We're booked on the Adventure in May '26. I'm a bit disappointed about Guy's burger joint. I would expect that there's a contract in place for Luke's burger bar that Carnival have to keep, but they could at least make it included in the fare. I agree about the apps. I've used both and definitely prefer Carnival's. As far as the self serve soft serve goes.... I'm just gutted about that. I loved going for a midnight ice cream on Carnival ships. 😄
I think you might be right about the contracts. Guy's Burger Joint and soft serve are some of the favourite Carnival staples so it will be interesting to see in time if these ships end up morphing more Carnival-like and if the Luke's Bar & Grill and New Zealand Ice Cream stay long-term.
Hi, done a P&O cruise from UK Southampton to the Med, last September was on Carnival Splendor for a back to back cruise from Sydney to Cairns etc. Be interesting to see these changes and the prices as well. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for watching David! That sounds like an amazing P&O cruise, definitely a bucketlist cruise. P&O in the UK will live on, it's just the P&O Cruises Australia that will be gone. We love Carnival Splendor. It ticks all the boxes for our family. It will be interesting to see how the Carnival experience merges with P&O's.
we just did a cruise on Pacific explorer & not impressed, the ship is run down, the app not work to book a table, we have cruised on this ship as the Dawn Princess in 2013 & was happy with the ship at that stage
Unfortunately she has seen better days. She is one of the oldest ships still operating and I agree, the app just does not work as it’s supposed to right now.
The changes sound ok and still keeping some P&O much loved restaurants among other things and I will try Pacific Adventure as I have been on her 3 times already and got another four until she changes over to Carnival Adventure and I will go on her after the change maybe in the winter time
Well thats lame... they decide to give a half assed hybrid rather than either the same experience across the board or keeping things seperate... really had higher hopes.
I think they are trying to walk the fine line of keeping loyal P&O lovers happy while implementing some Carnival fun. Will be interesting to see how it all goes.
Hi lets hope they make pizza like the way they do it on princess Last cruise i ordered pizza from pizza bar near the pool i only managed to eat one slice it was waste of 12 dollars Am cruising on the new adventure on 11 april after my barrier reef with princess on first april I will let u know abt the change first hand When are u going to try princess so you could discover the huge diff between Princess vs carnival/P&O
Hi Victor, I am yet to purchase pizza on P&O. I can imagine the free pizza will be extremely basic but thats all my kids want. I don't eat pizza much myself. Sounds like you have some exciting cruises coming up!
Ah i didnt finish ur video when i made my comments was told by many ppl in the industry that the explorer was sold to chinese company it will sail to philipine manila bay and will be converted to floating casino hotel time will tell Lets hope i meet u and family on princess cruise its from 1st April to 11
Oh thats interesting. First I have heard. I'm sure we will learn soon enough. You will just miss us on Princess unfortunately, we are a little later in the month. I'm excited to see how we like Princess but not sure how the kids will go on it.

Get yourself some mini walkie talkies. Reliable and works all over the ship. Good way to communicate with other friends.
Thanks for the updates!
Thanks for watching. Not sure how much you got out of it, probably makes more sense if you understand the P&O brand. I appreciate your support 🫶
thanks for the info.

Lots happening in this process but look forward to experiencing these new styled ships
Me too, I can't wait to see what these new ships are going to be like!
we just did a cruise on Pacific explorer & not impressed, the ship is run down, the app not work to book a table, we have cruised on this ship as the Dawn Princess in 2013 & was happy with the ship at that stage

I will be cruising on the encounter in April the 12th out of Brisbane
That sounds great! You will be able to experience the changes first hand. I hope I can too.
@@CruiseCrazedFam you will
The changes sound ok and still keeping some P&O much loved restaurants among other things and I will try Pacific Adventure as I have been on her 3 times already and got another four until she changes over to Carnival Adventure and I will go on her after the change maybe in the winter time
FOUR MORE!!!? Wow, you make me look like a rookie. Haha. I agree, the restaurants on P&O are great so it's good to see that will be unchanged.
