Thanks for your views/opinions. We’re heading on the Venezia to Canada in September and I’m excited! I wanted to go to Canada since I’ve only done the Caribbean for 16 cruises. I wanted to always leave out of NY and lastly I wanted to check out a new kind of ship. Carnival is starting to annoy me with all their nickel and dimming, but I’m glad dinner was good as that’s not been so great on my last few. I watched all your videos of this series, I’m just not a commenter as I watch on my TV but have to go to my phone to comment. Thanks for doing a great job!
I haven’t done Canada/New England yet, but plan to at some point. I hope you have a great cruise. No worries about watching without commenting, I also watch a lot of YT vids on my TV, so I totally get it. Thanks for taking the time for this one, and thank you so much for watching!
I've been on Venezia 3 times(including the inaugural sailing). The staff has always been great. I loved the food and I just love cruising and getting away for a while. Cruising on Venezia 4 times this year including an upcoming back to back
I’ve not been on Liberty, but I have been on sister ship Freedom of the Seas, and it is one of my favorite ships. Venezia is newer, and super pretty. You can’t go wrong either way.
Was the Asian buffet an additional cost? I’ve read that on sea days, the Seafood shack serves Asian, but no one says whether there is a fee. Will be on the ship the end of the month.
I understand the nickel and diming part, but in retrospect...have you gone to a theatre recently and bought popcorn? I'm happy with $4 price point if I do want some popcorn lol! It could be a lot worse.
I stayed at the Hudson River Hotel. It’s not the fanciest ever, but it was fine for the night, and it’s very close to Pier 88 where the ship is located.
No irons or ironing boards because of fire concerns. I just bring a dewrinkle spray, and that seems to work for most things. Just make sure you hang up evening clothes as soon as your luggage is delivered. They also have laundry service on board. Some of my friends submit their fancy clothes on day one to have it ready for elegant night.
The ship looks nice but the food is awful in the main dining room and the buffet. If your room is on deck 2, you can forget about getting any sleep. The galley is on deck 3, and there is 24/7 banging very loud. Don't bother playing bingo because the winner is predetermined. I guess there too lazy to use a regular ball dispense machine. My first sailing on Carnival and my last. Ship is clogged with people on scooters.
Oh wow! Sounds awful. My experience wasn’t nearly that bad, and my friends and I got quite a few casino comps/perks. Every sailing is different, I guess. I’m sorry Carnival let you down. Happy sailing.
Ok full disclosure I am a New Yorker and I love my city but I will never ever cruise out of the New York Port again. I love Carnival I take a cruise every year this was the first time I was able to agree with the Walmart of the sea title. The class of people on this cruise is just awful and I spoke to so many staff members that stated they hated it.
I’ve heard that from others also, both about Carnival in Manhattan and MSC in Brooklyn. That’s not been my experience, but it does seem to be a concern/issue for people.
You were not boring at so I’m my opinion. I found this helpful as I am cruising for the first time this August.😊
Aw thanks 😊 Carnival Venezia will be a great first ship!
I think I would love this ship. The intimacy of the spaces and the "details" and artwork are very appealing. Thanks for your review.
Yeah, you totally would. She really is a gorgeous ship.
Great video.
Thank you for sharing.
We made reservations for July.
How did you enjoy your cabin?
Aw thanks for watching. I enjoyed my cabin. It was cozy and in a good location.
Loved your review! Honest and not too much chit chat! Heading on the Sept 14th sailing!
Aw ❤️ thanks! Only a couple of weeks away, you must be counting down the days. I hope you have the best cruise ever.
You're doing great, not boring at all ❤😊. Thanks for all the tips. I sail June 18th
Aw shucks ☺️ Oh! So soon. I hope you have the best cruise ever 😁

Please tell me where I can get a print/canvas of that beautiful painting of the titanic on your wall.❤
I got it on Amazon a few years back. They had multiple sizes if I recall correctly. This one is quite large.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Wow! You must know that ship inside and out. How cool 😃
Woww thanks for sharing after all bad reviews now I’m excited going in August
Have you been on RC Liberty of the Seas? Debating between Liberty & Carnival Venezia for Bermuda next year
I’ve not been on Liberty, but I have been on sister ship Freedom of the Seas, and it is one of my favorite ships. Venezia is newer, and super pretty. You can’t go wrong either way.

On this sailing, it was completely included. As far as I know, that is still the case.
Very good review. I wanted to know about the hotel close to port
Hey there. Thank you! I stayed at The Hudson River Hotel on 36th Street.
Thanks Travis. Going on the venezia 7/24. Very excited
Oh so soon. I hope you have the best cruise ever!

Thanks 4 the vid. Can I ask the name of the hotel u booked in nyc? Thanks again

Going on Venezia in a couple weeks
My guess is that you’re on board now, or will be boarding very soon. I hope you have the best cruise ever!
Totally agree with all your negative points. The worst was their format for the buffet line, just one straight line, it was always so congested.
Yeah, not the most efficient design.
Good over-all vlog 👍
Thanks for watching ❤️
Going on Venezia late September. Good tips. When are you on Jubilee? We are going November 2nd
Awesome! Enjoy. Jubilee for us will be November 9th through the 16th. Looks like we will just miss each other. Be sure to high-five on the way by. 😃
Hello did they have an iron room on board, if not what was the alternative?
No irons or ironing boards because of fire concerns. I just bring a dewrinkle spray, and that seems to work for most things. Just make sure you hang up evening clothes as soon as your luggage is delivered. They also have laundry service on board.

Thanks Travis!
Thank you so much for watching, Donna!
You said you went solo on this cruise. What did you do for dining? Did you get any share tables? I don't want to eat alone.
Hello Loretta. I was sat at a table with 7 other solos.
Nice Job 🎉
Just booked 11/4, excited to be back onboard! Lost your contact info btw!
Oh nice! I’ll be on Carnival Jubilee out of Galveston in Nov, but definitely would be perfectly happy up there on Venezia.
I refill the water bottles from the sink. Their water is filtered and very good!
Seems like a good idea to me!
I couldn’t buy a drink and a water at the same time. It was a little surprising. I didn’t have the drink package.
What? That’s craziness!
Going for new years eve
That will be a blast!
Going on Venezia in April out of Port Canaveral 2025
Sailing on June 10th! 🚢
Oh so soon! I hope you have a blast 😃
I never find you boring my guy
☺️
Going on this ship in August 24
Oh wow, that’s so soon. I hope you have the best cruise ever!
@@TravelingWithTravisdid you enjoy? Thinking of booking it for August 2025. I was thinking this Royal symphony of the seas.
The entertainment on this ship is everything! Especially the adult theme night 😂😂 ppl r DIRTY 🤣
Oh definitely, the Carnival Quest game gets pretty crazy.
I disagree. Oasis of the Seas was crowded on sea days. You couldn’t move!
