Carnival’s Newest Cruise Ship Was NOT What I Expected. Here's Why [Carnival Venezia Review]

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of a four day cruise on the Carnival Venezia, a ship originally owned by Costa Cruise Line. She describes the vessel as a beautiful, Italian-style ship with tasteful decor that differs from previous Carnival ships. The review covers various aspects of the experience, including embarkation at the Manhattan cruise port, cabin accommodations, and dining options. While she praises the specialty dining, specifically the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, and the friendly crew, she expresses disappointment with the buffet quality and the lack of signage for passenger guidance. The creator notes that the ship can become very crowded around the pool areas during warm weather. She concludes that the cruise offers good value for families, groups, and casino players, though avid Carnival fans may need to adjust their expectations regarding the ship layout. Ultimately, she found the experience to be more pleasant than expected and would consider sailing with the line again on different ships.
