Roll out the mince pies, it's time to cruise with the Grinch! This June/July Carnival is setting sail with their Grinchmas in July cruises out of Sydney.
Experience all the fun of a wintry 'Christmas' with festive events, decorations, food, kid's activities and more! Carnival’s Grinchmas in July sailings depart from Sydney starting from 24th June 2024. Throughout the four sailings, the ship will be transformed into a magical winter wonderland with a giant Christmas tree with glittering lights and baubles galore, Christmas-themed beverages and speciality dining items as well as a dusting of winter ‘snow’ in the atrium.
The Grinch himself will join the festivities with special appearances and a screening of How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Dive-In Movies. The festive glee on the sea continues as guests with a ‘Jingle Bell Jam’ soundtrack, as well as Christmas carolling, holiday games, trivia and arts and crafts. There’s even an ugly Christmas sweater night and festive outfit competition.
The sailings form part of Carnival’s ongoing Dr Seuss partnership and their ‘Seuss at Sea’ offerings, including the Green Eggs and Ham breakfast, Seussapalooza and Seuss Storytime. Ensuring a very merry time for all, the Grinchmas in July themed fun comes in addition to the 45+ activities that guests have come to know and love onboard a Carnival cruise.

Dining
When it comes to dining options, the Carnival Splendor offers some of the finest in the cruising industry.
Those after traditional dining can choose from OL' FASHIONED BBQ.The pros aren’t trendy, they’re traditionalists - the guys and gals who are still doin’ it up low and slow and smoky, the way it’s been done since just about forever. That’s quality. And if it’s good enough to get the thumbs-up in the backyard or the pit joint down the street… we’ll have a plate. You grab one too! That’s why we call our place Ol’ Fashioned BBQ, and why it sticks to classics like braised pork butt, smoked beef and dry-rubbed grilled chicken. How about the sides? No surprises, nothing showy: mac-n-cheese, molasses baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad. Solid. Finish with your choice of sauce to take a solid dish straight to backyard perfection… but at sea.
Take a casual approach and dine by the pool or pick up some takeaway at one of the many great cafes on board, including PIzzeria Del Capitano, Juice & Java bar and JavaBlue Cafe. For an international experience try the World Fresh Marketplace, offering a range of cuisines.
