We Got Upgraded On Our First Carnival Cruise (Carnival Firenze)

Editorial Summary

The creators document their first day aboard the Carnival Firenze, noting several unexpected experiences during the embarkation process. They describe a confusing boarding procedure that required them to print physical boarding passes and encounter drug sniffing dogs. Upon entering the ship, they observe a decor style that they compare to Las Vegas or Caesar's Palace rather than traditional Italy. While they initially struggle with long elevator waits, they find the ship's atrium and overall character to be fascinating. A significant highlight of their trip is an unexpected room upgrade, as they discover they have a windowed cabin instead of the interior room they anticipated. They also receive personalized welcome amenities and special attention from the restaurant staff. The creators visit Guy's Burgers for a meal and explore the main dining room, noting that the food offers a different flavor profile than other cruise lines. They conclude their first day by attending a welcome show and expressing that the ship is more enjoyable than they initially expected.
