I am cruising out of there next May’ Will it be a problem if I don’t speak Spanish?

Nice video thanks

You forgot the sea day included Asian Foods at the Seafood Shack. I don’t believe they list it on the app. We sailed 5/17-5/27/24.

Most cultures wipe their bottom with their left hand and use their right hand for eating😮 the last buffet I went to they put out a fresh Tray of Mexican food, and a man stepped in front of me and scooped the whole tray onto his plate, left me there with nothing, and thought nothing of it😂

😊

Gotta make it to St. Catherine's Beach. Past the unfinished church in St George 😍😍 perfection

Yum

Can you use on board credit for the ice bar?

Sounds like a good choice. I’ll try it when I’m on the ship. You always have informative videos!

Going on Venezia July 24th for an 8 day. Been on 19 cruises, all Caribbean. Departure ports for me have been Miami, Fort Lauderale, NY and Bayonne NJ, all on various cruise lines. I have sailed on Carnival many times before and had all good cruises, some of them surprisingly good. I am from NJ and the trend I have noticed is that all of my sailings from NY or NJ seems to attract that crowd. All of my sailings from the NY and NJ ports have had more passenger behavior issues than others. Just what I have noticed on my cruises.

Unfortunately, a lot of people feel more comfortable around that behavior, not less. Some people are really intimidated by the "fanciness" of cruising. I really think they look at Carnival as a bunch of maniacs getting drunk and they actually see that as a positive. Not sure how Carnival can deal with countermarketing that

Love your quaint, informative channel! Thanks for all of your commentary!❤

So sorry I wasn't able to make it this week. 😢

We also plan on doing this a la carte for the same reasons you did!

We were Gold but never received any coupons. Do you have to seek them out?

Also Carnival ships are supposed to get 5G. That’s a game changer.

You can use FaceTime to call talk if your parents have an iPhone.

Great interview. But I believe the muster process stopped the deck by deck process. Just a check in, view video, and make the call....changed in the last few weeks. Just fyi.

Finding this video was a blessing!! Thank you!! I was about to book this sailing for 8/27. I just wanted a quick solo getaway for a few days. The port is only a 2 hour drive from my house. The behavior you described had me clutching my invisible pearsl!!! I was in the supermarket and I was trying to keep my jaw off of the floor.😮😮 This is a NO for me. I was just on a 4 night sailing on The MSC Seashore out of port Canaveral and it was NOTHING like this. I've been on 12 cruises and thank God this was never my experience. My last Carnival cruise was the inaugural sailing of the Celebration out of Miami and it was amazing!! I have a 4 nighter booked on the Utopia in March for my birthday and a 5 nighter out of NY on Virgins Mermaiden sailing on the Brilliant Lady I pray they are nothing like this. I've done 2, 7 night sailings out of Jersey on Anthem and Oasis and they were fantastic!! The Brilliant Lady will be my 1st time cruising from NY and going to Bermuda. Virgin has a higher price point. So hopefully that will keep the riff raff away!!

Was it weird watching the lady show y'all the cruise dining menu in reverse? Haha I don't handle watching people throw up well. I probably would've followed her lead involuntarily. Haha

Ahhh I love Bermuda! We were there in May for 3 days. I just love being able to stay overnight. Frog and Onion Pub is good, but try to check out The Pickled Onion in Hamilton if you can, great food and amazing views!

5 yrs old?

Hi down at the bottom

Thank you for the review. How many cruises have you been on Total?

Do you need to make reservations for the show on MSC or do you just have to get there a little early to get a seat?

One of my guilty pleasures is towel animals, they make me smile and gush like a kid again, so seeing the deck chairs loaded with them would make me a giggling fool. 😅 That was a ton of green bean thingies. The guy all in red on white night must be used to Virgin Voyages. Meg had her hair done differently?

Where do they put mobility scooters when people go on excursion

So beautiful, just returned yesterday 😢 Loved Clearwater Beach and Coopers Reserve stunning ❤and Horseshoe

I reaally enjoyed hearing another person's experience of the Yacht Club. We're booked on this exact ship/itenerary for November and I can't wait!

By Day 3 is the second hand high kicking in? LOLOL Great video as always gang!

I am on 4 day on the 4th and I have sailed the Venezia twice this year, a 9 day and 10 day. The first sailing was excellent-the 2nd sailing was good but not as good as the 1st. I would agree from my last sailing about the crew…..they seem defeated for sure. I found that they seem to perk up once I was just nice and polite, which leads me to think it’s the passengers that are wearing them down. That said, I also sailed VV this year, a 5 day and my first time on that line….It was awful. Fights, idiots everywhere high on the devil’s lettuce, grown adults playing knock knock ditch em at 1 AM, lazy staff (the staff standing around on phones made me chuckle because that was rampant on my VV cruise). It was everything everyone complains about Carnival. So, that said….shorter cruises, no matter the line, can be problematic. I am hoping my Bermuda cruise goes better than yours. I think if you did a longer cruise on Venezia you would like it, I hope you give her another chance.

Went on the cruise right after you returned on 6/10, and I 1000% agree about the service aspect of the crew, it was the worst we have seen in the 7 cruises that we went on. I also agree about Mark Q, totally disconnected and made you could feel the lack of energy on the boat. We also had issues with the boat being super hot.

I am diamond on Carnival with 2260 days. The benefits are terrible. For six years Carnival claims they will improve or change their loyalty program. Still only changes have been removal and reducing of a few benefits. Gifts have become so cheap many are not worth taking home. I cruise with Carnival because of their employees and senior officers. Now that the ships are larger, the cabins smaller and the employees are working harder I feel the only option I have is to reduce cruising.

We got on the ship the day you got off. It was our first cruise. We had a good time overall because the ports were amazing but definitely thought the ship has some issues. Luckily we were with other people who have cruised many times and said a lot of things about the cruise were not normal. The food was not good at all and the MDR was SO slow. Took us one hour one night just to get a cup of soup and then another 30 after that for our main. Will be trying Royal Caribbean next time or a larger Carnival cruise ship out of Florida but we wanted to try sailing out of New York because we are from PA and travel would be easy to NYC by train.

We did Aurea on seascape Easter this year, now we've just booked YC on her for Easter '26 from galveston, long time to go but super excited!

Thank you so much for this. Going on my first cruise for our honeymoon and feeling a lot of anxiety. All these tips and reviews really help me feel so much better

Oh my goodness. I'm hoping we will have a completely different experience next March on a 7 day sailing from Port Canaveral. 😢

When my husband and I ate Cucina Del Capitano second formal night on Mardi Gras, we had 4 lobster tails! Hoping thats the same when we sail Jubilee this December 🙏 Thanks for your video!! New sub here!

We are doing the 8 day and the 4 day leaving this Wednesday. Hope we have a better experience. Fingers crossed!

Great cruise news. I’d love to see you go out of Tampa. I was up in Philly today for a graduation party, lots of fun but it’s too hot 🥵 Oh no, I’m interested to hear your group cruise news. I’ll tune in on Wednesday and find out.

Your experience is very believable considering you were on a short sailing from NY. I am blessed to cruise about once a month as well (mostly NCL) and live in NYC. All of my 5 day trips from NY have noticeably more fights, rambunctious guests, etc. versus longer sailings. I tried Venezia for the first time this past January, on a 9-day sailing to Bahamas, and while the guests are definitely more rowdy than other lines, in my experience, it was an awesome trip! No real crazy stories except a drunk women who passed out in the aft pool around 1pm one day, and a guy who hit a security guard upon returning to the ship from a boozy beach excursion... again at like 2 pm. Other than that, it was a really fun cruise and most guests and crew were friendly and harmless. I booked an 11-day in November and I'm excited to get back onboard. I know the length of sailing will directly impact the onboard experience. There are some things I don't enjoy about Carnival, like drink package not working on first day, cramped theatre, smoky/cramped casino layout (and no bar in the casino), etc., but it's not the end of the world.
