The Carnival Venezia shares its converted-from-Costa history with the Firenze, and the Italian character that carries through sets both ships apart from standard Carnival builds. La Piazza is the signature specialty restaurant, and the Piazza Bar at the center of the ship functions as the main social gathering point in a way that differs meaningfully from a standard atrium bar layout. Cucina del Capitano runs alongside Bonsai Sushi, Ji Ji Asian Kitchen, and Guy’s Burger Joint for the casual specialty dining set. The Serenity adults-only pool and Cloud 9 Spa are present, and the WaterWorks slides and SportSquare activity deck handle the family-oriented side. The Italian-influenced design gives the Venezia a visual personality that stands out in photos. The Piazza in particular tends to draw comment from first-time passengers expecting a standard Carnival interior, as does the courtyard-styled pool deck.
