The Carnival Venezia Cruise Ship Is BETTER Than You Think

Carnival Venezia ship reviews seem to be far more critical than positive. But don't be concerned. A 2024 cruise on the Carnival Venezia will be a wonderful vacation because the ship itself is one of the more beautiful and modern of the Carnival Cruise Line fleet. I spent 9 days on this Carnival ship to the Bahamas and enjoyed a Carnival Venezia Balcony Stateroom, several of the specialty Carnival Venezia restaurants, entertainment, free space relaxation areas and much more.
So before you pass on this cruise because of some of the things you may have read, join me for a Carnival Venezia ship tour of some of the best things about the experience overall and one thing that is both a best and worst aspect of this stunning vessel.

Just got home from a 10 day, had the pleasure of having a terazza cabana balcony. I don't think I could ever go back to a regular balcony now. The peaceful exclusive area is a game changer. The 2 private lounge chairs and the hammock was the most relaxing. There were many times the 2 private hot tubs myself or my wife were the only ones in. You will meet your neighbors who are much more respectful in comparison to other rooms.

Great content. I did a 12 day October 28th 2023 and absolutely LOVED the Venezia! ALL the different seating nooks just like you said ALL around the ship were absolutely spectacular! Why people would expect for this ship to be just like all the other Carnival ships is beyond me. Smh. I actually prefer this layout over the more traditional Carnival ships. 👌🏾

I’m excited for our cruise on the Venezia, we prefer smaller ships less crowded. Carnival is brilliant for bringing back new smaller ships, I think it’s targeted more towards older people or people that are more comfortable with smaller ships. Less children on board and less crowded atmosphere. We’ve been on Carnivals new ship’s Mardi Gras and celebration, they are beautiful!

@SoloCruiseTravel
@SoloCruiseTravel 23 дня назад
It really is more elegant and the theme throughout is a lot more fun than most of the new Vista class ships that just sorta seem modern without a theme. I will be boarding the sister ship to the Venezia next month the Firenze and it looks nearly identical to this ship with just a few color twists and it looks like a couple additions. I only want to do these ships now! Have a great cruise.

Thanks for this vid. 😊 Booked the Magic but Carnival changed it to the Venezia (6/19/23, 8 day cruise off Manhattan). For some reason, the crew seemed so disorganized, cranky, & unfriendly, except for a few. Smiling or being pleasant to the guests seemed too much. School was out so it was super crowded. There was no available space in the limited number of swimming pools. Small vessel, comparatively. We liked the Magic more, tbh. Loved dancing in the lounge, the food, the ports. So many activities (Carnival is awesome with that). Loved the cruise director, our waiters, and the asst head (dining). They made up for the cranky ones. Had time to peruse the cute little library. Read an Evanovich book that had me laughing out loud. It’s been years since I actually had time to read a book to relax. My hubby met a new friend during that trip. New friend and his wife (and their children) become our friends since then. Great quality people. We are going back again this summer with our couple-friends. God willing. Same boat. Convenient. No flying needed. Much needed break from work and grad school. Most of all, time with my hubby (love of my life). 🎉🛳️ 🥂🍝🎈🏖️ 💝🐼Nurse A.

While we were at sea the ship lost power. We sat in our cabins in the dark while the issue was resolved. I did not find the ship all that luxurious. I felt it was shabby in design.
