Touring Australia's Carnival Ship

I just stepped aboard my first ever Carnival cruise ship - the Carnival Splendor! Carnival Splendor is Australia's Carnival ship and will soon be joined by P&O's ships Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter.

Check out the preview of my onboard adventure here.

So I know people find this funny, but there is a serious problem with brawls on Carnival cruise lines in particular. It's mainly a problem with this one company and such fights are rare on most cruise line.

Why Carnival? The line has very cheap cruises, but it effectively subsidizes the low prices through alcohol sales. Because they make most of their money through selling booze, they have weak incentives to avoid serving to already-drunk customers. Their bartenders are also paid exclusively in tips, which incentivizes them to get customers drunk and avoid refusing to serve them, because they get more tips that way. Compounding the problem, their security guards are trained not to deescalate or break up fights, but rather, to shut down people filming the brawls so as to keep them hush-hush.

The brawls are a side-effect of their business practices and the company is not interested in preventing them because doing so would undermine their business model.

Be wary of this if you ever consider going on a cruise. I recommend avoiding this line. There is a reason their cruises are so cheap.

The End is Nigh for P&O Cruises Australia

The end is fast approaching for P&O Cruises in Australia.

Having cruised in Australian waters since 1932 and with a heritage in these waters that dates back to 1852, there are now just a few weeks left of P&O branded cruises.

Here's what's going to happen to the P&O Australia ships as they farewell this iconic brand!

Pacific Explorer:

Pacific Explorer has already made her final call to Sydney, meaning the last time a P&O flagship visits Sydney has already slipped past with no fanfare.

But there is still time to farewell this ship, with Pacific Explorer’s last cruise an 11-night voyage to Singapore, departing Fremantle on 7 February 2025.

Fremantle has been an important port for P&O since the 1850s, so it is fitting to see the flagship depart the Western Australian port for its final P&O Cruises voyage.

The ship will transfer to a new owner, Resorts World Cruises, and sail in Southeast Asia as Star Scorpio.

Pacific Adventure:

The most emotional farewells will likely take place in Sydney, which has been the hub for cruising aboard P&O ships for over 90 years.

Pacific Adventure will operate P&O’s final Sydney voyages, with two return trips to Tangalooma and Moreton Island. These 4-night cruises will sail from 6th to 10 March, and 10th to 14 March, as Sydney return voyages.

The ship's Penultimate arrival will be at Circular Quay, while the final arrival will berth at White Bay, making March 14th the final P&O harbour bridge arrival. That same day will see the final P&O Cruises Australia departure from Sydney, as the ship sails out of the harbour for refit to become Carnival Adventure.

Pacific Encounter:

The final P&O Australia passenger voyage falls on the Brisbane-based Pacific Encounter. This is kind of poetic, as Brisbane was the first cruising port of call when Strathallan sailed from Sydney to Brisbane in 1932 enroute to the Pacific Islands.

Pacific Encounter will undertake a weeklong Pacific Island cruise departing 8 March. This will see the ship return to Brisbane for 15 March – one day after Pacific Adventure leaves Sydney.

As such, the final ever P&O Cruises Australia passengers will depart Pacific Encounter on March 15. That same day, the ship will leave Brisbane for refit to become Carnival Encounter, marking the final Brisbane departure, last ever P&O Australia departure, and an end of P&O Cruises in Australia – a lineage that dates back 93 years.

P&O Lives On?

While P&O Australia will be officially shut down on 29 March 2025, Carnival Corporation also owns P&O Cruises UK which has a fleet of ships based out of the UK.

One of those ships is the Arcadia, which will be visiting Australia on her world cruise. Ironically, this will take place in March 2025. Thus, as P&O Australia closes down, we will see a UK based P&O branded ship make calls at Australian ports.
