Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #128 Share Posted September 21 After the Diamond Lunch, I made my way up to the Smoke Free Casino to play some blackjack. Patti was going to take this time and get some pictures of some of the venues. She’s going to start with the Marco Polo Restaurant, which I neglected to mention is on Deck 3 forward….. Patti heads up to Deck 5 mid ship and the Frizzante Bar….. To be continued….. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #129 Share Posted September 21 Right next door to the Frizzante Bar is Il Viaggio. We’ll be eating there later this week. Patti goes in to check it out….. Patti heads aft on Deck 5. Here she finds the Dreams Studio and Pixels Gallery….. To be continued……. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #130 Share Posted September 21 Patti steps out onto the Lanai to check out the La Strada Grill. This is only open on embarkation day and sea days….. Patti steps back inside into the Gondola Lounge. This would be the Ocean Plaza on the Vista Class ships….. To be continued…… 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #131 Share Posted September 21 Patti heads all the way aft on Deck 5 to the Carnevale Bar & Lounge, which is equivalent to the Havana Bar on the Vista Class ships….. Patti heads forward on Deck 5 until she reaches the Amari Bar….. To be continued…… 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #132 Share Posted September 21 Right next door to the Amari Bar is the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse…… Patti pokes her head into Bonsai Teppanyaki. We will be eating there next week….. Here are some of the shops located on Deck 5 forward….. To be continued….. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #133 Share Posted September 21 Patti looks down on the Atrium Bar from up on Deck 5….. Patti heads back to the cabin to find todays towel animal, and that our ice bucket has been filled….. I return to the cabin a short time after. I had lost $100 playing blackjack in the casino. No problem, we’re just getting started. It’s a beautiful day to hang out on the balcony and enjoy the sun and the sea….. We hung out until it was time to get dressed and head to the Captains Venetian Toast in the Piazza San Marco. This is always so spectacular, so don’t miss it if you are sailing on the Venezia or Firenze. The Sunny Violins are playing classical music leading up to the toast….

Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #134 Share Posted September 21 Cruise Director MarQ is the master of ceremonies……. The sounding of the horns begins the event…… The Playlist Cast files in and does a stirring version of “Nessun Dorma”. Brings a tear to my eye every time…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted September 21 Author #135 Share Posted September 21 MarQ introduces all of the Senior Staff and then Captain Pennisi….. The Captain says a few words and then offers up a toast….. Spectacular! Don’t miss it. Afterwards, though we weren’t really that hungry, we went up to the Lido Marketplace and made ourselves some salad. Patti was going to browse the shops then head back to the cabin to watch a movie. I made my way down to the Limelight Lounge to catch Tommy Savitt’s 18+ show. Once again I have my favorite seat and a drink….. Comedy Host Lisa Marie gets the ball rolling….. Tommy Savitt hits the stage…… This was one of his best shows. I gave him a 9+. I have to pee my pants to give out a 10. Very close! After a drink at the Atrium Bar with Pat, I made my way back to the cabin for the night. Coming up next: We arrive in Bermuda!!! 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s how we met Cruise Critic member Erin (TravelE), aboard the Venezia. We all got a laugh over that. I tried to handle the situation as diplomatically as possible. I am still floored that Lee did not know that you are a famous cruise reviewer. I hope he gets a chance to read this one at least!!! 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Karen Posted September 22 #142 Share Posted September 22 Only highlight since debarking the ship yestetday was realizing you had probably started your review! I “jumped ship” and cruised on Enchsnted Princess 9/14-9/21. Imagine my surprise when I was sipping my drink after sailaway to see Venezia cruising right next to us! I imagined her saying: you got on the wrong ship! Very much enjoyed Enchanted and sailing out of Brooklyn as a change. And of course drive right past Freedom Tower on the way home. 💝 DS was my chauffeur with 2 of my grands and they were in awe. 🙏 Looking forward to Venezia next May. Enjoy your Sunday.

Rare Jamman54 Posted September 23 Author #149 Share Posted September 23 The Venezia will be docking at the Kings Wharf. Captain Pennisi spins the ship around so that the port side of the ship will be the docking side. That means that our starboard side balcony will be looking out into The Great Sound. Here is the view from the forward ship cam after we were finished docking….. We left the ship a little after 10am. Our plan for today is to just hang around the Dockyard. My right hip is bothering me today, but I’ll just push through it. Here I am by the Kings Wharf sign….. Here are a couple of views of the Venezia docked at the Kings Wharf….. Here is the Taxi and Ferry information….. This is the Longtail Floating Fun Park….. This is Calico Jack’s Floating Bar….. I pose under the Moongate…..
