Our First Carnival Cruise! Carnival Splendor Embarkation & First Impressions
🎥 We've never particularly wanted to cruise with Carnival, and a three-night cruise wasn't high on our wish list either! With short cruises having a reputation for being party cruises, we boarded Carnival Splendor in Sydney, wondering whether we'd find an experience that suited our more relaxed style of travel. Come along for our Carnival Splendor embarkation day as we explore our first impressions, tour cabin 7427, experience sailaway from Sydney Harbour and discover whether Carnival might surprise us. 💬 Question for You Have you ever taken a three-night cruise?
