We where apprehensive about sailing out of New York but wanted to try a new port and also new destinations. I must admit that the City is safer than the news tells you. We arrived a day early which is highly recommended. We took a cab to our Hotel and had dinner right across the street. It was a great meal and back in the room to get up early for the Ship the next morning. The weather was expected ...
I had booked to sail on the Carnival Venezia while the conversion was being completed from a Costa ship. I liked that I could drive to the port in lieu of flying. While I saw some negative reviews during the 1st couple of sailing, I wasn't discouraged, as I've always enjoyed sailing on Carnival and was looking forward to sailing on the Venezia with the "Fun Italian Style" concept. While the night ...
This was our 11th cruise, and I have to say one of the best vacations! We walked to the NY pier from our hotel, and the embarkation process was very smooth and quick. The staff at the pier were very nice. Once aboard, we walked around the ship to get familiar with this ship. The decor was REALLY nice throughout the entire ship. You really felt like you were in Italy! During the cruise, the ...
This ship is quite different from other Ships. We loved the Italian theme. The Marco Polo dining room felt very intimate. Staff was great. The cruise director Joey was fantastic. Not a big fan of the smoking in the casino but they had a separate room for non smokers. The ports in Canada were really laid back. The weather was nice despite following a hurricane. Definitely not a cruise for getting ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
My husband and i booked this cruise mainly because it was a new ship..we love the longer cruises...loved private rear of ship...terrazza...two private hottubs...loved the currated sea day brunch for us...everything was spotless...food outstanding as usual...new italian restaurant...if you love carnival...this was one of our favorite ships. Loved how the theme was somewhat original to the ...
This ship is amazing, as a fan of Carnival’s Vista class this ship is not just a fun twist, but a step up. Unlike the Luminosa which is missing many key Carnival venues, the Venezia has all of them. Guy’s Burgers is on the Lido deck as always. Our group also enjoyed Tomodoro which had tacos like BlueIguana Cantina, but also Italian wraps and other things. The cafe is on the Lido deck and is a ...
This was a great ship...the service...the staff...the food...not over crowded at all...yes breakfast buffet lines were long...but they were typical buffet lines...and we avoided them daily by going to the mini buffet stations and the omelette stations...omelette station at the seafood shack, never a wait...cruise director mikey was the best...sorry for you new guys...mikey was shipped off to the ...
