Who Else is Excited about Carnival Luminosa!!!

[Peachestravels]

Just read on Carnival website the Luminosa will be sailing to Alaska!!! I am very excited they added another ship.

A hand me down from Costa does not excite me much.

But any NEW ship added to an aging fleet is an improvement.

I’m definitely looking into booking her first TP. Gotta budget in the flight though.

Look at it as a 2009 Spirit class ship replacing a 1990's Fantasy class ship. Carnival needs some smaller ships but doesn't seem interested in building them. I thought acquiring a smaller ship that is newer than all of their other smaller ships was significant. I'm not going to rush out and book it but I do think it's an important addition.

I'm very excited but was kind of disappointed to hear that it will be missing several Carnival staples such as Guys Burgers and Blue Iguana.

I plan on booking an Alaska cruise as soon as they are available.

Kind of agree, it sure fills a niche.  Not on my A list, but not far off.  Want to seeand feel the difference

Their fleet has jumped light years in the past twnety months.  Not the way they imagined it would happen, but at the end of the day, it matters not.

I haven't checked their itinerary but if they sail out of Long Beach, I will give her a try for sure.

We booked an Alaska cruise for next June!

[Prometheus1]

Booked on the April 13th sailing! Now to save for that airfare.....

[Essiesmom]

Love Spirit class.  If she sailed from the East Coast, I would go.  Not going to Australia, done Alaska twice.  EM

No interest in going to where the Roo's hop to board.

Booked a Cruise for 11 July 6.  Taking children and grandchildren ages 12-21.  Hope there is enough to keep them busy.  Hubbie and I have been wanting to do this for a long time.

I'm sure they will have a good time but you do realize that there's no water park, ropes course, slides and the other bells and whistles.

Anyone have any information on what there is to do on the Luminosa for kids ages 11 - 21 to do? 

Thanks.

I doubt anyone here has been on it yet. This page might be helpful. It looks like Camp Ocean with a playground....pool...basketball court...arcade.

I booked the Alaska cruise on the Luminosa June 21-28, 2023. I am excited about the trip but was a little disappointed that they are missing Guy's burgers and something else.
