Carnival Venezia Balcony Cabin Tour

We are sharing our friends Carnival Venezia Balcony cabin tour. This cabin is on deck 10 forward. It's a beautiful room on board the brand new Carnival Venezia ship. This ship just came out of dry dock and was converted from a Costa ship to a Carnival ship. We will have lots more coming from this ship. Subscribe for more.

[@dwayneplummer12]

Lots of us were waiting for this

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

It is a beautiful ship!

[@dessmayy8962]

Definitely was waiting !

[@SincerelyYoursNadia]

Thx for the video! I’d love to see the cove cabins on this ship 🚢

[@christiejacox3499]

I’m so excited for you. I hope you have a wonderful time. Thank you much for sharing your experiences with us 😊

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thank you very much!

[@onthebit2bet234]

Thank you so much for your immediate videos about this ship - we sail on it in September to Canada and I’ve been waiting for it’s first sailing to see real life reviews- we have an inside room - so probably much different from a balcony- but the logistics are probably the same. Have an AMAZING trip!!!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks so much!

[@mikemurray4083]

Great video, I stumbled on to it now I am subscribing to it. I sail in March in a cove balcony thank for a great like of my fun ship in march

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Awesome, have a great cruise!

[@cindypoole6792]

Thank you for the tour. Looks really nice.

[@MsWorkingBee1]

Hi, I watched you in another video commenting on the Terrazza area of the Venezia ship. You and your hubby are so right! I cruised last fall 2023, and there was in fact access to that area. My friend and I were just walking around the ship, and we were able exit out on the Balcony on Deck 4 or 5 to enter the Carnavale Lounge. At the time we did not know that was the Terrazza until watching your video. It doesn't seem the rules are very strict on the ship as we noticed folks on the buffet line in dripping wet swim wear and none of the staff said anything to them. Anyway, thank you for being so detailed. So good to come across another post of yours. I think I will upgrade from my interior room to balcony.

[@mayplace1961]

My wife and I were on the same cruise! Same balcony room, however on Deck 6. Cant believe this much time has passed! Thanks for posting!

[@judyanderson9874]

Thank you!! Just beautiful.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

It really is, above our expectations!

[@TripReviews]

Well done room tour, thank you. Looks like the perfect stateroom. Carnivals standard rooms are a good size compared to “la-de -da” Princess ships. Thought we would give that one a try but it will be back to Carny for us if we hop onto another ship.

[@virginiapetti5847]

Thank you so much for the tour my sister and I are going on that ship but not until next year

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Awesome, we are loving it so far

[@angiebeltran2675]

I was in that cruise was amazing 🥰and we were also at the same deck 🥰

[@colleens7641]

Looks awesome. Really looking forward to this vlog series. Have a blast.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks!

[@robintaylor2688]

Thank you, great job showing the room and balcony.

[@esvaviewer757]

You do such an awesome job with your reviews.

[@shellyt7325]

I am curious about the casino and the games they have in there, Great video as always

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks, we are headed there now to check it out!

[@gracetrumpslaw]

We are going to do our first ever cruise this year- had always heard Carnival was "trashy" compared to the other cruise lines- but this look pretty nice.

[@chanteldawson7911]

Can't wait to be on this ship in August 😊

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Have a great cruise, we are really liking it

[@ivelissecarrion157]

We’re sailing Christmas great videos

[@terrimiller8760]

I'll be taking the ship to Mexico May 2nd can't wait

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Nice room tour. Room looks very nice

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thank you!

[@AuthorSShaw]

Thank Youuuu ✨️ We board in June from NYC would love to see the shops, casino, and jogging track. We have a balcony room probably similar to yours. The beds will be separated for my mom and I. Thanks for showing the balcony room I was curious about especially bathroom fixtures❤

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Awesome! We will be adding a video very soon with everything you mentioned!

[@AuthorSShaw]

@GroundedLifeCruises Fabulous thank you so much for sharing this content, I appreciate you both!

[@thejjjs7786]

We are taking that cruise also, my daughter and I. Trying to decide if we should upgrade to a balcony room. So excited though!

[@PsilentKnight19]

Great review. I’m a Carnival fan as well, but it’ll be a while before I get on their refitted Italian style ships! It reminds me so much of MSC!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

So far it's been awesome, one of the best we've been on this year.

[@scottsaltman]

I am currently on the Venezia heading across the pond to the US. If you are here, perhaps I will see you on board

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Yes, we are on board!

[@DanetteSWhite]

Very nice room. I don't care for the "all in one" shower/hair gel either.

[@nurdanilgaz1691]

Thanks for the video, I noticed that there wasn’t a plug in the bathroom, I have an electric toothbrush!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

I just checked and there is one. It's in an odd place though so it probably didn't show in the video. There is a US and European plug.

[@angeladurand6639]

I'm a subscriber to your Amtrak channel. Didn't know you guys did the ships. I've booked my first cruise on the Carnival Firenze in 2024 and will be doing it solo as I did my cross country train trip. Have you been on the Firenze, is it similar to the Venezia?..looking forward to finding out more .

[@tammyrlee]

Looks amazing! Been waiting for previews as I’ll be on Venezia in December. Is the outside door metal? Are the walls metal? I thought y’all were getting the terraza room?

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

The outside door is metal. We are in the terrazza, this was our friends room

[@joelkariekolb2019]

Thank you so much for sharing! We have scheduled a balcony too! I like to decorate our door and walls, though I see that I will not decorate so much inside the room this time for this ship. What are the doors like on the outside for decorating? Are they still magnetic enough for magnets? Thanks!

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Yes, the outside door is magnetic we just tried one.

[@TEE2323]

First 🤠 Great cabin review 👍🏾

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

Thanks!

[@SamYeh]

I was able to connect to the TV on the LG TV on the venezia.

[@GOVICGO]

Thank you! Are they giving out Inaugural Books on this sailing? I'll be on the July 12th sailing.

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

We haven't gotten one as of yet, but maybe later in the week.

[@carlettagilliard1264]

i wonder if that room bed can be converted into twin beds

[@EliteShadow32]

are you able to bring an xbox/Playstation to watch movies at night, will it be able to be plugged in with an hdmi & power supply is close to plug in & not be stretched to an outlet?

[@Luv2Pplwatch]

Are the wall magnetic and is there room for a pop up hamper?

[@KathyFry-ww3wy]

I don't usually subscribe, but I did with you. I love that you gave a complete tour of the entire room. We always stay in a balcony cabin and there is a big drawer underneath the sofa that pulls out. Did you see this in the cabin you toured? I love your calm and distinct voice. Very easy to listen to. Some videos I mute, but not yours. Thank you for sharing.

[@dougokane1783]

hi! I am new to your channel and have a question about the Venezia Balcony rooms.. which ones are your favorites and are there any that have obstructed views? thanks Kat O

[@ceoCZ]

Hi, what's that door next to the TV. I didn't get it. 😊

[@gordy678]

Can’t find your link for the plug adapters.

[@egyptDrives]

What happened to the Tereza cabana room upgrade?

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

This was our friends room, our room video will be up shortly

[@teresab955]

Nice room Are there any electrical plugs by the bed for a C-Pap?

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

No they are only over the desk

[@gracejeanne125]

Can we bring an extension cord? This is my issue as well

[@leona4travel]

@@gracejeanne125 I am a frequent cruiser and use a cpap. They will provide a extension cord for your cpap on the ship. I request it on every cruise and it's delivered to my cabin.

[@TheMelanatedFairy]

Are the cabin doors still magnetic or are they are real wood? Interested about my door decorations

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

They are magnetic

[@garrybeair5789]

no outlets beside bed for folks that use CPAP's?

[@PankajPatel-fq8zy]

Does they have iron?

How is the air conditioning there in the balcony rooms ?

are the doors to the cabin metal

What size is the bed? Is that a king? It looks small to share with my kid lol

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

It is 2 twin beds pushed together, so you can have them separated

@@GroundedLifeCruises Thank you for the help and the helpful videos! We booked last minute and it's also our first time cruising so I am very overwhelmed

[@j.t.downing3932]

I’m confused . Was this your room? I thought you had a terrazzo cabin?

[@GroundedLifeCruises]

This was our friends room, our terrazza caban video will post in a few hours

[@j.t.downing3932]

Ok that makes sense. Thanks. I have a balcony cabin on the Jan 23rd sailing, so nice to see what it looks like.!

Stay away from this ship unless you long for the smell of ashtrays and cigarettes. It has been many years since cigarette smoking has been an issue on any mainstream cruise line sailing ports out of or around the United States, but this Carnival ship has reversed that trend in spectacular fashion. Surprise turned to anger as we realized that even our own balcony was not a safe haven. For the most part, in recent decades , the smell of smoke was present in Casinos and small, selected outside areas with smoking on balconies strictly prohibited. On the Venezia, this is not the case. There is a large portion of the interior from Deck 3 to Deck 5 that is pretty much polluted to a point that anybody that does not care for the smell of ashtrays, cigarettes and stale smoke will find it objectionable at the very least and intolerable at worst. The source is the Casino that dominates the center of deck 4 from side to side with the usual heavy smoke conditions. OK, that is how it has been for years and anyone cruising on a regular basis is aware of this condition and deals with it. What is not acceptable is how much of the surrounding areas reek of tobacco, even when the casino is closed. From the deck below, in parts of the Marco Polo Restaurant , to deck 5 above, where the steakhouse, sushi and tapanayi restaurants are found, along with some of the shops and sadly, The Amari Bar, which had great cocktails but we soon wrote off, the smell is very much reminiscent of a 1980's New York City bar around 1 AM. I declined the pleasure of paying for a specialty restaurant filled with second hand smoke. At first I could not figure out how the smell could be so strong and thought that it was the deck 5 glass atrium structure directly over the casino that was the avenue for the smoke to travel, but eventually it became clear that along with the atrium the elevator banks were drawing the smoke from deck 4 and distributing it above and below. Even the staff agreed that the smell was strong and traveling via the elevators. Needless to say the forward elevator banks were really bad at times and we pretty much used the stairs. Perhaps because this ship was originally built for the Asian market, where smoking is much less restricted than on U.S. Itineraries, the actual structure of the ship has not been optimized to contain the smell. I have to guess something is quite different about the 'build' of this ship compared to Princess ships and their the Churchell's Smoking Lounges, where the smell fades within a few feet of the doors. I have been cruising for decades and nothing even close to this situation has been encountered in many years. But, how about stepping out for some fresh air you say ? Outside is pretty bad as well. On the outside 'promenade' that circles deck 5 a very large portion of the port side has been given over to smoking. This area is configured and outfitted like a spa area with chairs, tables, loungers and covered to create a tobacco oasis. I had forgotten that people will actually smoke cigarette after cigarette all day and night. The smoke from this area often made it all the way up to my 8th floor balcony. I would imagine the 6th and 7th decks were even worse. And cigars, enough said. On the other hand you could walk the 'jogging track' on deck 12 to get away from the smoke. That is, until you get to the aft area on the port side, which passes over another dedicated outside smoking lounge on deck 11. Same all day chain smokers. And cigars. Usually when you write a negative review or comment it is with the intention to tell others to avoid a product or service or perhaps to turn away enough customers to make a company address an issue. In this case I am sure my words will attract many customers as obviously lots of people love to sit around and inhale tobacco smoke for long periods of time as a way to relax. In addition, since I came home and contacted Carnival it is clear that they are aware of and just fine with the situation. I received the equivalent of the corporate bird from the non-existent Carnival customer service. My goal here is simply to warn off anybody that does not wish to spend their money on a ship that is obviously courting the tobacco crowd to the detriment of those that do not smoke.
