The one area which we are not too sure about is the pool situation -- there are just two onboard, both of them not very big for a 4,090-passenger ship that carries a lot of kids during holiday time. The Italian Riviera-style lido will also serve the first of the ship’s updated dining. At Rococo, for instance, “Baroque Goes Pop” and frozen drinks will be available from a playful setting with art and drinks to match — everything from margaritas and daiquiris to limoncello and bellinis. And opposite the bar will be JavaBlue Cafe, which will have coffee and gelato this time around.

The venue offers comfortable seating (leather armchairs with low tables) and large TVs (for live sporting events). Il Viaggio Restaurant ("The Voyage" in Italian) is a new for CCL specialty dining venue introduced on Carnival Venezia. The reservations-only restaurant is open for dinner and offers traditional cuisine specialties (dishes and beverages) from various regions in Italy. Each item on Il Viaggio's menu represents a regional cuisine specialty, including appetizers, entrees, main dishes (oven-baked pizza, sauces, dressings, pan-fried veal chop) and desserts, as well as Italian wines and cocktails. The double-deck Lido Marketplace is like an Italian piazza, surrounded by cafes, bars and restaurants, including a new venue Tomodoro; Guy's Burger Joint and the buffet. It's enclosed with a sunroof (or "magrodome") which opens and shuts depending on the weather.

On my sailing, the fastest "premium" service on the ship, which allowed for video streaming, was priced at $30 per person for a 24-hour pass. A full-cruise pass for the 15-night voyage cost $330 per person — or $22 a day. Carnival Venezia's fitness center spans the entire front of deck 12 with epic views over the bow. The line made the space bigger during dry dock because Americans apparently like to exercise while on cruises more than Chinese travelers.

The new deployment starts with a 12-day East Coast USA relocation voyage/Carnival Journeys from NYC to Port Canaveral (December 6-18th, 2024). Every night there are shows in the theatre with a focus on Italian productions like Venezia Innamorata, which is based on the life of Venetian lover Giacomo Casanova. The Lounge delle Stelle is where guests can join Costa Venezia Film Festival, being entertained with songs from popular films and watching Venice Film Festival movies. Carnival Venezia ship's kids complex also has Party Reef (lounge area), Creative Cove (dedicated room for kids arts-crafts-workshops), Dr Seuss Bookville (kids library) and an Outdoor Playground.
Carnival Venezia Bars and Lounges
Carnival Venezia has a large casino leading off the middle floor of the main atrium and which takes up a large amount of real estate on Deck 4. On the deck above the Lido, you'll find Bocce, ping pong, mini-golf and a ropes course, part of which goes over the side of the ship. There is also an arcade called The Warehouse where you (or more likely your child) will spend a lot of time and money trying to win tokens. Make sure you either have the Carnival hub app downloaded, or grab a copy of Fun Times (left outside your room every night, or available at Guest Relations); or check your interactive TV for all the fun things going on. Teatro Rosso is the main theater on Carnival Venezia and is at the front of the ship on Decks 4 & 5.
There is a small pool and also a stage and a screen for late-night movies. There’s also a lot of the classic Carnival fun that repeat cruisers ( hey there!) know and love. Deliciously familiar flavors come from spots like Bonsai Teppanyaki™ and Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™, while celebration spots include Piano Bar 88 and Serenity Bar, and relaxation happens at Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. For the kids, there’s spaces just right for their age like Camp Ocean™, Circle “C”® and Club O2®. And outdoors, get ready for a very splashy WaterWorks™ and SportSquare™ featuring a ropes course, jogging track, mini golf and outdoor fitness center.

The ship is welcoming and appealing to a diverse range of passengers and there are regular LGBTQ+ meetings as well as solo gatherings. Another new dining concept, Il Tomodoro, introduces tacos with an Italian twist; and Guy's Burger Joint even has a burger with a pizza topping. There are also a number of fully accessible cabins across all stateroom categories.
Terrazza Carnevale is a special venue only accessible to Terrazza and suite guests, and it includes a terrace, two hot tubs, and a bar. Guests get specialty amenities and VIP perks, including complimentary continental breakfast, brunch on sea days, complimentary drinks and access to exclusive events. Bonsai Teppanyaki (within Bonsai Sushi Restaurant) is a food bar for authentic Far East dishes and a live cooking show performance (by the chefs) at custom-built cooking stations positioned at the center of an 8-seat dining table. Each meal at Bonsai Teppanyaki starts with a sampling of 5 appetizers (Miso Soup, Pork Belly Yakitori, Spicy Tuna on Rocks). Each meal ends with the specialty desserts "Chocolate Bento Box" and "Green Tea Ice Cream".
You might also like to invest in a Beverage Package, which allows for 15 drinks a day plus discounts on bottles of wine. Carnival's alcohol drink package costs $59.95 per person, per day, if you buy it before your cruise or $64.95 per person per day if you buy it onboard the ship. What's impressive is that the package covers most drinks onboard, including cocktails; the only exceptions being premium spirits.
Indulge in a plethora of invigorating and relaxing treatments at the Cloud 9 Spa™ and Fitness Center. Some of the services available include medi-spa, acupuncture, facial treatments, hot stone massages and seaweed detoxification wraps, to name a few. Head up to SportSquare and join a pick-up basketball game, play volleyball or some foosball.
Carnival Venezia will be New York based until January 2025, when it heads to Fort Lauderdale for the winter, so expect the vast majority of passengers will be from the Tri-State area, with a mixture of couples and families during holiday season. Another new category are family staterooms, which feature a separate room with half-sized tub for smaller kids. Deluxe Ocean View staterooms are a great choice for families who want to let the sun shine in as they sail.
Super casual items such as cutoff jeans, men's sleeveless shirts, T-shirts and gym shorts aren't permitted. Cigar and tobacco pipe smoking is only permitted at the outdoor smoking area on Deck 11 aft (starboard side). You can bring one bottle of wine or Champagne per person onto Carnival Venezia at boarding plus up to a dozen standard cans or cartons of nonalcoholic drinks such as sodas.
