Venezia 1st cruise out of NYC to Bermuda June 15

[Haljo1935]

Hi - can anyone confirm definitively that needing a paper boarding pass as @shof515reported has been rectified? Will be B2B in Sept on Venezia out of NY and need to be prepared. Goodness knows I won't be looking to stand in yet another special line to print one out.

I'm also doing a B2B on Venezia in September (23rd & 29th).  I always print out all of my documents as a backup, just in case there are any issues with pulling them up on the phone.  It's better to have it and not need it then to find out I need it and not have it.

We will be 1 week ahead of you, boarding Sept 16.

I tried to talk my wife into adding that 7-day on to our 21-day (6+15), but she wouldn't go for it.

It does have 1 port difference than the 6 day, but even the ports that are repeated are gorgeous with plenty to do. I'm sure if she's happy in the Caribbean for 15 days, then you'll be happy, 😆 

Of course, if getting ice in the cabin becomes an issue, I may regret it.

When you check in at the terminal they stamp a check mark on your boarding pass to show you completed the terminal check in.  It's like impossible to stamp a cell phone so they need something physical like a print out

Thanks - we didn't need paper boarding passes on Carnival right after Covid (sailed from NOLA) and not at all on HAL, so I'm trying to be prepared.

And it was very good too; added some much-needed variety to the Marketplace buffet offerings.

The paper boarding pass is also used to make purchases until the cabins are ready and you can get your sail and sign cards.

Don’t bother going to the muster stations! On the first trip of this ship, over 500 people failed to go to the stations for the safety talks and we still set sail. This is a huge disappointment to me, safety should be first priority! Apparently safety doesn’t really matter to carnival cruise line.

Thanks - that is good info and so foreign to me. Guess too much time away from Carnival. Plus I know I didn't have paper boarding pass my last 3 cruises w/them. But I will on this one - I want on that ship!!

Hi can anyone who sailed on the Venezia advise if the cruise terminal parking was at pier 88 or 90?

 

[mar214]

Parking was at Pier 90 on the 6/19 sailing.

Today is Venezia first cruise out of New York and first cruise to Bermuda  

 

Embarkation at the terminal is somewhat disorganized.  At the terminal they check the boarding pass documents first when you walk into the terminal, then security and then boarding the ship. Make sure to have the boarding pass printed out on paper. A digital copy is not accepted.  There is a separate line to print out a copy if needed.  they can be a long slow moving line outside that terminal that can snake down to the other piers. 

I love going on a cruise from NYC to Bermuda!  The only difference is I would be boarding NCL.  Cheers 🍷😎

You will love the ship 🛳️ and Bermuda 🇧🇲 island.  Enjoyed on a 7 day cruise that NCL ship stays at port for almost 3 days…don’t have to be afraid of missing ship & rush back for a couple of days.
