Honeymoon On Carnival Cruise

As mentioned in a previous blog post 2013 was a huge year for me personally. The biggest event being my own wedding in mid November.

For our honeymoon we tossed up so many different ideas for a trip that we would hopefully remember for a life time.

We looked at Route 66 in the US, Maui in Hawaii, Thailand - specifically Phuket as well as some destinations back home in Australia - Margaret River WA and Hamilton Island QLD.

In the end we wanted to do something that was low cost but also fun and exciting - something we've never really tried before. So we booked a Carnival Cruise to 5 different islands in the South Pacific - Isle of Pines, Wala, Mystery Island, Port Vila and Santo.

I'm definitely glad that we ended up choosing this cruise for our honeymoon, I couldn't of been more impressed. I had previously done a cruise with P and O almost exactly 10 years earlier but my wife had never been on a ship.

The cruise line itself is magnificent and everything was easy to book in which included our shore tours, day spa and the famous Noveau restaurant located on the Carnival Spirit (just one of 22 ships in their fleet).

We decided to upgrade our room from a mini suite to something called the Vista Suite. Basically once you open the door you enter the hallway and into a lounge room with lounge, side table and chairs, fridge etc and to the right was a separate vanity and bathroom and then another door into the room.

As you can probably tell already this room was absolutely amazing... virtually a 1 bedroom apartment, less the kitchen.

But it gets better. One of the features of the room that we were not aware about was the bath had spa jets! That came in handy after our full day of abseiling the Cascade Waterfalls. (I'll write about these shore tours in future posts).

Another great thing about this room was the fact that we were located at the very back of the ship where the balcony is massive and slightly wrap around the ship meaning we had unobstructed views at the back and the side of the ship.

All cruise liners certainly have their benefits and features as well as attractive sales and deals throughout the year, but Carnival is right up there - both for price, facilities and service.

In coming posts I'll be adding some of the shore tours and adventures that my wife and I took up during this cruise on the 5 islands visited.

Until then, happy adventures.
