Cruising the Pacific with Carnival Encounter | What It's Really Like
🚢 Thinking about a Pacific cruise? Join us as we swap our caravan for a cruise ship and set sail aboard Carnival Encounter. From 70-knot winds and 7-metre seas on our first night to great food, tropical islands and life onboard, we're sharing our honest experience from an 8-night South Pacific cruise. In this episode of Wingin it Downunder, we take you aboard Carnival Encounter and show you what cruising is really like from our perspective. Come with us as we: ✅ Tour our balcony cabin ✅ Discover a variety of onboard dining options ✅ Explore the ship's shops and facilities ✅ Visit Lifou Island and Noumea, New Caledonia ✅ Share our thoughts and experiences along the way Unfortunately, rough weather meant our planned stop at Mystery Island was cancelled when the captain made the decision not to operate the tenders, but that's all part of life at sea. Whether you're a seasoned cruiser, considering your first cruise, or simply enjoy travel adventures, we hope you'll enjoy coming along for the journey. 🌴 Thanks for watching and welcome aboard with Wingin it Downunder!
