We did many overseas cruises on Celebrity, Princess and Royal Caribbean and enjoyed all of them. I liked the mix of different nationalities and we made some good friends onboard. We also joined some of our US and Canadian friends on the new Carnival ships in the Mediterranean and in Northern Europe. We cruised around South America on Carnival Splendor when she was new and had a great time. I haven’t cruised on Carnival in Australia but perhaps I should try it some time. I really enjoyed the overseas cruises with some friendly, interesting and well-travelled people so I can recommend them to Australian cruisers.
For the past twelve years since the death of my husband I still went on overseas cruises including some well- priced transatlantic cruises but now I tend to do more cruises out of Australia.
