Why Australia Doesn’t Have a REAL Carnival Cruise Ship
Every "Carnival" ship sailing out of Australia has a completely different history — and almost nobody realises how different the onboard experience actually is between them. In this video, I'm breaking down the full story behind Carnival Cruise Line's Australian fleet: why Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter are actually ex-Princess Cruises ships that spent years sailing as P&O Cruises Australia vessels before ever wearing Carnival colours, why Carnival Luminosa has a statue in the atrium, and why Carnival Splendor is the closest thing Australia has to a genuine Carnival experience. Then there's the ship Australia was actually promised — Carnival Panorama. Originally ordered specifically for P&O Cruises Australia as the brand's first-ever newbuild, that order was reassigned to the main US Carnival Cruise Line brand not once but twice, before the ship ended up sailing the Mexican Riviera out of Long Beach instead. So will Australia ever get a genuine, purpose-built Carnival ship? I put that question — and two others — directly to Carnival's Australian PR team. Their on-the-record answer is in this video. If you're planning a Carnival cruise from Australia or New Zealand and want to know exactly what ship you're booking — and why it looks the way it does — this one's for you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🛳️ My website hosts one of the world's most powerful cruise search engines where you can research and even book your next cruise or land holiday.
