Just come across your channel guys - love your energy together and very informative for those people thinking about cruising for the first time. We shared your excitement as you stepped aboard! Looking forward to seeing a lot more of your travels. Subscribed.
Thanks for great Video Jacki and Jay, we planning for our family cruise next family holiday. Never been in cruise before, your video really help us alot what we expecting. Subscribed 👍And looking forward to your next video 😊
Thank you for your kind words, we love our crusing and love telling people about it! Our first cruise was with 4 kids; two 11 year olds, a 14 year old and a 17 year old! It was a great family holiday so we are sure you'll have a ball.
Damn I miss those great times, chose this video for some nostalgia, especially the parties like the 80's Rock n roll night on the lido deck and that other party with the foam glowsticks 😂👌🚢
Thank you very much for your wonderful video🎉 My next cruise on Carnival Splendour Leaving from OPT and returning to WHITE BAY ( passing under the bridge ) 😮😮😮
Excellent video! We are planning B2B cruises on the splendor in 2025 and we’re coming from USA so I wanted to make sure I was making right decision and the ability to sit out and see and taste the ocean had me sold!!! I love that style ship! What room number were you as you have peaked my interest with the whole lido deck scenario - I love to get up early and be alone too - the lido deck cabins sound like a wonderful spot. Thanks so much!!!
Hi there. We are both not quite sure, but we think about 9254. We love Spendor not tiny, but definitely not huge. Of course, being Aussies, we don't have much choice.
Hi Jackie & Jay i subbed to your channel last week thanks so much for your cruise videos they are amazing we are going on a Moreton Island cruise on the 30th this month so this has been so helpful! Jst to ask when will your next vlog be? Looking forward to future vlogs😊.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We have never gotten off at Moreton Island, but will next September. We are cruising on Luminosa for the first time in 62 days ( but who's counting), so we will definitely be showing people our view of the ship. Jacki will probably do some pre-cruise packing and organising video before we go. We hope you love cruising as much as we do.
@@RodSwansmad how exciting! We checked in yesterday too, just have to print the boarding passes:) we cant wait! Hope you enjoy your time as well, cheers🥂🥳!
@@Tina-wf1nh At the 80’s Glow Night I’ll be dressed up as Warwick Capper ..LOL in full Sydney Swans gear with his famous Number 39 on the jersey 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Jacki and Jay , We we’re able to check in today for our upcoming cruise to Morton Island ! But , the earliest check in time we could get was 12.30 to 1pm ..grrrrr nothing like you described. I would have liked an earlier boarding. I’m guessing because it’s our first time cruise with Carnival and we are classified Blue that it’s the earliest they offer to Blue ? I’m guessing Gold and Platinum get the earlier boarding times with special MRD lunch ? Cheers Rod
Hi Rod. We are usually online at 12.01 am to get the earliest possible time. Desperate we know. 🤣🤣 It isn't about colour until you hit Platinum. When you get to the dock, ask the people there politely and you never know your luck. Worst case, you still have plenty of time for lunch and a magnificent time!
@@journeyswithjackiandjayThe cruise was so much fun 🤩 absolutely loved it. On top of that we took your advice , headed to the ship at 10am ,threw our bags in the bag drop and they told us get your boarding pass out and ID and you can board straight away ! Hip hip hooray 😃 We were on board at 10.30am and eating by 11am 🤙 Would definitely do this 4 nighter again ! Loved Fahrenheit 555 restaurant on the first with a free bottle of wine 🥂 Cheers Rod
I’ll will recap this video before my cruise end of Nov ! 6:56 what I would like to know is , the Choose Fun flag thing on the bed , is that a souvenir to keep ?
@@journeyswithjackiandjayBy the way , in this video you mentioned you need 2 more cruises to reach Platinum, how many cruises do you need to be Platinum?
@@RodSwansmad you need 75 days. You become platinum on the cruise your 75th day falls in. We will be platinum on our Singapore to Sydney cruise next year. Woot!
You can’t beat Sydney Harbour it is the best and when Carnival Luminosa comes down next year to Sydney for a series of music cruises I will be on there for a 4 night Morton Island cruise woohoo 🥳
Dude I stayed on the ledo deck and it sucked every morning at 7 am you can hear the asshole on the intercome say " GOOOOOOD morning everyone COME down to the LEDO deck For some party fun and games BLA BLA BLA!!!!! " It was so brutal we tried stuffing a towel under the door to dampen the sound but that never worked. My wife and I hated every day of that ship I am happy you got joy out of it cause we did not!
My first cruise is in Sept on this ship to New Caledonia. Your information is so valuable. Thanks for posting
Thank you for your kind words. We hope you have a magnificent time. 😀
Hey, thank you for this video. My husband and I were in this video. That cruise was our first cruise. Thank you for the memories.
Our pleasure!

My next cruise on Carnival Splendour
Leaving from OPT and returning to WHITE BAY
( passing under the bridge )
😮😮😮
We have never heard of such a thing! We'll be interested to hear how it goes. As far as we have ever known it was not possible. Maybe it is....

Jay wishes! It is to put your suitcase on unpack. It would be a neat souvenir though.
@@journeyswithjackiandjay I’ve got an Hawaiian Airline blanket off the plane , let’s see if I can take home the Fun Flag. LOL
I thought that Sydney cruises left from White Bay.
@@daviddenham2971 the P&O ships do.
Great video, thanks for sharing.. we cruise next May
Thank you for your kind words. We hope you have a great time in May!
18:55 80s night , I’m going as Warwick Capper …Go Swans
Way to go! We love 80s night.
@@journeyswithjackiandjayBy the way , in this video you mentioned you need 2 more cruises to reach Platinum, how many cruises do you need to be Platinum?
@@RodSwansmad you need 75 days. You become platinum on the cruise your 75th day falls in. We will be platinum on our Singapore to Sydney cruise next year. Woot!
Is there allocated smoking arear?
Yes there are. I can't recall which outside decks, but they exist.
Is it too cold to swim in the pool?
It was probably too chilly out of Sydney, but perfectly fine once you get closer to the islands.
A quick question- The80’s theme night , did people go dressed in their 80’s gear for dinner ?
Lots of people definitely do. We usually do, it just depends on our mood.
You can’t beat Sydney Harbour it is the best and when Carnival Luminosa comes down next year to Sydney for a series of music cruises I will be on there for a 4 night Morton Island cruise woohoo 🥳
It is certainly a lovely harbour to sail in and out of. Enjoy your Morton Island cruise!
@@journeyswithjackiandjay I have been up there before on two other ships and it is a lovely place
Don’t need your passport to sail to the Great Barrier Reef 😵💫
True you don't but you do need photo ID for adults and a medicare cars for kids.
Sorry but I’m from Texas and having such a hard time understanding your language tried so hard to listen but cannot understand it😮
We're sorry to hear that. We are speaking English 🤣. Have you tried using CC?
Dude I stayed on the ledo deck and it sucked every morning at 7 am you can hear the asshole on the intercome say " GOOOOOOD morning everyone COME down to the LEDO deck For some party fun and games BLA BLA BLA!!!!! " It was so brutal we tried stuffing a towel under the door to dampen the sound but that never worked. My wife and I hated every day of that ship I am happy you got joy out of it cause we did not!
We are sorry you had a bad experience. Hopefully you find your cruising happy place.
