HAS CARNIVAL GONE DOWNHILL? Our Latest Cruise Experience...

Editorial Summary

Travel creators Elisa and Jason share their experiences following a four day cruise on the Carnival Venezia, a ship originally built for the Costa brand. They begin by discussing the logistics of sailing out of New York City, noting that while the Manhattan skyline views are magnificent, the city is expensive and transportation from the airport can be a hassle. The creators describe the ship as having a unique Italian flair that differs from traditional Carnival vessels, specifically noting the redesigned Lido deck and the beautiful gondola-themed dining area. While they praise the entertainment, including high quality comedy shows and karaoke, they express frustration with long lines for food and crowded pool areas due to the ship being at high capacity. They also touch upon the food quality, offering mixed reviews on the buffet while highlighting specialty options like the pepperoni pizza burger and El Avaggio. Despite witnessing some passenger outbursts and seeing drug dogs on board, the creators conclude that the ship is beautiful and fun, ultimately recommending it to others.
