Carnival Venezia Cruise Reviews - Reviews

For some reason shipmate won’t let me post my pics of the trip and ship. But when available I’ll will post them 👍 for the first time we try the chefs kitchen. ( WOW ) cruiser’s I highly recommend this function. It was top notch and the crew of the kitchen, the chef, and the folks we sat on the table was GREAT 👍 We had so much fun and the food was amazing. ( one hint ) when going to this function eat very lightly hours before attending. This is a 9 course dinner. ( yes 9 ) sometimes is good to raise your pinky finger and feel good about it. That was told to me from one of couples that was with us in the kitchen. Yes, I will be doing this from now on. ( only once ) per cruise 😎😎 The heroes bar was nice the bartender name Anthony was great 👍 he would come during game time wearing a referee shirt 😳 As for the whole trip, This ship is for older crowds who just want to relax and enjoy everything around including having fun with others. This was my 58th birthday trip from my other half. She did a great job 👏 Cruiser’s just try it 👍 the ship is beautiful in the inside, but the food is still carnival if you know what I mean ( regular food ) buffet, and so on👍 with a few Italian dishes. Like I always say is what makes you happy and fun when cruising in general 😎😎 Until my next cruise, this coming thanksgiving week. I’ll be on the horizon heading to the abc islands 👍😎 like always I’ll be posting my views and pictures ( if I find a way ) to post 😳

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

Bermuda was amazing! I loved spending two days so much I booked another cruise (on another cruise line) that stays 3 days!

Leaving out New York was beautiful .cruise itself was nice staff friendly want be disappointed

Great cruise would recommend ,great ship as well..

If you are not ok with lines, enjoy football both College and Pros,but can't see it except in 1 bar, like getting on your fav slot machine, getting drinks in a timely fashion in the Casino, and some help that needs far more training in Hospitality, than Venezia is 4 you. I'm back on it next month and at this point not looking forward to it.

The cruise was amazing. This is my 6th cruise (my 4th with Carnival). I was surprised that security was walking around all over the ship though.

Fun get away, but it came with a few challenges. Overall the boat is really nice, but quite different than any other Carnival ship we have been on.

The ship and staff is amazing. We are from Boston, so it was easy to drive to.

Will never go on this ship again. Probably won’t go out of NY for a while either even though it is most convenient

It was a great time with a large group (75people). We all had a great time.

The boarding was great. The sail out of New York was great, regarding the view and ambience. The food was good. There were only 2 very small pools which were very overcrowded, and one was closed most of the time. The Kids club was nice but not stimulating enough for my 7 and 8 year old. The Mini Golf and the aerial zipline were very entertaining for the kids but the Zipline was closed for most of the time. Regarding the included meals, there were many specialty items, which made the cost of the dinners almost as if it was not all included in the price. Bermuda was a great destination.

Loved this cruise. Go to all parties. Awesome ports. We loved everything about this cruise and want to go again.

A lot of entertaining shows and good food workers really good and a lot of different places to relax, lots of chair options on pool deck and many different food place options

Had a wonderful time and already looking to do it again next year.

will start cruising on Royal for now on, food was horrible and I'm not picky, need a adult only pool, buffet options were brutal, even Guys burgers went down hill

We enjoyed this cruise and would consider Carnival again for a future cruise- just not in July. It's way TOO crowded in July and some of the people are rowdy. Carnival attracts a younger crowd and more people of colors and Latinos than we have seen cruising on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line. This was something we liked BUT we also found that Carnival passengers get more rowdy and combined with long lines at the buffet, bars, and inability to enjoy the pools, it was inconvenient. This is a beautiful ship and it offers a lot to do that you really can't do it all in 8 days. If using the pools and having bars with later hours are important to you, consider a different Carnival ship that has bigger/ more pools and extended hours for their bars. Or try another cruise line that offers this.

Overall, I was definitely disappointed with the food. I also did not like the main dining room's, Marco Polo, decor and layout. It was very claustrophobic. I would not do this cruise again.

Great time with friends and family. recommend this for a short weekend getaway

Excellent cruise! Not my favorite layout but still great!
