cruisecrazyaussie Posted October 31, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Looks like we will be a small group of cruisecritic members on the inaugural Carnival Luminosa cruise this Sunday! Most of us are from Queensland and I like to think that Rudi and I are honorary Queenslanders as we live just on the border! I hope that we can all meet sometime during our cruise and give a special welcome to Gloria and Raul from Miami. Any suggestions? Cheers Miriam and Rudi Edited October 31, 2022 by cruisecrazyaussie typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local Gold Coast bus goes to Tweed Heads. In addition our Coolangatta airport is half in NSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazyaussie Posted October 31, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Hi MMDown Under You must be close to the border yourself on the Queensland side. Yes, Coolangatta and Tweed Heads are known as Twin Towns as we are so intertwined. Will you be on the cruise too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisecrazyaussie Posted October 31, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 31, 2022 If we want this roll call to mean anything we need to start creating the feeling of a group. I hope you all agree. I suggest we introduce ourselves this time with first names and previous experience with Carnival. As for us, we are Miriam and Rudi from Tweed Heads and this will be our first Carnival cruise. I have cruised for a number of years mostly with Holland America and Princess but want try out Carnival Luminosa as it will be operating out of Brisbane for the summer months. We will be cruising with a couple who are first time cruisers. Over to you - parad1se, Suecanknit, duckdownunder59, Kelly3, paddydownunder and Ashanti. Hope to hear from you all.

I could not resist and have booked the same itinerary departing on Carnival Luminosa on 4th December. I have so missed cruising due to Covid and think that a coastal Queensland trip is good in the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy down under Posted October 31, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Hi Everyone, Sorry we have been a bit busy so only getting back on here now. We are Shay and Carol from Alexandra Headland on the Sunshine Coast. Previously from Brisbane and originally from Ireland. This will be our first Carnival cruise - nice and handy for a short break sailing from Brisbane. We have been cruising for quite a few years mainly on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Looking forward to meeting you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy down under Posted October 31, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just to add to my previous post. We will be on the open dining option so we can get together for dinner one night perhaps? Just wondering should we share our cabin numbers as a way of getting in contact after we board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazyaussie Posted November 1, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi Shay and Carol Look forward to meeting you both. I'm from Ireland too and I've been in Australia since 1977. Rudi and I are also on the open dining option though we usually eat our main meal in the middle of the day. It would be great to have an informal Meet and Greet for all on our roll-call on Monday (the morning after boarding). Maybe meet in the Ocean Plaza? I've not travelled with Carnival before so any suggestions would be welcome. Miriam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisecrazyaussie Posted November 3, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hi Everyone Sorry about the post above. I'm rather new to all of this and did not find a way to delete it! While only Kelly3 and paddydownunder have show an interest in a get-together, I still prepared to anchor a meeting place for us to meet. I will be in the Ocean Plaza (Deck 2) at a table close to the bar from 11-11.30am. I will have a large blue Holland America bag on the table as an indicator. Should the area be in use for some other activity I think the library on Deck 3 would be a quiet place to meet and decide where to go. (Remember I have not travelled with Carnival before and would appreciate any better suggestions.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazyaussie Posted November 4, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hi Everyone To clarify the get-together is set for the day after boarding (Monday) in the Ocean Plaza (Deck 2) at a table close to the bar from 11-11.30 etc.... Please indicate if you wish to participate. Cheers. Hope to see you all soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
