Carnival New York (Manhattan) Cruise Reviews

And my 1st 5-star rating in all my years of cruising goes to... this ship! Congratulations, Carnival! Boarding time didn't start until around 11AM, but once we were on board, we were amazed by how uniquely beautiful this iconic Costa ship was. Even though the classic Costa tail remained, much of the decorations were inspired by Italy, especially in the main atrium area and Canal Grande ...

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 ...

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 chose this cruise because it left out of New York, wanted to try one of the larger ships and liked the idea of an Italian themed ship. Shortly before leaving I read the reviews on this site and the Carnival site. I became very concerned and was worried I had made the wrong choice. I traveled with someone who had never been on a cruise and the other I went to Alaska with on Celebrity, a cruise ...

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 ...
