“Pizza Anywhere” – Carnival Cruise Lines

CARNIVAL Cruise Line has announced the launch of its “Pizza Anywhere” service. It will be a new feature of the Carnival Cruise Line app that allows passengers to order a pizza anywhere on the ship!

There will be 5 varieties available, including margherita, funghi, pepperoni, quattro formaggi and hawaiian.

“Whether you’re busy having fun with the kids by the pool, or simply relaxing on a hammock in serenity with a good book, how great is it to have piping hot pizza delivered straight to you,” said Carnival Cruise Line Australia Vice President Jennifer Vandekreeke.

“We’re currently also working to expand deliveries to include beverages to make life even easier for cruisers on holidays,” she added.

The new app service is currently available on Carnival Spirit and will be available on Carnival Splendor when she at her new home port in Sydney later this year.

There is a cost of $7 for each pizza which will automatically be charged to guests’ Sail & Sign shipboard accounts upon order.

“The…feature is a terrific example of how committed Carnival is to ensuring their guests never miss a piece of the action and have as much ‘FUN’ as possible,” Vandekreeke said.

Cruise Ships – Thrills at Sea with P&O

Cruise lines that cater for family holidays are busy amping up the adrenaline and offering a variety of heart-thumping activities on board.

This post will look at what P&O has on offer with further posts over the next few days looking at Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International and Norwegian Cruise Line.

Cruise Ships – Thrills at Sea with P&O Waterslides on Pacific Explorer

P&O CRUISES

Waterslides & waterpark – included in fare
P&O Edge Adventure Park – additional cost, varies depending on activity

Pacific Dawn was the first P&O ship to get the waterslide treatment. Disco Diver & Super Slider claim to being the longest slides on an Australian ship. Both are around 80m. One is transparent and the other is multi-coloured with music pumping through it. Pacific Explorer also has two waterslides, one with the lights & sounds and the other with more twists & turns.

All of the P&O Ships that cruise out of Australia & New Zealand (Dawn, Explorer, Jewel, Eden & Aria) have the P&O Edge Adventure Park with up to 19 different activities. You can zoom down a zip line, race to the top of the ship in a cargo net race and abseil down the 10m aft funnel.

If that isn’t enough, there are also Bungee Tramps, tight rope walking without the heights on Slackline Surfing OR you can battle it out in a game of Laser Tag.

If heights are your thing, you can walk the plank, scale to the top of the outdoor movie screen, clime the ships bow, ascend to the crow’s nest and complete a 3 meter high obstacle course.
