Review summary

Venezia is a beautiful ship and the island of Bermuda is stunning. I would definitely recommend this ship and itinerary.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went surprisingly well! I was apprehensive, since this was our first time sailing out of NYC. I had heard horror stories. But our Uber driver was AWESOME, and got us there in good time, especially in all the NYC traffic.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Il Viaggio and the Streakhouse restaurants were excellent and well worth the money spent. I highly recommend both! MDR was good most nights and of course Guys burgers and Tomodoro (Blue Iguana) are always good. The buffet…..that was another story. Not good at all. But, thankfully, Carnival always has a lot of other options to choose from.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Can always find something to do. Gym was very small for this ship. I only went once.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The live entertainment on my sailing was top notch! We enjoy sitting around and listening to the music and singers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Carnival has the best staff…..always so friendly and hard working.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is stunning and always felt clean. Our stateroom was always kept up nicely by our room steward. The staff works very hard.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin. Great location midship and it was plenty big enough for the two of us.

Ports of call

New York, New York

5 out of 5
My first time back in NYC in years. We spent 2 extra days there before the trip. Very busy, congested….but that’s all part of the excitement of being in New York. My family and I had a blast! Definitely go see a broadway show (highly recommend Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and eat some great food!

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Our first time in Bermuda and it was so beautiful. We had gorgeous weather. It was nice being in port for several days. We went to Hamilton, Crystal Caves, and even rented a pontoon boat one day for our own private use and just boated all around the island. Such a wonderful vacation.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This went surprisingly smooth as well! Getting off the ship is a breeze…..navigating the traffic in NYC after you step off the ship is challenge. LOL. It was fine though. I chalk it up as all part of the experience and charm of the city.
