We sailed on a Halloween Journeys Cruise & we loved it! We're fairly new to cruising, but we had almost no complaints at all. (Just a faint smoke smell in our cabin, we mentioned it & then it was gone) We thought the food was really good, the entertainment was great, crew was fabulous. I get the "not a typical Carnival" vibe, but keep in mind this ship was built for the Asian market. We found outside on Deck 5 to be the place to be for quiet for sure. If Andrea is still bartending at the Frizzante, definitely stop & get drinks, she's great!
Did you ever have the warm Krispy Kreme donuts. Soooo good! We don’t have them here anymore! What does elite mean? How do u get that? Never heard of Carnival elite! Did Josh give you a chance to eat Michelle? It all looks so good! What was that lunch spot? I heard the Statue of Liberty is even prettier lit up! I’ve never seen a sign on the tables like that either. So pretty at sail away! Congrats on the win Josh! Dinner looks great! Thank you both for sharing!
Hi Anne! Elite is a very high tier gambling… have to gamble lots to get an offer like that. They give you gifts and you get special status. Josh did give me a chance to eat. 😂 We had lunch at La Strada grill it was cold so they moved the food inside. The food was excellent. We were disappointed about sail away at first but it was awesome seeing the Statue of Liberty at night. Very cold but very beautiful!
@@AdventuresAhead well at least I don’t need to work on elite. Haven’t gambled yet on a cruise. Except slot pulls. I’ll just continue working on that platinum status! Thanks for the reply! So looking forward to the rest of your series!
Sorry another question- do you remember about how much it was to take the cab to pier 88? And did you take any pics of the hotel breakfast? I think I asked these questions once but I don’t remember where and what the answers were. Thank you again! (I’m making Rich watch your videos now and he’s asking the same questions )
I just looked. We didn’t take any pictures or video of the breakfast… sorry! I remember it was a weird process to get the breakfast. You had to go down to the lobby in a line and the. They would take you up the elevator to the breakfast area, stand in a line. And then get seated. They had a wide variety of food but it was very very busy. We opted to just pick up donuts first the 2nd day. Hope that helps!
Have really enjoyed your Venezia videos. thank you. I do have a couple quick question. You said the cab dropped you off at Pier 88 at 938am. How long did the drive take? Did the cab drop you off right by 88 or just across the street on 48th and 12th??? What did it cost? We are staying at the other RIU on 8th and 46th, a little closer than your Riu hotel. oh, one more question, was your embakation a Sunday or Monday? Anyway, thanks again.
Hello! Embarkation was on Sunday. We got dropped off across from pier 88…just had to walk across the street. They dropped us off in the line of taxis. The ride to the pier only took about 10 minutes. It was $15 with a tip (I think we tipped like $4-$5). Hope that helps! Monday we will have a whole video on pier 88.
@@AdventuresAhead We embark monday, LOL. We are platinum, too. So hopefully it goes smoothly. But if you have any inside info, let me know, thanks again especially for your quick response.
@charliev6466 we never tried it but they do have Chinese food at seafood shack on sea days. Deck 5 has lunch on embarkation and it’s less busy than the lido! We hope you have a great cruise!
Hi guys I just wanted to say that I agree with you that this ship doesn’t feel like a Carnival Ship. Me and my two sisters were on this ship in October 2023 and we didn’t like this ship at all. The food wasn’t good. Our room didn’t have any cold water and the hot water was very very HOT!! We said that we would never go on this ship again. Worst trip ever! !!
Love vlog style u all do better than reviews
I loved that you guys liked the food as much as I did! No one believes me 😂😂

I think a Lyft was only like $14 to the pier. I can’t remember if we took pictures but I’ll look. If I find any, I’ll private message you them ☺️

Those burgers look amazing
The room service burgers are no joke good. We order several times throughout the cruise. ☺️
Thanks for watching!

It was a water tower

Thanks for watching and commenting! Weird about the water. We had great food on our sailing. So sorry your sailing wasn’t what you expected.
