During my military days, I was stationed north of Venice for two years. I was a 19 year old kid and absolutely loved everything about Italy. Somedays if we were bored, we'd take the train to Venice, walk out of the train station & always find a cheap room for a couple of nights. Venice is one of my all-time favorite cities. Just wandering the city at all hours is a treat.
I agree, I love traveling with Tony! Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure...thanks Norwegian for asking Tony (and Doug and the rest of the vloggers) to see the progress on the new ship!
I was at the Tampa airport in 2021. We were visiting in from LA. One of the nicest airports I’ve ever been to. Haven’t been to Europe yet, but Italy is at the top of the list. Can’t wait to make it there one day, but I am not looking forward to the flight from Los Angeles. Thanks for sharing Tony.
This is an extremely informative video. Thank you for showing the process of getting to Venice and showing other very good information and experiences.
Such a beautiful city!! So glad you were invited and sharing this with us!! We hope to go to Italy next year for our 10th anniversary, to be toured by our amazing friends from Switzerland! We met them on a cruise, the beginning of the year- we hosted them in Florida and we so enjoyed their company!! Can’t wait!!
Hi, Tony! I have cruised extensively but mainly in the Caribbean. Thank you for exposing us to so many exotic, extravagant, and interesting places! Keep on cruising! 🚢✈🚆!!! Thank you! Aloha!
The minute I saw all that lattice work in your hotel room I had flashbacks of going to confession. LOL I also would have laughed at the 7k upgrade...ummmmm, no. I can't wait to see the Aqua. Thanks for making the trip!
This is so cool Tony! I’m booked on Explorer of the Seas, Ravenna to Barcelona next September and I’m flying into Venice for a few days before! You got me so stoked! Thanks man!!
This is so awesome!!!! Venice is beautiful already!!!! That’s so cool coming from the airport straight to the water!!!! Can’t wait to see more videos!! I know your so excited!!!!
What an incredible opportunity with NCL! Loved Venice last year. Spent a few days there before a Celebrity cruise out of Ravenna. Absolutely loved all of the alleys and just getting lost in the maze of Venice. Food was AWESOME. Have fun!!!
Venice, we just spent 3 days in Venice in May. Stayed at the Hotel Rialto right by the bridge. We were there during the Rigatta, which shut down the canal to only hand paddled boats for the day. What a great time. Good job getting NCL to pick up the tab. The taxi ride to the airport would have been $250€ for us, so we took the “bus” for 15€.
That’s awesome that you get invited to check out the ship yard. I just watched Doug’s video from the beautiful ocean and didn’t realize you were the camera man. Thumbs 👍🏼 up! Thanks Tony, have fun.
Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us, Tony B! Venice, and Italy in general, has been my absolute DREAM forever!! I really hope i can get there someday! The boat taxis are so cool!!!
This is so cool Tony! Thank you so much for bringing us along and how awesome that NCL brought y’all there! The flight prices are out of control. And I loved the water taxi! Can’t wait to see more!!
Congratulations being invited by NCL to the shipyard for the Aqua build. We cruise NCL all the time and would like to go on the Aqua so looking forward to your review. Love Venice and even with a map we got lost...it just added to the confusion!! Enjoy the coffee and proseco plus everything else of course.!!
I'm so excited for you, Italy is a fabulous country and one of our favorite cruises was out of Venice, I'm really looking forward to watching your experience there, I know you will have an incredible time!!!
That upgrade was STUPID! No one in their right mind would upgrade, which is too bad. Loved the first look at Venice. Haven't been there, on the bucket list. Looking forward to seeing more of your visit.
Yesss 7,000 insane, yeah thats GOOD CRUISE or VACATION money. Wow I’ve never seen this part of Venice and now is enough to make me want to go, everything super beautiful. Always wanted to visit places but this bit I’ve seen from Venice placed that destination in the top of my list. GREAT VIDEO, EXCITED TO SEE MORE ABOUT YOUR TRIP.
Tony you handle travel so gracefully! After that long trip, I would not be camera ready ! Looking forward to this trip videos because you do a wonderful job when taking us along . Travel safe, have a wonderful time, can't wait for your video to experience this with you!
You certainly scored and deserve it,,,,how wonderful...beautiful Tampa airport lounge and Venice airport and wowowowo water taxi right there and hotel...loveld this to the max...thank you. Yes...wild,,,$7000 to upgrade...but I guess it is Venice,,,someplace i deeply want to return.
Hi Tony. Glad you arrived safely. That was an insane amount of money for an upgrade. Especially since they had 7 empty seats. Enjoy your time in Venice. The hotel looks very nice. As always thank you for all you do ❤
International First Class is always insanely priced, even more so that domestic first class. Upgrading to First Class the day of the flight is always the most expensive to get a first class seat. It's opposite of cruise cabin upgrades.
Italy, a beautiful place, the tourist places can be very, very busy and pricey , a few streets/canals back, equally beautiful and cheaper ! The smaller towns and rural areas are just gorgeous !
Great video! I’ve never been to Venice either and the water taxies right at the airport is cool! $7K to upgrade on the flight? No way! Looking forward to the next video.
7K for the upgrade does seem high. Although I can see how it would be so tempting for an international flight. Your room looks so beautiful and colorful! Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures!
To be invited to see the progress of a ship being built, what a honor. Not to mention how cool is that. Can’t wait for more videos of this trip.
We're the lucky ones! 💙
They know that many thousands watch Tony's videos, so it's inexpensive advertising for them.

Hi Tony! Hi Sherri Doug and Ilana! What a great group, have the best time!
Enjoy Venice. The water taxis from the airport are amazing. So much to be seen from them.
It’s all so cool!
A taxi on the water from the airport!
Thanks for taking us along as always Tony!
Love this content and looking forward to more!

So exciting Tony! And you and Ilana together will be super cool. Two of my absolute favs. 😎 I have no doubt you will have a blast. ☺️

NCL updates!! Let’s Do This!… & you can’t beat live updates too!! 😎
That taxi was super cool. Beautiful hotel enjoy your trip you deserve it.
So beautiful to see Venice again! I was there 15 years ago. Pro tip: Don't get lost in the maze of alley ways! Enjoy your time there!
That's the charm of Venice, you MUST get lost at least once!
@@elainebyrne1039 100% -- you can't *really* get lost. But wandering around is fun!!
@@iocat I found that prices were much cheaper if you got off of San Marcos Square for food and drink.
Yea, get lost, but not really, because you are on an island.
Loved the guy in the airport hiding his face .lol 😳😳
😂
Venice looks amazing! Thank you for taking us along with you.
I am kind of new to cruising but I am now giving thought to a European trip to Venice! Thanks for sharing your fantastic adventures with us! ENJOY!
Never been to Venice but how amazing to see the water taxis at the airport like that....

Water Taxi is pricey, but really fun. Great city to visit!
Yes. That was our disembarkation Port on a Greece cruise and learned real quick that the water BUS is the way to go
That’s a pretty cool adventure Tony! Can’t wait to see all your posts from Venice ❤️🇨🇦
That’s awesome that you get invited to check out the ship yard. I just watched Doug’s video from the beautiful ocean and didn’t realize you were the camera man. Thumbs 👍🏼 up! Thanks Tony, have fun.
Tony i hope you have just the best time and safe travels.
Thanks for this upload. I hope you have a real nice time in Italy.

loved the video, had me grinning too with your enjoyment. so sweet
That upgrade is insane! $7,000! Much as I hate transAtlantic flights sitting up straight, hopeless to sleep, I can’t fork out that much dough!
Crazy beautiful ... thank you for sharing
Water taxi’s, Tony…the best!
You look so refreshed for being on a plane for 9 hours!
That is very cool, Tony !! I hope you are able to film some of what you see at the shipyard. It would be so interesting. have a great time !!
That upgrade was STUPID! No one in their right mind would upgrade, which is too bad. Loved the first look at Venice. Haven't been there, on the bucket list. Looking forward to seeing more of your visit.
Insane is an understatement, Tony 😮 Enjoy Venice! Make your way to the Casino di Venezia if you can 🤩
Venice looks wonderful! Have fun!
Thank you! Glad you got to see Venice!

The Guif of Venice is the water you see and it leads to the Adriatic Sea. Awesome you are invited there and get to see the ship! Enjoy Venezia!
Thanks Tony great introduction to Venice. Not a place I can go but great seeing it thru your eyes.
Look forward to the next episode. Enjoy.
Enjoy Italy, that’s you for sharing
Your video reminds me of our stay in Venice and the cruise ship left from there for our Mediterranean cruise.
That video of yours was so cool! I really loved it. I hope you are having or had a great time!!!
Such a wonderful experience! Hope you are able to go back for a Med cruise soon!
You are in excellent company! You will love love Venice. I need to go back. I got chills watching your video.
All my bags are packed, shout out Ludacris
Venice is such a magical place. Enjoy! Don’t forget to try some cicchetti!
Have a great time in Venice. I was there 2 years ago, it was phenomenal!
When we landed in Venice it was mid night and pouring rain. Took water taxi to our hotel on the Canal. Had so much fun.
Wow Tony what an awesome invite. I love Venice.
Wow! I would pass on that seat upgrade!!! The water taxi looked like a fabulous ride!
Whoa 7k!!??! Beautiful hotel enjoy!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love Italy. Enjoy. Safe travels.
That’s a neat event to go to. I hope you record everything.

lol Doug and Sherry lurking behind you. So fun. Loving every moment. Btw, Jenny looks adorable!

Makes me want to go back to Italy. Enjoy your trip.
I love Venice. Didn’t get to Lido while I was there. Spent most of my time on Venezia. Looks beautiful
love Italy, was there in 2019 left from Venice and water taxi to an airport is really weird and different. Enjoy!
Oh wow Tony!! So awesome🎉
Very interesting - might like to see Venice
CRUISE TIME!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
❤ Venice.
I took the train in from Padova a few years ago and noticed the Prima being finished at the Fincantieri shipyard. Enjoy!
I'll be in Venice next week for 2 nights, can't wait.
Great video! I’ve never been to Venice either and the water taxies right at the airport is cool! $7K to upgrade on the flight? No way! Looking forward to the next video.
7K for the upgrade does seem high. Although I can see how it would be so tempting for an international flight. Your room looks so beautiful and colorful! Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures!
I was in Venice last fall. I loved it so much.
Venice is beautiful. I was there last year. I hope to return one day.
