RealAmyD Posted August 4, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Awesome Susan!! My Mum and I will be on this cruise together! I can't wait! We are from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.It will be perfect timing to miss the last bit of winter and come home to spring back home! 🎉🎉🎉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stb51 Posted August 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Great! I usually sail with my daughter, but she is going to be a new mom in December, so she will be VERY busy! Mother-daughter trips are such fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruin8 Posted August 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2023 My DW Debbie and I (Joe) will be joining you on this cruise from Spokane, Washington. First time cruising out of New York and looking forward to seeing the big city for the first time. Celebrating our wedding anniversary while onboard the ship. Any sight seeing trips planned: before, during or after our cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealAmyD Posted August 28, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted August 28, 2023 So happy to see a couple more people join the roll call! Mum and I will be heading to NYC on the Wednesday before we sail. Our plan is to "New York around" for a day and a half! We haven't made any plans for excursions while on the cruise. Honestly I think we will just find the best beach at each port and snorkel, nap and read on the beach! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceGirlNYC Posted October 30, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thinking about booking this cruise. Never cruised Carnival before... Do you guys like Carnival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianneyaya Posted December 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2023 HI! Dave & Marianne from Connecticut here. We sailed on the Venezia in October and enjoyed it so much we had to book again! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAKandA Posted January 29 #9 Share Posted January 29 My wife and I will be traveling up from Virginia for our Honeymoon. I haven't cruised since 2007, wife is a first-timer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAKandA Posted January 29 #10 Share Posted January 29 Also... I am a Pastor and my wife and I were hoping to find other Christians to pray with, have meals with or just plain socialize with while sailing. We're in the 40-50 age group, but we can talk, act and can keep up with anyone from their 20's to their 90's just fine. 🙂 If you'll be on this cruise and would also like what we're hoping to find, please feel free to reply to this message or you can message me privately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisingfan87 Posted February 3 #11 Share Posted February 3 Hi all. Me (Stephanie) and my fiancée (Wayne) will be joining you all from right here in NY!!!! We both haven’t been on carnival since we were kids and decided to give it a try for our honeymoon!🥰🥰 I was looking at some of the fun hands on excursions, but can’t decide. If anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodocomo Posted February 7 #12 Share Posted February 7 Hi All, My wife (Rhondi) and I (Phil) are looking forward to another sailing. We currently live in Lasalle, Ontario across the river from Detroit (Rhondi is a Detroit girl). This is only our 11th cruise but our first on Venezia. We were planning on being in New York in May but are now combining the trips and will be arriving in New York the Tuesday before sailing. We've made many friends on our cruises but always from elsewhere in Canada or the U.S. and have relied on social media to stay in touch. Two years ago while on the Horizon we met an awesome couple from Michigan and now see them regularly (even though he's a Buckeye fan). The 4 of us will be sailing together on this one. Can't wait!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy079 Posted February 14 #13 Share Posted February 14 Jim from NJ here - Solo cruiser on this one and this will be my first Carnival Cruise - long time NCL cruiser but couldnt pass up the deal I got on a balcony room for this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saqwineguy Posted March 13 #14 Share Posted March 13 My wife and I are booked. It's our 11th carnival cruise but 1st from NYC(we are from Montreal). Great deal on this cruise but we're a little worried about so many sea days. How is boarding process in NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tex Posted March 20 #15 Share Posted March 20 Hi everyone. We are Paul and Alene from the UK. We have cruised a few times now but never with Carnival. Looking forward to a different experience. We are flying out to New York a couple of days early to enjoy the City, also first time in New York. We were married on a Princess cruise in the Caribbean,14 years ago and missed Grand Turk due to a hurricane, so really excited to be going to this port. All the others look perfect for a little wander and beach experiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlle Posted March 30 #16 Share Posted March 30 We'll be joining you on this cruise. The Venezia is a beautiful, fun ship!! Looking forward! Marian and Barnett (NJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears. What type of excursions do you think you would enjoy? At the ports we are going to there is so much free beach / pool opportunties... the only place I book excursions for is Nassau... and there I book the adults only beach option. But many people like the "active" excursions, and if so there are so many good options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit crowded at the start, but after you get past the check in... it was very quick. However do note I do have Platinum status, and that might have contributed to it.

But as you said there seem to be many beach/pool things to do and we may lean into that (I love clear water and sun☀️🌊) I could spend all day in the ocean.

skywalkr2 Posted April 10 #21 Share Posted April 10 Just reminder that Platinum and up can setup their arrival times as of midnight last night. Everyone else you can go midnight tomorrow night (4/12 AM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzlvrs4ever Posted April 17 #22 Share Posted April 17 Hey all! DH Ken and I (Cindy) will be on this cruise. Can't wait to get away from work and relax and meet other nice cruisers! We were on this ship in December 2023 and it is indeed beautiful! Do hope food quality has improved since then. Seeing Lady Liberty on the sail out choked this Michigan girl up, but in a good way!
