Carnival Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise for several reasons. First, we were interested in cruising on a new ship, or at least new to us. And second we chose because of the itinerary in hopes of seeing some of the fall foliage. So, let's first talk about the ship. It is different than any other Carnival ship we've been on. The Lido deck and main pool area is not at all set up for sun lounging or swimming. The ...

We took the Venezia to eastern Canada. The ship is very beautiful with a lot of Italian decor (golds). The elevators are an interesting technology. You enter the floor you wish to go to & it tells you which elevator to take. You arrive at your destination pretty quickly most of the time. We had a fwd facing OV room that has a deck you have access to in the hallway. The space for putting your ...

Selected this cruise for the itinerary - ended up on the Venezia due to a ship swap. Beginning was very rough - cabin assignment on swap did not align with what we'd paid for and hours on the phone did not resolve the issues. Eventually, we paid to upgrade (ugh - we already paid for the cabin on the original ship) one week and were able to get moved to same cabin for the 2nd week. The ship ...

Destination and ease of driving to port had us pick carnival,legend out of Baltimore to Greenland. Well first off no Greenland due to hurricanes. But we were so impressed again and again with the quality of the entertainment. Singers and dancers shows were great. Choreographed and costumed and talented. Special talent from Broadway stars to singing maitre de to crew talent show were amazing. ...

We've sailed from NYC many times and we know the terminals are not large enough to hold thousands of people, so when check-in selection opened, we selected arrival time of 11:30-12, as we hope boarding had already started by that time and the terminal will not be packed. We arrived around 11:25, no line at priority security line (regular security line had maybe 20 people in it), and walked right ...

We chose this cruise because we had been on Carnival in the past, though not since 2017. Back then it it was very good. The pros: room with balcony was clean and well taken care of. The cleaning person did a good job and was very friendly, even remembered our names. The cons: The buffet food was mediocre at best. There was no bacon or lox for example. There was no omelette making station. ...

I’m shocked at how many negative reviews there are for this ship. I truly have not been a fan of Carnival in the past (my first cruise was the Carnival Imagination back in 2014 and I swore I’d never to go back) but after giving this ship a try, I’m sold on Carnival! For reference of my review and cruise experience I’ve sailed with Royal, Disney, Celebrity, Princess, and Holland America (so ...

Worst cruise ever. Five million people and not enough room to walk around. Cabins are small and food sucks. Waited 5 years to get food from the buffet line. And the dinner places on board suck. It’s basically like paying for the buffet food just at a “restaurant”. A lot of the decks were smelly and so was the dining area. The decks were also very slippery. Don’t expect to get in a hot tub or pool ...

This was our 13th Carnival cruise and it just might have been the best. Is the Venezia your typical Carnival ship probably not. But WOW did we have a great time. The ship itself is beautiful. The food in general was very good. The main restaurants are beautiful. We did early dining and there were no waits or lines. The food was always hot and the service was great . Like all Carnival ships food ...

I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and price for a balcony room. I cruised on Carnival before and it was not a bad experience. Also we had parked at the Manhattan cruise terminal before and the previous times there were porters on the pier were we parked to take your bags and check them. This time there was no one to check your bags with and I had to take them on an elevator to go ...
