In so many ways, this 4 day Carnival cruise was not what I expected! Join me as we explore the Carnival Venezia cruise ship from the Lido deck, dining room & restaurants, atrium & cruise ship cabin.

This honest cruise review shows you the onboard entertainment, the food & dining, the pool deck & sports deck & more. We also go over the cruise port of Bermuda & the people we met onboard.
