $446.

In all steps of the booking process for me, it shows taxes and port charges as included in the fare.

 

Shame I can't go.

There current promo K5Y is restricted, and isn't available to everyone. Do you have access to that promo?

I don't, I TRIED everything. I got my Planner and another TA to try to use this Rate Code and others that I was told about but nope not linked to my VIFP. Damnit. I want to go on this one.

Wahoooooo I just booked it. I wasn't getting the offer on the PC so I tried logging in via my phone and I just held a cabin. One of those 4K solo insides that look at the lifeboats for AUD $853. And with my FCC and $900obc it's essentially a free cruise. Yahoo.

I shouldn't say I could get the same cabin type, no solo supp,  for $339 then? 😁

How do you get access to that promo , only can get the $853 now ?

Ask Carnival. I just got lucky to have it, still no idea why I was among the lucky ones. It has nothing to do with casino, or anything else I can think of.

Ha ha ha no you shouldn't lol. I'm happy. Yesterday a normal interior was $490 more. 

Just got an email from Carnival they have some good solo prices, insides for 7 days at $853 in an obstructed cabin and twin prices are double that
