romalley99 Posted June 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Hello all, I didn't see a roll call started for this sailing, so I decided to make this one! Hope to meet some fellow cruisers before we set sail! 39 days to go! Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonne1990 Posted June 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2023 hi! cant wait-its getting so close! there is a pretty active facebook group for this sail. I am guessing its not so active here because its so short? Can't wait-the ship looks gorgeous! if its as nice as it seems I may need to book another that is longer for time to explore. I booked this to take my granddaughter but her parents said no so now i snagged a friend from church for a girls weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanamobo Posted June 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2023 We will be on this cruise with 9 family members celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary!! I hope this cruise will be great as several family members will be the first cruise. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillNY Posted June 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2023 We just booked and will be joining you on this cruise. It is surprising that there is so little activity on here. We are looking forward to exploring this newest addition to the Carnival fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romalley99 Posted June 14, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Welcome to you both. Yes, it's very quiet around here. I'm sure we will have a pretty much full ship, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillNY Posted June 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2023 If you are platinum or diamond on Carnival VIFP, you can now complete check-in, and secure the arrival time rest works best for you. General check-in starts Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanamobo Posted July 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Back from this cruise and not what I expected. 1. This ship is too small for 4,000 passengers 2. Both pools can’t accommodate this many passengers 3. Anytime dining on their app only works when Everyone from your group are together as you only have 10 minutes to show up or you are cancelled 4. No infant changing table in any of the public restrooms 5. The food wasn’t up to par unless you do specialty dining 6. The ship smells of cigarette smoke on decks 4 &5 This was our last cruise with Carnival. The staff was great and very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonne1990 Posted July 22, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I’m sorry you did not enjoy it. I found it the opposite. We did have a glitch the first night with dining. We had chosen 6pm but they moved us to anytime. We did use it the first night but were able to move it going forward. I never felt crowded at all. I can understand the changing table situation-I never saw any now that I think about it and we are not pool people so it wasn’t an issue. We always found plenty of seating where ever we went (although serenity did take a bit of wandering depending on the time). Overall the ship was beautiful and the staff and guests we encountered were lovely. We also did the chefs table and it was an amazing experience. The Venezia is a very different ship from a traditional carnival ship and will not be to everyone’s liking. But we had a blast and hated to leave.

We had 9 family members with us and we tried to be seated all together. Going forward on another cruise we will select first seating. My husband and I got spoiled doing Viking Ocean. This was our 50th anniversary with our family. I see your from Kingston, we live in the town of Newburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
