How Late Can I Wait to Add a Guest Name
Cherries Jubilee replied to awhitleycrew's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I didn’t add names until I checked in and I didn’t check in until 4 days before the cruise so it must be up until check in now. -

I hope everyone is ok. -
My dad passed away before we cruise
Cherries Jubilee replied to dolphin5057's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
My condolences to you and your family. -
I’m not a fan of Italian food myself and I don’t even know what Italian entertainment people were expecting. I personally didn’t expect Carnival to roll out a bunch of new things for the Italian ships and I was happy that they didn’t. When I cruise Carnival I want the experience I’m accustomed to and already know that I enjoy.

I’ve sailed both and will sail both again. The issue here is Oasis has significantly more for kids to do. If your kids took part in the wet and dry slides, laser tag, ice skating, zip line, flow riders, large pools and the carousel they may very well be disappointed by a ship that has a few wet slides , ropes course, mini golf and small pools. I personally didn’t do some of the things offered on Oasis so Carnival not having them doesn’t bother me but I’m not a kid so it’s different. As for Venezia I was on her for 12 days and I didn’t notice a smoke smell anywhere other than the casino and I didn’t find the free food offerings any more Italian than they are on any other Carnival ship unless you count the 2 new burgers at Guys. I actually saw a lot of complaints that they marketed this ship as “Carnival fun Italian style” and then put very little effort into making it different from their other ships. It’s literally just decorated differently. Some voyages have an Italian festival one night but the cruise director has skipped that a few times too so your basically just getting a Carnival ship from 2019, neither old nor completely brand new. I don’t think any Carnival ship has enough additional activities to compete with Oasis class for kids if they actually did all that stuff.

10 day Venezia or 8 day Horizon?
Cherries Jubilee replied to MsSWhite's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
The length of the cruise is more important to me than the ports so I would go with Venezia. I you want the best ports it’s Horizon. -
Tips for future guests on Venezia
Cherries Jubilee replied to mleng's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
From the outside looking in it doesn’t look like Carnival had any trouble filling Venezia for the upcoming winter cruises but I understand if that’s not the case. They have to do what they have to do. -
Tips for future guests on Venezia
Cherries Jubilee replied to mleng's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I enjoyed Venezia despite a few of its flaws. I planned on writing a review but the holidays are taking all my time at the moment. I’ll be sailing her again in February and I hope it’s at least an equally enjoyable experience. I wouldn’t suggest this ship for anyone who loves spending most of their time on the lido deck because it is small and incredibly stuffy and hot when the roof is closed. I also don’t like the buffet setup. I think some of the passengers were more rude and irritated because of the lines unfortunately. I thought the ship was beautiful and the food was pretty good. I didn’t mind the cold days because we still had a full cruise worth of hot days. I personally wouldn’t take a 7 day from NY in the winter but I’ll gladly take these longer itineraries. It’s too bad Carnival decided not to do winter in NY again. -
Venezia returning to NYC in May 2025 to November 2025

I wish they had tried another winter. People did a lot of complaining but the ship still sold out. -
How do you take your Guyburger?
Cherries Jubilee replied to havanadaydreaming's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
On Venezia it was the Ringer but on ships that still have it I would go for a Piggy Patty with ketchup and pickles. -
My family really enjoyed it. We did it on both Oasis and Symphony. The biggest problem I have with it is that it’s always near the end of the cruise and I’m not very hungry at that point lol.

Thanks for the info! I’ll be back on Venezia in February. Here’s hoping the food is just as good! -

I’m so sorry for your loss. -
Private taxi was telling us $25 per person round trip today. I’m wondering if prices changed or they are cheating us?
