Creator's Key Takeaways

The Carnival Venetsia isn't just another ship in the Carnival fleet. It's a floating celebration of Italian culture and carnival style fun and a really unforgettable sort of cruising experience.

Ilvagio on the Venetia is one of my favorite specialty dining stops and you should put it on your list.

This ended up becoming one of my absolute favorite new style of ships that Carnival is offering right now.
