With the change to once a day service is it safe to assume they are not turning the couch back and forth during the day? Meaning that if you are cruising with enough people to need the couch bed that you essentially have just the couch bed the whole trip and no couch during the day?

Just found this thread in doing some research for my upcoming Venezia cruise. Have any of the recent Venezia cruisers got any input on this? From some of the videos of the casino online it looks like there are no shoes, and everything id dealt from the machine.

I notice you’re in a cove balcony; how’s are you liking it? Do you notice any noise from the restaurants/galley upstairs?

I had a similar offer and took it. I’ve never been in a cove and am looking forward to it! For me, it was about the proximity to the water and the shaded balcony. For those who have sailed in these before, and have been under the galley, was there much noticeable/disturbing noise?

An interesting topic as I imagine there are a range of views. I think it relates to what “kind” of cruiser you are. If you are a cruiser who loves to sunbathe and be by the pool, I can definitely see how that will be a problem for you. With that being said, I cruise from NY year round on one line or another, and so long as they position the right ship there (meaning it has to have a least one covered pool) I find it to be a great time, and very convenient/economical for those of us in New England. I am very excited that Carnival is taking this step along with MSC. I know NCL has been doing it, but they’re missing that key component of having the covered pool area on several of the ships they position out of NY. Anyway, just my $.02

Hi Cruise Critics, Does anyone have any pictures/info on the 1A rooms on Venezia/Firenze yet? I imagine that they are very similar to Vista/Horizon/Panorama and like the extra room they provide, but figured I would check and see if anyone has any experience with these rooms before I book. Thank you in advance!

If the main consideration is the ship at this point, and you are going with younger cruisers, I would definitely recommend the Prima out of NYC. Much more onboard than the Pearl, and the ship is just gorgeous in my opinion!

I just did this (on a single meta upgrade) and just got an updated confirmation in my e-mail a few days later. I did ultimately call and spoke to an agent, so I think you will always retain the ability to talk to an agent. Hopefully that helps!

Yes, leaving March 12th…spring break week for many colleges. I am actually fine with a GTY. I am maybe in the minority, but I enjoy the gamble of a GTY and have gotten some pretty good room assignments in my experience.

It doesn’t let you request a cabin. I got an e-mail confirmation a couple days later with a GTY cabin, but then checked and saw that was all that was available for booking online.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, you can redeem on BoA website. You have to put in your confirmation number, sail date, etc. I’m assuming it’s just a form that sends the response to a human somewhere to process, and with the holidays it will probably be delayed. If I don’t hear anything by the end of next week I’ll call the number you listed. Thanks again!

Hi All, I've tried to search this thread, but has anyone used the online tool to request the category upgrades? I filled out the form today (after randomly noticing a good chunk of my points are expiring in one day) and was wondering if anyone had experience with this method versus calling? Ideally, I'd like to know how long it was before you received confirmation of the upgrade. I have confirmation from BoA, but none from NCL. Thanks!
