NOVEMBER 2014 CARNIVAL CRUISE 12 NIGHTS SYDNEY,NEW CALADONIA , FIJI AND VANUATU

November 16th My Fiance and I Flew to Sydney from Melbourne for our cruise. We stayed in Darlinghurst right near kings cross! When we got to Sydney we got a DOUBLE DECKER train to Kings Cross and checked into our hotel. (IBIS HOTEL) On the first day we went to Bondi Junction which was huge!! We then went to Bondi beach and climbed the rocks around there. The view was amazing. On Monday we did the skytower walk then walked to Darling Harbour and went on a fairy to Manly beach. It was really pretty. While in Manly I got a cheeseburger and as soon as I opened it a seagull took it off me -_- On Tuesday we went to Taronga zoo. We had a to catch a ferry then go on a chairlift up to the zoo and the views were amazing. We watched a few animals get fed such as the tigers, koalas and lions, which was pretty cool. A cannon got fired on the harbor and the monkeys went crazy !! That night we went to a restaurant near our hotel and had the best parmas(: On Wednesday we went to the aquarium and fed the sharks and went on a glass bottom boat. There were so many fish to see. They were all so colorful!Later that night we went back to Bondi junction and got smoothies. This was our last night in sydney. There is still so much I want to do in Sydney.

On Thursday we boarded Carnival Spirit. OMG the ship was huge! Everything was so glamorous. There are so many activities on board the ship and a lot of food to eat. Every night there are shows to watch which range from comedy,dancing and singing.I enjoyed watching the magic show and hairy-man competition the most haha.We played bingo nearly everyday and relaxed in the adults retreat which had a pool , spa and a bar. There is also a restaurant to have a 3 course meal which is all included and 24/7 pizza and ice-cream. There’s a casino, , gym, basketball court, kids area and a nightclub on board. You have opportunities to dress up as there are formal nights and themed nights such as Mexican night.

Our first destination was Noumea in New Caladonia.We went snorkeling in a lagoon. This was a shore excursion. We saw large turtles and plenty of colorful fish. It was scary jumping off the boat as I am not a good swimmer but once I was in the water it was amazing and such a great experience. Once we finished our tour we went back on the ship to eat as everything was closed in the town.

Vanuatu - Mystery Island was beautiful! There were lots of market stalls and the water was so clear! I got to hold a snake which was scary! There were locals to talk to and everyone was very friendly. There are beautiful mountains around the island and lovely walking tracks.

Port Denarau - South Sea Island is a verrry small island in Fiji. It takes a few minutes to walk around the whole island. This was another shore excursion. The water was clear and the sand was white but had lots of dead coral. We had lunch provided which was good. We went canoeing and on a semi submarine to explore the coral and fish. We also went snorkeling. There were sea lice in the water when snorkeling which was annoying but with the water so beautiful it didn’t matter. There was also a pool on the island.

Next was Suva in Fiji. This is the capital of Fiji. It’s a very crowded place and so many locals try to sell you things and take you to there village. You need to be careful you don’t get ripped off and make sure you are on a tour run by an actual tour company. I did a lot of souvenir shopping here. We met a lovely family on the cruise and went out into town with them as my fiancé and I didn’t feel safe just the two of us. I got my hair braided here which was cool.

Out last destination was Isle of pines and it was amazing. White soft sand and crystal clear waters. There were dogs on the island that were friendly. We hanged with our new friends and had a relaxed beach day.
