I think this ship is stunning! I like where Carnival went with this ship in terms of class and decor. You can tell they really paid attention to detail and that it is for a person who appreciates a more sophisticated style of cruising. I can't wait to sail on this ship!
The tour and video has gotten me excited. We have booked a cruise for this ship next July. Thanks Mr Parker for this video and your daily cruise news. Best two minutes with my morning coffee.
Thank you for the great tour. Can't wait to be on this ship come December. This really helped me plan out what areas we will want to hang out in. Love the Venetian vibe.
Doug! excellent video! I love this ship! its gorgeous and a wonderful easy way to vacation, relax and get away and play in Venice- themed style! I am sold and will sail on this gorgeous ship this year! Thank you Doug.
Doug, I loved it. But it is very different. But it's also leaving from NY! So I guess that could be expected. I may sail on it. Thank you for the tour. Vicki
I was waiting for this ship tour and you never disappoint! I really like the look of this ship! It looks similar to the Panorama but also different. I’m waiting on the Firenze to arrive out here on the west coast so I can try one of these Costa/Carnival ships.
I love it Doug! I haven’t sailed it yet, but all that I’ve seen to-date is beautiful. I’ve just booked the Firenze for summer 2024 and I’m hoping it’s as different from other Carnival ships as the Venezia is. Different is not bad always bad in my opinion. I love the more open area feel to this ship and from pictures I’ve seen of the Firenze it appears about the same. Maybe I can get on the Venezia before the Firenze. Thanks for sharing my friend. You know I’m biased and absolutely love your ship tours done when there is absolutely no one about to disrupt the views. Stay blessed. ✌🏾🚢🥰
We are booked on the Venezia in November. We have sailed all the Dream class and two of the Vista class. It looks very similar. I will miss the Red Frog Rum Pub. But with your descriptions and excellent tour, my hopes are high and my expectations are ready for "different".
Great Job.....I enjoyed the video! My wife and I are going to be on the Venezia in March of 2025 to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I am even more excited about it after watching your video. I actually like that some cruisers found it to be so "un-carnival....! We thought the same thing when we sailed the Mardi Gras and we absolutely love that ship! Again, thanks for posting!
Oh Doug !!! You SOOO know what you’re talking about. Great video. Loved your detailed walk through. The Vista class came out so quickly behind The other class of ships I didn’t bother to study and explore. They look lovely. At least Venezia does. Loved the colors. The atmosphere seemed sophisticated but chill, and I love the outdoor spaces on deck 5 ala NCL. My brother and I are considering a cruise on her. This may have just tipped the scale. 🤔🤔🤔🙏🏼. As always buddy, thanks for the info
The Venezia looks awesome. I love that it is different (very Italian) from the rest of the fleet, but still has all tge carnival stuff I love: Guy's Burgers, 555, Ocean Plaza, Piano 88, Bonsai Sushi, and all the amazing Carmival entertainment. Looking forward to going on Venezia out of NYCi in 2025.
I’ve actually sailed Costa Venezia last fall, right before the transit to Carnival. What I’ve seen in you video is the exact same ship with an exterior paint job en some restaurants and bars that look exactly the same but have been rebranded and renamed. Venezia was made for the Chinese market. It’s an Asian view on how Europe looks in their eyes. I’m European myself (Dutch) but the decor (although marvelous) is way over the top according to my taste. But hey, it’s a holiday vessel so why not make it larger than life! Thx for the tour! Had a pretty special vacation on there!
My wife and I are taking a cruise out of Manhattan on the Venezia on February 3 2024. Can't wait to see this ship, the Italian theme looks awesome. When I booked the cruise I had no idea it was an Italian theme, we were just looking to get away from the cold weather for 9 days. This is a definite bonus. We were in Las Vegas and ate dinner at the Venetian where they have the Italian theme Gondola, it was a great experience. Can't wait for this cruise!
I'm going to be sailing on the Venezia in October. Looking forward to Halloween on the ship. I love how Carnival decorates their ships for the holidays.
Found this after watching your news video..Yesterday, I was in San Juan, PR on Seabourn Quest with the Carnival Venezia docked on the next pier. On its aft side it had “Carnival Fun Italian Style.” I was wondering what it was like … and now I know. I think they did a great refurbishment. 🙏
She is beautiful and I haven’t been on a Carnival cruise ship before, I am going on Carnival Luminosa next year here in Australia 🇦🇺 where I live and I have seen a video of her and I think she is a lovely one too and I love the new livery on the outside too it really makes the ships easily distinguishable too
Going on the Venezia in April 2025. We are excited and your video definitely gave us the insight on what we want and need on a ship. Thank you so much, loved it!
Thanks for the tour, Doug! The Venezia is definitely different than other Carnival Cruise ships from the standpoint it comes off as more elegant. All the Italian artwork, marble and sculptures. Even the cabins look classier than the standard Carnival cabin. I do think this creates a quandary that you touched on when you asked long term Carnival cruisers if they liked the ship and how they responded to your question. Carnival cruises equates to more budget friendly cruising and more of the FUN/Party atmosphere. The Venezia looks like it is more upscale cruise ship trying to keep the FUN by using an Italian accent to say it...but the party part is subdued! I don't think this ship fits the average Carnival Cruiser demographic because of the upscale look & feel. Also renaming a lot of the venues/bars/restaurants just so they sound "Italian" loses something in translation. ;-)
Been waiting for this, we're booked on her in March, looks beautiful! Can't wait! Whenever I have to show someone a ship, always come to your page, great tours!
From someone who has cruised many times over the past 20 years, primarily with Carnival this ship does offer some variations to the usual ships and I would be interested trying out the Venezia!
Thanks for the review ... me and my family just came from our summer vacation in Carnival Mardigras, and now we are looking forward the next vacation, and we really love everything that you showed in this one Carnival Venezia. 😁😁😉
Thanks! I’d love to cruise on the ship. We have kind of gotten bored with the same “Carnival look” and this ship looks so different. It’s on my list. Thanks for the tour!
Nice video. We're actually sailing on the Firenze. But this is a good example of what we will see there I'm sure. Lots of design similarities to the Vista and panorama.
Great Tour Doug, How did You like Your Cruise on Her? No Red Frog I will have to find a New Hang-out . How did You like the Ship and what Cabin did You have? Thanks for taking Us along .. See You Tomorow am ...
Super excited to sail on her! We're booked on her repositioning cruise in December 2024. Twelve days starting in NY, through the Southern Caribbean, ending in Port Canaveral. She's beautiful. Great tour, Doug! Thanks!
Happy July 4th Birthday Doug! What a great video of the Venezia! I'm looking to book as soon as possible while she is up here in NYC. You had me chuckling as you were describing the Canal Grande aft YTD and it's beautiful gondola. But you did refer to it as a kayak near the end! Slip of the tongue I guess? Thanks again. Kathleen/NJ
So a former costa cruises crew member and a year ago I was working onboard in this beautiful ship at the duty free shops. This karaoke back then was known as a teen zone, there was never a karaoke onboard costa venezia. Where’s the currently salon was my actual shop. It used to be a perfume shop. I remember when one day someone from carnival Grp came and said that space would become a hair salon! Before it was an Italian ship and it’s sort of weird to to her all Americanized with Italian things that doesn’t even exist, such a frozen limoncello lol. Anyway, than for the video though.
I was trying to get on this ship before it moves to Orlando. It's not looking good due to my having to work. It's definitely on my list. I like different.
Thanks for the tour! We are actually going on the Firenze next September and not the Venezia but I wanted to get an idea of the Venice class of ships. We were the first cancellation of the Panorama this past November and decided to use our 100% FCC on the Firenze instead since it is going the same route to the Mexican Riviera! Hopefully we will have better luck this time! Happy Holidays Doug and Family!
Beautiful ship! Excellent video as usual. Nice job !!! I was in the elevator with you onboard the Carnival Celebration back in December. It has taken until now for me to recognize who you were. I knew I Knew your face but couldn't quite come up with the name or where I knew you from.
I hated this video! 😜😜😜
Screw you, beet farmer.
😆😆😆
@@CruiseRadioThis is a first video I’ve seen of yours. Usually, I’m watching @LaLidoLoca since Tony is AWESOME! 😂
I caught it at the end!!! lol
I'm going on vacation in 2024
We are sailing two weeks from today with friends who have never cruised. We are going to have a blast. 🎉
I think this ship is stunning! I like where Carnival went with this ship in terms of class and decor. You can tell they really paid attention to detail and that it is for a person who appreciates a more sophisticated style of cruising. I can't wait to sail on this ship!
Doesn’t look like a kid friendly ship, I like it
😂
I'm looking forward to spending 9 days on this ship without the kids come February.
@@elijahclark6093best time to cruise to escape the winters
NO WAY😭😭😭
Jaja well I'm going with my kids
It’s definitely different but I love it I think Carnival Fun & upscale décor sounds like a perfect cruise for me.
The tour and video has gotten me excited. We have booked a cruise for this ship next July. Thanks Mr Parker for this video and your daily cruise news. Best two minutes with my morning
coffee.
Hope you enjoy it! My pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Yes!!! So happy that there is a Cruise Radio ship tour for this ship now. Can’t wait to sail on this ship in September! Thanks Doug!
Thanks. We have a cruise booked next year on this ship. Your video was great.
Thank you for the great tour. Can't wait to be on this ship come December. This really helped me plan out what areas we will want to hang out in. Love the Venetian vibe.
Been on several Carnival ships and I Love that it is different from other Carnival ships.
It is def different than the other vista class ships.
I'm booked next November 2024 it seems a step up from other Carnival ships I have been on.
this looks sooo cool! im so exited for this cruise that i have IN 2 DAYS!!!!
Me Too!
Enjoy your cruise !!
How did it go? Did you like the ship?
Doug! excellent video! I love this ship! its gorgeous and a wonderful easy way to vacation, relax and get away and play in Venice- themed style! I am sold and will sail on this gorgeous ship this year! Thank you Doug.
Fantastic Tour!! You really know how to do it. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, Jeffrey.
We are boarding on Friday for a 10 day out of New York. Super excited after watching your video!
Have fun!
I'm cruising on this ship out of NY aswell. How did you like it? Honest review. Was it packed out of NY?
@@Iprez wasn’t too bad. Terminal was easy and boarding was quick! Loved it. It was myself, wife, and 16 month old.
I absolutely loved rome and venice when we spent 2 weeks visiting friends and now I cant wait to spend 9 days enjoying this ship in February
Doug, I loved it. But it is very different. But it's also leaving from NY! So I guess that could be expected. I may sail on it. Thank you for the tour. Vicki
You’re welcome.
Helpful video. We're sailing on this ship for the first time in a few days!
I LOVE IT!!! I HAVE A BOOKING ON THIS SHIP FEBRUARY 2025😆😆😆
We will be on Feb 22nd till March 8th 14day...
Us too, Feb 9 - 16.
January 5 2025 here
Costa is the first line I sailed with and will always have a special place in my ❤.
Love the LOL comment you signed off with!
Wow! This ship is more impressive than I thought it would be.
I was waiting for this ship tour and you never disappoint! I really like the look of this ship! It looks similar to the Panorama but also different. I’m waiting on the Firenze to arrive out here on the west coast so I can try one of these Costa/Carnival ships.
Very kind, thank you.
Thanks!
You bet! Very kind. Thank you.
@@CruiseRadio I like the Tony remark LOL
I like the look of this ship. We are sailing on the Venezia in Sept 2024. Love the Serenity area.
Same here
What do you think of Carnival Venezia from what you've seen?
It is absolutely GORGEOUS magnificent! Love it so much 😊
Blow my mind INCREDIBLE! ❤
Incredible! Can’t wait for my sailing in her from Sep 29-14

We are taking it for our honeymoon in May. Please post a review. I heard it was full of old people.
We will be on that cruise also!
I'm going to be sailing on the Venezia in October. Looking forward to Halloween on the ship. I love how Carnival decorates their ships for the holidays.
Have fun!
Great job on covering all aspects of the Venezia thank you!!!😊
I loved your video! I'm going next month sailing from NYC and I'm so excited! thanks for the tour of the ship 😊
Glad you loved it! Thanks for watching the channel.

Sailing on the Venezia for 15 days very soon. Thanks for the tour.
That was a great review, I'm not so big on all these smoking area's but I know it keeps people gambling and so on
I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Thank you.

Can't wait to see this ship, sailing July 24th.
Have a blast !
Will be sailing on her next year. I like the Venice look. I’m familiar with Vista class.
You’ll feel right at home and then scratch your head at some parts! Thanks for watching.
Very cool!
I'm sailing out of New York in Dec.!!
Going on the Venezia in April 2025. We are excited and your video definitely gave us the insight on what we want and need on a ship. Thank you so much, loved it!

Great video tour Doug! Thanks!! I am all for trying a new ship as long as she doesn’t have lots of negative reviews.
It’s not your typical Carnival experience. Very Italian feel.
Been waiting for this, we're booked on her in March, looks beautiful! Can't wait! Whenever I have to show someone a ship, always come to your page, great tours!
Lisa we are booked for March 3.
We so like this ship and we are long time Carnival cruisers. Looking forward for the Firenza to start sailing from the west coast
I like the looks of the Venezia. I want to try it.
I’m sailing on the Venezia in May 2024 and you’re video will be watched by my friends
Thanks, Eddy
My first cruise was the Vista Oct 2023 and it was great, this looks like a cool version of Vista.
From someone who has cruised many times over the past 20 years, primarily with Carnival this ship does offer some variations to the usual ships and I would be interested trying out the Venezia!

Good morning Doug… Thanks for the inside tour of the Venezia… We have the Venezia booked for 2025...
Great video and you explain and showed everything really well ty
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate your support.
Thanks! I’d love to cruise on the ship. We have kind of gotten bored with the same “Carnival look” and this ship looks so different. It’s on my list. Thanks for the tour!
Our pleasure!
I love this! I'm looking forward to being on this one eventually
Are you going to sail from nyc or port canaveral?
@@CruiseRadio port Canaveral
Just booked an Elite for December 2024 on this beautiful ship. Can't wait!
Hey Tony @LaLidoLoca can you let doug Parker know that I loved this ship tour😂😂we will be sailing on her next March. Hope to see you guys there
Yes it's a beautiful ship I would like to book a cruise on it
Will be on the ship on Monday from NYC. Thank you for this. Great help
Nice video. We're actually sailing on the Firenze. But this is a good example of what we will see there I'm sure. Lots of design similarities to the Vista and panorama.
The pool is so peaceful and fun and so big love how much space there is and it is like a castle on the sea ❤
We took the Venezia first TA..the pool is not big!
Yeah both pool’s combined would equal 1 pool on other ships.
booked this for the Mexican Riviera 7-day cruise next year, can't wait!
This ship looks darling
I'm more of an emma cruises guy but you're attention to detail is phenomenal.
Another great tour. Thank you!
I LOVE all your ship tour vids..u do an amazing job..thx
Awesome Video! We will definitely try this ship.
Awesome tour Doug! 😊
Thanks 👍

Can't wait for my Venezia cruise at the end of October!
Going on the 16 day cruise in September-October. Thanks Doug
I would take a cruise on it, but I like cruising. I love ships that are different from others, make the cruising experience more exciting!
Very lovely! It’s different yes, but that’s good. I’d love to sail her.
Like the decor
Great tour. I hope you do more of different ships. Well described. Thanks
I was trying to get on this ship before it moves to Orlando. It's not looking good due to my having to work. It's definitely on my list. I like different.
Gorgeous!

Taking this ship in April thank you for this
