Next tables show the revised (slightly changed) repositioning cruise itinerary segments as destinations and port times. Homeport operations from Shanghai were scheduled to start on May 18, 2019. Costa Venezia's maiden voyage was scheduled for March 3 (2019) - a 5-day Adriatic Sea itinerary leaving out of Trieste Italy. Curiously, unlike the other CCL fleetmates, Carnival Venezia has a hull on which the traditional red stripe is in yellow, paying homage to the ship's Costa heritage, and also to match the yellow-painted funnel. Costa Venezia's christening ceremony was on March 1st (2019), held in Port Trieste, as previously announced by Carnival Corporation on December 9, 2018.

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. One or two nights a cruise, there will be a more formal "cruise elegant" night where men are expected to turn out in dress slacks and a dress shirt, preferably with a sports coat or even in a suit. The suggested attire for women on such nights is cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses. During the day, there is no specific dress code, and people dress casually. If it's a sea day in a warm-weather destination, and you're bound for the top deck, that means looking like you're going to the beach.

The "Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea" is a themed activity via an exclusive partnership with the toy company. Like at its stores on land, the Carnival's cruise ship workshop allows children to create and dress their own toy bears using a variety of materials, outfits and accessories, including toy shoes/sneakers, all kinds of suits, hats, sunglasses. Each bear also has its own voice (kids record the voices themselves). Heroes Tribute is a bar lounge (age limit 21+ yo) via a partnership with Operation Homefront (a USA-based nonprofit organization that provides services and supports military families and veterans). Each souvenir glass purchase at Heroes Tribute Lounge donates US$ 1 to Operation Homefront. The venue offers comfortable seating (leather armchairs with low tables) and large TVs (for live sporting events).
Seafood Shack (open for lunch and dinner /both with waiter service) is a casual restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating located near the Lido buffet (poolside). Seafood Shack's menu is a la carte priced (between $4-16 per item) and offers lobster (BLTs, rolls, steamed, fried), shrimp (salad, rolls, fried), crab cakes, clams, oysters. The Seafood Shack restaurant is unique for offering fresh fish purchased from local markets along the cruise itineraries. Two-three times per sailing, one of the ship's chefs goes to the port's local fish market and purchases fresh fish and seafood. At Seafood Shack you can check out the cruise itinerary's current selection.

Unlike is often the case, the ship’s christener was not a celebrity, but rather a frequent Costa cruiser. After a short preview cruise in the Mediterranean, the ship headed to Shanghai. Nathan Diller is a consumer travel reporter for USA TODAY based in Nashville.
Costa Venezia was specially designed to showcase Italian food, lifestyle, and culture, which is why the ship's atrium is modeled on the St Mark's Square in Venice and there are a couple of real gondolas onboard. The Gondola Lounge is where travelers can have a virtual reality trip through the port city in a gondola and the Grand Canal Restaurant features a "canal-side" walk to admire the Bridge of Sighs - Ponte dei Sospiri. The restaurant replicates the architecture of Venetian alleys and guests are served by waiters specially dressed as 17th-century Venetians. Costa Venezia voyages also offer a Venice Carnival party night with Italian entertainment and Venetian masks. Costa Venezia offers a total of 15 restaurants and 8 main bars/lounges. The food offerings consist of classic Italian dishes, fast food, traditional Asian and Chinese cuisine.
Ocean Suite (Obstructed View)
Much as was the case when Costa transferred Costa Luminosa to the Carnival brand (changing the ship to Carnival Luminosa) in 2022, Carnival Venezia brings a new experience to Carnival cruisers with its 2023 debut. This was a 14-day B2B/back-to-back itinerary leaving roundtrip from Istanbul/Galataport. Carnival Venezia's inaugural itinerary program was based on roundtrips out of NYC to destinations in Bermuda, the Caribbean/Bahamas and Canada and New England USA. SkyCourse is a suspended ropes course - another complimentary, outdoor high-adrenaline action attraction.
The curated list includes such unusual yumminess as the Bitter Guiseppe, a rift on a Manhattan made bittersweet with Cynar, vermouth, lemon and bitters. Or try the Negroni Sbagliato, a sparkling variation on the classic Italian cocktail made with Campari, Cinzano 1757 Vermouth di Torino and prosecco sparkling wine. You also can order Amari samplers with a choice of three of the liqueurs and bitters straight up. Perhaps the most unusual is the stylish Amari bar, a new concept for Carnival that serves up specialty cocktails crafted with Italian Amari liqueurs and bitters.
We found its Italian theming fun in a way that will fit right into the fun-focused Carnival fleet, and its new Italy-themed venues (Il Viaggio, Amari bar) are an upgrade for Carnival in our eyes. As of the publishing of this guide, fares for Carnival Venezia sailings were starting at $309 per person for the least expensive cabin on a four-night Caribbean sailing out of Port Canaveral. Seven-night Canada and New England sailings from New York start at $509 per person.

Overall, interior staterooms boast a European hotel-style motif, with lots of neutral colors, patterned wallpaper and understated accents that make for an elegant look (compared to Carnival’s typical bold bursts of color and family-friendly aesthetic). If you find that a traditional interior stateroom is a bit too claustrophobic for your taste, but you don’t want to spring for an ocean view stateroom, go with the interior with a picture window or porthole. You won’t get great views, but you will get a little extra natural light and airiness. Initially, for booking was opened (on March 2, 2018) only the Trieste-Yokohama voyage.
Originally debuted in 2019 as Costa Venezia, the ship was rebranded in 2023 and renamed Carnival Venezia. The ship features all-new restaurants, staterooms, attractions, activities and more. The most notable new-to-Carnival restaurant aboard this ship is Il Viaggio. There, the three-course, high-end menus focus on regional Italian cuisine. Items you can expect to see on the menu include antipasti options such as house-made burrata served with Genovese pesto and heirloom tomatoes; entrees like pappardelle al cinghiale from Tuscany; and tiramisu and Sicilian ricotta cannoli for dessert. Balcony staterooms are nearly identical to the ocean view staterooms, but with bigger windows and more natural light, as well as more floor space.
The other COSTA by CARNIVAL ship (Costa Firenze) was scheduled to start ex-USA operations in 2024 from Long Beach/LA California. In May 2023 CCL announced that in December 2024 Venezia will move from New York to Florida and homeport in Port Canaveral/Orlando City. 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.
