Avoid Venezia at all costs.

[kona_wahine]

I’m on the Venezia now also and definitely have a different opinion on most of what OP has. The check in was a breeze, even with no priority as it was a journeys cruise, we were on fast. The crew are exceptional. So friendly, nice, welcoming, and helpful. The dining room is beautiful, and service fast, food has been really good. I have seen no dirt or stains. I really have no idea what OP is talking about! We have the cheers program and we are on deck 10. After a couple days we just walk up and the bartenders knew us and literally just pull a Corona out for hubby and hand it to him. They are awesome! 
 

getting to deck 12 is a bit of a pain, we just go into the interior stairs and go up that way. I really like deck 11 area over lido but don’t understand why they didn’t include stairs up from there. But not that big a deal.

 

casino smoke is probably my only real complaint. At points I think they try to use some kind of air cleaner that is strong perfume smell but doesn’t work well. But smoke smell is very strong. I’m up a couple hundred so I’m taking my winnings and staying away from there! And yes, I booked a “free” casino rate inside room. ☺️. 

 

ship is beautiful, the crew is great, food is very good (much better then the other cruises post pandemic) and we always find so to do. 
 

oh yea, the fellow cruisers….. I will say, and IDK if it’s because it’s out of NYC, but ya, lots of RUDE cruisers. One lady complained when several people got on HER elevator. 🤷‍♀️) Lots of complaining about nothing. The ice wasn’t working one morning on buffet and a woman says to me that she will never sail Venezia again. Just really rude and ME attitudes.

We get on Thursday😄.  Ugh, I can’t stand people like that!  Please don’t cruise with 3000-4000 other people if you are going to act like you are the only one on the ship.  Bigger issues in life going on than ice in the buffet!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Welp.....just saw a Sixtysomething woman stand up at her table during the mdr staff dance performance and shake her finger at multiple performers.  

 

She wanted a four top for her party of two and she wanted it NOW! 

 

Ok, that might qualify as an ugly american tourist.

I have no patience with people like that and I have no trouble telling them exactly what I think of their behavior, as necessary.

I implore you to please listen and heed the OP's advice.

 

That way the ship won't be as crowded when we board her next month. 😃

I rest my case. 😎

I was on that sailing that missed Bermuda and there were plenty of a-hole guests treating the crew like crap - I'm guessing the OP was one of them.  I stand by my earlier comment that the ship and crew were great!

I did not take pictures of the deteriorating ship. Go on the ship, and see for yourself. Obviously the CDC report is a joke. I am not going to answer any more questions or react to any more posts. I want to put this pathetic cruise behind me now , and not ever think of it again. 

Please put all Carnival ships behind you - people like you are not wanted or needed onboard.  (Actually, any vacation, anywhere, please)

And check this post - clearly the carpets aren't stained everywhere...  I'm starting to think the OP was talking about their own home?
