CARNIVAL ENCOUNTER │BRISBANE AUSTRALIA │December 2025 │Deck 10 Balcony twin stateroom

We recently sailed on Carnival Encounter out of Brisbane, Australia, our home port. Four of us did 3 nights in two balcony staterooms and we dined in the 3 different main dining rooms (Angelo's, Waterfront & Dragon Lady). We found the buffet extremely small and super busy all the time. There were limited options in there, with a very Asian heavy focus. The staff onboard were amazing and we had a great time.
