  • Derma-Veen moisturising lotion

    The DermaVeen extra intensive moisturising lotion worked well in maintaining hydration due to the harshness this winter has sent. My son washes his hands when he gets stressed. Hand washing and being surrounded by heaters and then going outside into windy weather was wreaking havoc on us all. The DermaVeen moisturising lotion has been wonderful. Would buy again and recommend to others.

    I’ve always heard good reviews about Dermaveen and now that I’ve tried the extra hydration range I can say it’s excellent! The moisturiser applies easily and absorbs quickly into the skin. My skin hasn’t felt so hydrated even in winter! It is now my go to skin moisturiser for the whole year round.

  • Top to bottom moisturiser

    DermaVeen Extra Hydration Intensive Moisturising Lotion really lives up to its name. It’s super duper hydrating, just a little bit could go further. The best thing is that I can use it for my face as well, as part of my nightly moisturising ritual. It’s very easily absorbed into the skin and left no oily residue, although it’s texture is thick. I can feel that my skin stays soft long after I put it on. It feels more like a cream instead of a lotion. Really suitable for the whole family, young and old. After using DermaVeen Extra Hydration Intensive Moisturising Lotion for almost two weeks, I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

  • Gentle on my Eczema prone skin

    I’ve been using Dermaveen exclusively for 2 weeks now and my skin is feeling much better than it has all winter. I was having an eczema flare up when the lotion arrived and used it tentatively as most lotions irritate my skin at the best of times. Dermaveen has proven hydrating enough to fix the cracks caused by eczema on my hands and also has calmed the flare up, lessening the redness and getting rid of the itching. Will keep using and recommending.

  • Nice and thick lotion

    The DermaVeen Extra Hydration Intensive Moisturising Lotion has a very luxurious feeling texture and is thicker than what I was using previously, meaning it really helps my dry skin during these winter months.

    A little goes a long way and is easily absorbed. It is fragrance free which is ideal before bed, as I don’t like smelling product on me after I’m clean.

    This has been so good for my skin and has even helped to reduce dry bumps I get on the back of my arms. I’ll definitely be purchasing this again!

  • Amazing

    The DermaVeen extra hydration Intensive Moisturzing Lotion is very hydrating and great for the dry winter we have had. I found it to be suitable for the entire family with no reactions or irritation. It’s not oily or greasy and is one of very few moisturisers. I have left on and not wipes away due to it not being greasy. It has no fragrant smell left behind so is easy to use in pairing with your favourite body sprays or perfume without interference of smells clashing.
    Made in Australia and no hidden nasties. A product I can be confident using on my baby, toddler and myself. Also vegan friendly a huge plus for allergy homes like mine.

  • A go to for sensitive skin

    Both my daughter and myself suffer from eczema-prone skin, both of us can not use just any moisturiser or body wash, we have to be very selective when choosing what product to apply. Not only have I had no eczema flare ups, but it hasn’t even left that itching feeling I tend to get from all the bigger brands. I highly recommend this product for anyone suffering from sensitive skin especially eczema-prone skin.

  • #No1 Brand for Eczema Prone Skin

    DermaVeen Extra Hydration Wash and intensive moisturiser lotion are an absolute game changer for those who suffer from eczema! My 3 children and I are all long time sufferers of eczema and our skin have all improved incredibly from using these products! We are all able to sleep much better without itching all night and our skin feels soft and hydrated. A friend of mine went to see a skin specialist who prescribed her some eczema cream. She said that the cream hadn’t helped her at all and she was going yo try going off dairy to see if that helped. I recommended Dermaveen to her and she said “Sarah you could have saved me $200!! My skin is so much better with DermaVeen!” I highly recommend it!!

    I highly believe layering for tackling eczema-prone skin and dry sensitive skin. DermaVeen provides just that with their intensive moisture lotion. It hydrates and softens my skin while at the same time prevents from moisture loss. I like the fact that it has no perfumes which means it’s suitable for sensitive skin.

  • Truly Hydrated

    Ive been using the DermaVeen Extra Hydration Lotion during my last trimester. Now, even at 41weeks, my skin has never felt better. The moisturing properties in this bottle alone is perfect for my face and entire body. Having full trust in the DermaVeen range, allowed me to use on my daughters sensitive, eczema prone skin during this winter. Thanks to this duo Lotion and Wash, we both now have smooth flake free skin and smell extra lush after our showers, thanks to the Lotion! I have bought more of this product as it is now an essential in my home.

    Thank you very much to Dermaveen and MoM for the opportunity to trial and review the Dermaveen Extra Hydration Intensive Body Lotion.

Cruising offers a unique and unparalleled way to explore the world, combining convenience with the excitement of visiting multiple destinations.

Here are a few reasons why cruising is the best way to travel:

  • Unpack Once, See Multiple Destinations: One of the greatest advantages of cruising is the ability to visit several destinations without the hassle of packing and unpacking. From the tropical paradises of the South Pacific to the vibrant cities of Australia, Carnival allows you to experience diverse cultures and landscapes by day while enjoying the comfort of your floating hotel each night.​
  • Endless Entertainment: Another great thing about cruising is all your entertainment and activities travel with you. Onboard a Carnival cruise, you’ll never be bored. Enjoy Broadway-style shows, laugh out loud at live comedy shows, or grab the mic for some karaoke. There’s always something happening on the ship to keep you entertained​. 
  • Value for money: Your cruise fare includes accommodation, main meals in designated restaurants, entertainment, and many activities, offering excellent value for money. On a Carnival cruise, you can dine at a variety of restaurants, from casual pizza or a meal at Lido Marketplace or The Pantry, to a three-course dinner in the main dining room, all without worrying about additional costs​.
  • Comfort and Relaxation: Carnival ships are designed with your comfort in mind. From spacious staterooms to the luxurious Cloud 9 Spa, you can relax and rejuvenate while cruising to your next destination​​. 

How to Find the Best Cruise Deals in Australia

Finding great cruise deals can make your holiday even more enjoyable. Here are some tips to help you secure the best rates:

  • Book Early or Last Minute: Early bookings often come with special discounts and perks, while last-minute deals can offer significant savings if you’re flexible with your travel dates. Keep an eye on Carnival’s website for seasonal promotions and flash sales 
  • Use a Travel Agent: Travel agents can provide valuable insights and access to exclusive deals. They can also help you find the perfect cruise that fits your budget and preferences. 
  • Sign Up for Newsletters: Subscribe to Carnival’s newsletter to receive the latest updates on deals and promotions. This ensures you’re among the first to know about any discounts or special offers. 

Planning Your Perfect Cruise Holiday

Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveller, Carnival’s blend of comfort and adventure ensures a fantastic experience. Features to consider include: 

  • Family-Friendly Activities: Carnival’s ships are packed with activities for all ages, from the Dr. Seuss at Sea program for kids to the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat for adults seeking tranquility while kids are busy in the kids clubs.
  • Dining Options: Enjoy a culinary journey with Carnival’s diverse dining options. From the casual Guy’s Burger Joint to the sophisticated Fahrenheit 555 Restaurant (charges apply)there’s something to satisfy every palate. 
  • Entertainment and Activities: Carnival’s entertainment lineup includes live shows, comedy, and interactive games. Don’t miss the Dive-In Movies by the pool or the thrill of the waterslides. 

Picking a Destination

Choosing the right destination is key to your cruise experience. Carnival offers a variety of exciting itineraries:

  • South Pacific: Explore the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters of Fiji, Vanuatu, as well as New Caledonia. These destinations are perfect for snorkelling, diving, and soaking up the sun​. 
  • Australia and New Zealand: Discover the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Australia and New Zealand. From the Great Barrier Reef to the scenic fjords, there’s plenty to see and do​. 
  • Short Getaways: For a quick escape, consider a short cruise from Sydney or Brisbane. These mini-holidays offer a taste of cruising without a long commitment. 

Preparing for Your Cruise

Proper preparation can enhance your cruise experience. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

  • Pack Smart: Bring comfortable clothing, swimwear, formal attire for elegant evenings, and essentials like sunscreen and medications. Don’t forget a good pair of walking shoes for excursions. 
  • Plan Excursions: Research and purchase shore excursions in advance to ensure you get the most out of your destinations. Carnival offers a wide range of excursions, from cultural tours to adrenaline-pumping adventures. 
  • Health and Wellness: Take advantage of Carnival’s wellness facilities. For an additional fee you can enjoy a massage at the Cloud 9 Spa, join a yoga class on deck, or simply relax in one of the ship’s many serene spaces. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to make the most of your cruise. 

By following these tips and choosing Carnival Cruise Line, you’re sure to have an unforgettable holiday filled with fun, relaxation, and adventure!

Please note: onboard offering is subject to change and varies by ship. Charges apply to some activities, venues and menu items.

 

  • The whole idea of packing for a trip and then unpacking on board a cruise is truly quite appealing. We do like to have a good and comfortable base and then love to explore without worrying about luggage and clothing and other bits and pieces needed for travel and trips.

  • I am longing to go on a cruise.
    I really want to do one of the 21 day cruises to the US. It sounds amazing but that being said I have never been on one and do wonder if I would struggle with sea sickness which would be a real downer

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing these views. The article make cruising sound nice, but it is most certainly not for everyone. Personally I don’t feel to spend a length of time with a group of tourists and to be kind of locked up a boat makes me feel claustrophobic (there is simply no escape). Besides this we prefer to explore the nature on foot or per skies and like to decide where we go our selves

    Reply

  • Great post. Makes me want to go on another cruise. Organising the trip is a chore plus getting to the cruise terminal is a nightmare. I do however love the farewell party, the ample entertainment and food already paid for.. There’s always something to do and see onboard as per the daily itinerary. Just make sure you go with good company or else the trip is sour. You won’t be able to escape the people. Don’t forget your travel sickness tablets before you board because you won’t want to stay on board and your trip will kind of be ruined. If the boat is rocky, you won’t enjoy the trip much. You learn the boat inside out from all the activities you explore in there and get a good workout if your trying to lose weight.

  • Everyone seems to say that cruises are the best way to have a holiday! My mother in law swears by them, as does a work colleague. I had wondered if I would feel bored when at sea, but they seem to have reams of entertainment, so it does look really fun!

  • I have done cruises to Australian destinations and Vila/Noumea and would like to do more. New Zealand is next on my wish list.

  • Really great tips here. A travel agent can be invaluable for cruise bookings. The biggest tip, have your pick up and drop off sorted. Don’t worry about getting yourself there or home, have your travel agent sort it out. And splurge on some extras. Do that excursion! Upgrade your cabin! Or get that drinks package! It’s a holiday you’ll never forget
