Review summary

The Carnival Luminosa was an interesting ship but cruising is what you make of it, I could complain about stuff or be happy I was on an Alaskan cruise which I will choose to focus on! The wildlife and scenery was gorgeous as usual, the service was wonderful and the food was post-Covid standard but I wasn’t cooking it so I’m not going to judge it too harshly.

Great service, there were new menu items this cruise that I hadn’t seen before which was a nice surprise. Everything was good but breakfast times were slooooooow. Can’t fault the staff for that though, they were doing the best they could.

Lido Marketplace

Pay attention to the times the buffets and restaurants are open and you’ll have food pretty much whenever you are hungry. Chopsticks was tasty and the BBQ was good!

The layout of the Lido deck is weird and the drink stations are oddly placed which disrupts the walkway flow leading to congestion. In the atrium, there is a gigantic copper statue of a nude woman which blocks a third of the floor space, also lead to traffic congestion.

Have the shuttle driver take you to the cemetery and waterfall, it’s amazing and beautiful and slightly creepy.
