Thanks Heather! You've been with us from the very beginning. Go Devils! 👹

Go Sens, but I'm not happy with them tonight. 😐

Thanks, Jeff and Patti, for another well-done review.  Looking forward to the next one.

Great timing with this review. Been on the fence for a bit on both of these itineraries.

Glad I got to see all the beautiful, interesting, and historical pictures in the meantime.

Had a great offer for a 12 night Venezia sailing next November but I just couldn't commit to 6 sea days so the search continues☹️

Bravo!

Thank you for another great review! Will Ryan ever make it back to sea with you? I really appreciate how thoughtful Patti is with her photos, showing just about everything as you travel. Your commentary flows so well. I feel like I'm reading a really good book every time I follow one of your reviews. Thank you again for taking us along ❤️⚓️

Thanks for your kind words. As of now there are no plans for Ryan to cruise with us. However,  he is spending a week with us in Florida this January,  so that's a step in the right direction! 😃

Patti’s not leaving the cabin tonight. At 7pm I make my way to the Limelight Lounge for a PG Comedy Showcase starring John Knight and Merl Hobbs……  

 

 

Comedy Club Host Lisa Marie is getting the show started. This is going to be her last show as she is leaving the ship to go on vacation tomorrow. She did a great job. Clare will be taking over as Comedy Club Host starting with the next show later tonight…..

 

 

 

 

John Knight takes the stage first…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now it is Merl Hobbs turn…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both comedians were very good. On my way back to the cabin I passed through the Atrium where Impromptwo were playing…….

 

 

 

Back at the cabin we put out our luggage to be picked up. We had barely got the suitcases out in the hallway when they came and swooped them up. We didn’t even get a chance to take the sad suitcase pictures!

 

Coming up next: All good things must come to an end.

Merl Hobbs was on the Panorama in August. Our best friends and the hubby and I took our three grandsons. We went to Merl’s show which was great and the boys loved it. They had never been to a comedy show so wanted a pic after with Merl which he happily obliged. Turns out he lives about 20 miles from us in Southern California, small world! 
 

Thank you so much for another wonderful review, Patty’s photos are gorgeous as always. I loved the Firenze and am looking forward to the Venezia in November 2025. It will be the hubby’s first and undoubtedly only time visiting NYC but I plan to drag him around to see as much as he can take! 😜

Another wonderful review and photos! I always look forward to reading along your travels. Patty's photos are outstanding. Beautiful and detailed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thoughts!  Looking forward to your next adventure!

Patti heads up to the Lido to check out the Festa Italiana…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patti peeks into the Piano Bar where Hans is playing……

 

 

 

These are the comedians for the last two nights of the cruise…..

 

 

 

Patti then went and got us a pizza and brought it back to the cabin. Thanks babe!

 

Coming up next: Our last day aboard the Carnival Venezia.

Thank you for this review. As I’m reliving my cruise thru this. And I’m in one of your pictures from Fiesta Italiano Night. I’m the one in the yellow shirt holding the iPad recording the violinists in the lower right. This is James and it was nice meeting you and Patti. Looking forward to your next review. Would it be OK if I saved a couple of pictures Patti took, as I had excursions in every port and didn’t see some of these things you 2 did. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for another great review. Makes me want to check out that Canadian itinerary.

 

Enjoy your Sunday of Football and beer!!

[Crusin Karen]

You and Patti never disappoint! The picture of the sun setting thru the bridges window is amazing! Most people on here have a particular ship or itinerary on their bucket list; the top of my list is sailing with you someday from our beautiful homeport! Hope you’re both feeling better and enjoying your Sunday. GO YANKEES ! 🤞👍🤞

I’ve been waiting for them to post ‘26 schedule from Manhattan. I’ll be on Venezia 5/26/25. I’ll be on MSC Meraviglia 11/3 with DS 1, DIL and 5 young (very well behaved lol) grands. 🤪 After cruising solo past 5 cruises, that’s going to be quite a different experience! 😵‍💫

Jeff & Patty thanks for another great review
