Carnival New York (Manhattan) Cruise Reviews

My wife and I and my parents just returned from a 10-day Cruise on Carnival Venezia, leaving from NYC to the Caribbean. The cruise ship docks at Manhattan Cruise Terminal. We live in upstate NY, about 6 hours away. With 4 people, it’s cheaper to drive than fly. We booked 2 rooms in Fairfield Inn North Bergen. They had a Cruise Package that would let us park the car at the hotel for 10 days ...

Very excited to board the ship and start 10 days of fun…what a joke …you leave out of New York and it’s day 3 before you hit warm weather. Then the staff is not true carnival wonderful staff there were a few who were top of the line most wouldn’t even smile and we heard SEVERAL say how much they hated it. Entertainment was subpar and seemed geared towards children more than anything. Needs to have ...

DH and I just returned home from our 10 day sailing on the Carnival Venezia. We had really been looking forward to this sailing on the "Fun Italian Style Ship". We have been to all of the ports on this sailing before ~ Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Amber Cove, and San Juan so this was more about the ship than the locations. First of all, the ship itself is really beautiful. The decor is more ...

We chose this cruise because of the convenience of traveling from NYC and the price seemed reasonable. We sailed with Carnival in the past and always enjoyed the cruise. As frequent cruise travelers, our recent cruise on Carnival Venezia was quite disappointing. The quality of the food and menu choices were mediocre, the best food on board was Guy's Burger Place on the Lido Deck. The Production ...

As frequent cruisers (48) my wife and I chose this cruise as we live close to NYC and we did not have to fly. The ship is pretty and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One of the problems was that the mattress was very hard. We asked for a foam pad or something similar but they didn't have anything. Our bones hurt, The food was not the greatest but can see that they are learning, little ...

I enjoy cruising and since I live in Manhattan, I jumped at the chance to cruise from my homeport. I live 20 minutes away via Uber. I usually fly to Florida, the West Coast. Asia or a European port. When Carnival or NCL are sailing from Manhattan, I book a cruise. I booked a terrazza cabin for hubby and I. The room was nicely appointed. Average size. The bed was comfortable. The room was ...

Carnival has put together a wonder ship with an Italian Venizia theme. The decor is just wonderful and welcomed change from the many other cruise lines we have sailed. We found the start of the cruise was well organized with passengers getting on by group assignment. Throughout the cruise we found the crew involved with our room and dining to be friendly and helpful. Each day included ...

To start we cruise roughly four weeks a year. Have been very loyal to NCL and found that they have the best bang for your buck if you are a gambler. Took Carnival with friends and overall this is one seriously beautiful ship. Embarkation was amazingly easy and we were on board in less than five minutes. My wife is the gambler so we go thru casinos at sea. She had a drink package but we found ...

This was cruise 30 for DH and 27 for me. We’ve cruised with Cunard, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian. Our last 11 cruises were with Carnival. We chose the Venezia for a different vibe, Italian style. We were thinking lots of Italian food, some Italian themed activities, some Italian music, etc. These are our thoughts and opinions, and everyone will have their own. We were ...

Originally booked on a different ship; ended up on Venezia due to ship swap; selected for the itinerary. The ship is pretty but wow the color red is very dominant with lots of ornate gold trim. Theater too small for the guest capacity. Excursion changes should have been conveyed to pax sooner to allow for alternate plans. Behind the Fun tour is offered - sign up early at Shore ...
