Review summary

Second cruise on Carnival Venezia. As good or even slightly better than first. We knew the layout, knew the elevator system, knew the food we wanted to eat. Elevators are great if used correctly. There are pods by the elevator. You simply push the floor u want once for each person. That is key. It will give you an elevator letter. You stand there and wait for your elevator. Pretty simple yet for some very difficult. Casino was a premier party and in the end it was worth it. They lied about Drink PKG as it was only in the Casino. However they perks otherwise we're beyond expectations. So I immediately took 600.00 out of my gambling money and bought my drinks for 9 days.

Ship tip

If you get the drink PKG in Casino only prepare to be let down. Somewhat small venues, so arrive early. Cocktails 17.00 per so best to buy drink PKG.
