Hey there, fabulous readers! Zakia here, and I’ve got the inside scoop on an exclusive invite-only ship tour of Carnival’s newest sensation, the Carnival Venezia. Buckle up, because I’m about to take you on a journey through Italian-themed luxury and unforgettable experiences.
I strolled into Terminal 88, my VIP pass in hand, ready to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You know, the kind that makes your Instagram followers green with envy? That’s exactly what Carnival Venezia is all about.
First things first, checking in VIP-style was a breeze. The crew treated me like royalty, and I felt like a true A-lister. As I boarded the ship, I was immediately greeted by the intoxicating aroma of authentic Italian cuisine wafting from the onboard restaurants. My foodie heart was doing a happy dance.
The ship’s common spaces were a sight to behold, but what really blew me away were the Terrazza suites. Picture this: your balcony opens up directly onto the deck. It’s the perfect place to sip morning espresso as you watch the sun rise over the ocean. Plus, if you snag one of these suites, you get exclusive access to the Terrazza Carnevale area. Trust me; it’s a must-do!
Now, let’s talk food. Carnival Venezia knows how to treat your taste buds. I sampled the now-famous Guy’s Burger – a juicy masterpiece with mozzarella cheese, zesty tomato sauce, and chopped pepperoni. Even though I’m not usually a Guy’s Burger Joint fan, this one had me saying “bellissimo!”
Feeling like an Italian royalty, I ventured to the Serenity area, a peaceful oasis for adults only. It’s chic, with cabanas and lounges that make you feel like you’re at a high-end spa. Relaxation at its finest, I tell you.
Now, let’s break it down. Pros: The ship boasts several specialty Italian-themed dishes and restaurants that are a food lover’s dream come true. But, of course, it’s not all amore. Cons: The only downside is there are only two pools, and they’re on the smaller side. Plus, if you’ve got kids over 12 in tow, there might not be as much to keep them entertained.
But hey, overall, the Venezia is a top-notch experience, especially for the right crowd. If you’re used to Carnival’s traditional ships, be prepared for a delightful departure from the norm. The Italian theme gives it a distinctly adult-ish vibe, making it perfect for someone like me who values luxury and independence.
Oh, and here’s the cherry on top: I’ll be hosting an End of Summer cruise on the Venezia from NYC to Bermuda next summer. If you’re ready to join me on this incredible voyage, click the link to be the first to know when RSVPs open.
So, there you have it, my darlings – a sneak peek into the world of Carnival Venezia. It’s all about living the high life, enjoying the finer things, and making memories that’ll last a lifetime. Stay tuned for more adventures, because this is just the beginning of our luxurious journey together. 🚢✨
