The room is such an improvement over other Carnival ships! Love the mural. The balcony seems larger too.

My first balcony so I don’t know. Seems like it will be nice.

I'm getting the impression they took out the wax figures? No more Jackie Chan?

Geared to the American market, plus Chan is not "Italian."

There used to be wax figures of celebrities?  Do you remember other wax figures?  That's wild!

Is this a standard balcony? We have 8445 in Sept. we happy with the outlets, no shower curtain, and heard they have mini fridges.

Thank you Saint Greg for posting.

Remember this ship, although a Costa ship, was built exclusively for the China market, hence a wax figure of Jackie Chan. (ALL the public signage was in English and Chinese) When it was announced that Carnival was taking over the Ship John Heald said they weren't sure whether the wax figure collection would stay.

Here's the video of the Wax museum on the Costa Venezia, starting a minute 3:10

Caught up just in time for sail-away.  Great review so far, St Greg, Conquistador!

Looks like they needed the space, for a larger VIP Lounge.

Do you know where they were? 

[AmyJA]

Conquistador?? ! !?!? ?!

 

Now I'm singing Procol Harum.  Blast from the past.

I wonder if the tribals remember that time a couple months ago when I knew the average height of a conquistador off the top of my head.

It was Deck 5 right past the Aft Elevators in the hallway leading to the Carnivale Bar and Lounge.

They're gone.  There's a video in this thread of the lounge and its just seating now.

Pizza burger

 

[Saint Greg]

Yeah pizza burger is the way to go. If you like mozzarella sticks and marinara. This has a mozzarella stick patty on it.

 

[Saint Greg]

It’s pretty good. I just don’t know about this part. I think it’s fried pepperoni strips but they don’t taste like anything. Whatever they did they lost their flavor.
