Carnival Firenze is here and we’ve put together a full tour of the public spaces on board. This rapid tour brings you from Deck 15 all the way to Deck 1 highlighting the beauty Carnival’s newest ship has to offer – all in less than 20 minutes!

Getting to experience Carnival Firenze for the first time has been a true DREAM for Rocky and me. We’ve met so many subscribers and it’s been a true honor. I hope that today’s video brings you smiles and joy – and that you can sense even just a little bit of our excitement about the newest Fun, Italian Style ship based out of Long Beach, California.

We’ve been working hard to provide updates all week long. You can check out several more in-depth videos in our Carnival Firenze Playlist

hey YouTube it’s Mark and Rocky and we
are this Cruise life we are coming to
you live on board the carnival Fen for a
very special first look that’s right we
are going to take you all around the
entire ship we’ve got some awesome
spaces that we wanted to share with you
so stick
around well here we are in the beautiful
City of Florence Italy that’s right okay
maybe we’re actually in our state room
but this is still on the fen and we do
want to take you all across this
beautiful ship we are going to start up
on Deck 15 which has one of our favorite
spaces on the Carnival Fleet and it is
the serenity adults only area that’s
right you can see here there are some
gorgeous colors greens and yellows it’s
very rich and we love these little
alcoves where you have couches and you
can kind of lay out and enjoy your time
in fact that’s where we did our live
from the ship but what is unique for
Carnival Fen is they add in fresh
Creations we are so excited about this
space we love having a good salad on a c
day oh my gosh it’s the build your own
salad bar it was missing on sister
Carnival vansia and so we are so excited
to see her make a return onto the fan
that’s right and over here we have the
Spritz bar oh that’s right the serenity
Spritz bar such good drinks that they
have here I mean it’s the serenity bar
just with some with some champagne
little
bubbly okay let’s jump on down to deck
14 that sounds great deck 14 forward is
just room so we’re not going to show you
that but if we head on back that’s where
we have all the interactive items so
we’ve got the golf course we’ve got the
ropes course oh so much fun we are super
excited to get on to that ropes course
and maybe sneak a picture or two uh from
someone down below of course we’re we’re
not going to bring our phones on board
that ROP first sa first yes well that’s
uh deck 14 for you there is no deck 13
on Carnival fan so let’s jump on down to
deck 12 absolutely so at the forward of
the ship here we have the fitness center
it is a fairly nice and sizable fitness
center there’s enough equipment in there
for you to enjoy on your cruise and the
locker rooms still have that SAA that
looks out onto the ocean unlike her
sister vansia however it does not have
that weird um like bathtub that has the
Jets that blow in it and so um it is a
really nice space although uh Rocky
doesn’t seem to fit on this bench right
here I’m not sure why these benches are
so tall and high very strange but that
is part of the Cloud9 Spa area so if
you’re looking to get treatments you can
easily book your massage or a facial or
anything else that will help you relax
unlike the SAA the treatments are not
included that’s correct as we move
outside on Deck 12 you’re going to find
the Waterworks area this is the fun kids
and adults that want to be kids play
area there’s tons of spray ground and
water slides it’s it’s a load of fun as
we move aft on Deck 12 you also find the
warehouse which is the arcade on board
you also find some cornhole uh places to
play cornhole and or bean bags depending
on where where you’re from in the
country what you call it um and as you
move out from that you still have a
little bit more mini golf so you can
enjoy that and surrounding deck 12 is
the jogging track um it’s only four laps
to complete one mile which actually
really unusual usually cruise ships you
have to do like 10 laps to do a mile
that’s fantastic and that’s really the
extent of deck 12 so you got some good
views here a great place to watch sail
away if you’re looking for that so deck
11 forward we just have state rooms so
let’s head over into the midship Leo
pool area this is where we find the
carnival Seaside theater and you also
have that magome that slides shut in
case there’s inclement me weather which
we absolutely love yes vanessia
introduced the pergola bar however fan
introduces a brand new venue yes that is
il Marcato it’s super delicious they’ve
got meatballs and hot dogs and it’s also
your Carnival Deli yeah take a look at
this video we’ve already recorded our
first food review on board yes it’s
beautiful as we head out from there
we’ve got Camp ocean and Dr Seuss
bookville Camp ocean actually has some
outdoor spaces which is really cool but
those are actually private so you’re not
going to have to worry about your kids
running out and then being in the way of
other people on the ship and then of
course as you come out on the ship
that’s where you find the Sports Court
that basketball court and it looks like
there’s some pickle ball lines there as
well for you pickle ball fans out there
right and as you are on the starboard
side of the ship on Deck 11 that is one
of the dedicated smoking areas okay
great so let’s jump on down to deck 10
forward deck 10 forward just like our
other decks we’ve got rooms in the very
forward of it so we’re going to move out
into the midship Leo pool area with Rook
bar that’s my bar yes thank you very
much Rocko Rocky Roco that is on the
port side of the ship and they serve up
some amazing drinks including a variety
of slushies they have a ton of slushies
and then on the starboard side of that
is where uh vanetti had first introduced
it and F carried it through that is
where you find Java blue where you get
your caffeine fix your gelados your oh
remember we had those those milk shakes
the adult
milkshakes delicious now I will say
because of these venues it’s a little
bit smaller of AO than your typical
Carnival ship very similar to vanets if
you watched our vansia videos You’ll see
it’s the exact same layout um and so
it’s a bit smaller in there but that
magome can open and close as Rocky said
to keep the the weather out and keep it
nice and warm inside it’s beautiful now
as we head a little bit further after of
there we’re going to find the main pool
that’s part of this area and then on the
port side again we see tomador
mexitalian I love tomador mexitalian
those burritos it has one of my favorite
food by bites on board so stick around
cuz we’re going to do a full review of
that on the starboard side you’ve got
the guy Burger Joint which is the
rebranded version yeah it’s a little
Italian it’s got a lot of Blues and
whites in it fun and if you haven’t
tried them already make sure that you
stick around for that pepperoni pizza
burger and the super melty mood yummy um
we come inside from there and it is the
Leo Marketplace and it is your standard
Leo Marketplace it’s the the actually
the classic one instead of the pods it
has the Q style uh buffets and as we had
apt in the buffet there where the
carnival Deli was on Carnival venetsia
they actually changed that out to where
the wings station is so these four sale
Wings must be doing very well for
Carnival because now they have a
dedicated menu and space for it on board
the carnival F right now as we head
outside from that space we’re going to
find on the port side Pizzeria Del
Capitano beautiful Pizza pies that you
can order most hours of the day and
night it’s fantastic now like vansia I’m
a little disappointed that they didn’t
introduce a couple of new flavors it is
Italian style ship right a little
strange uh and then on the starboard
side that’s where we find Seafood Shack
yep but we recorded a little short
yesterday our first cruise tip on
Carnival fense uh not only Seafood Shack
but during the day it turns into Chicken
Shack for an included lunch option right
so you’ve got a great selection of
different chicken sandwiches and and
things to enjoy there and then we’ve got
the pool bar and several hot tubs as
well as a pool in the back with some
great Sund deck space and an amazing
place to take a picture of the wake of
the ship yes okay let’s jump on down to
deck number
N8 seven six what are we counting down
to All State rooms All State rooms these
are passenger decks let’s jump on down
to deck number five deck five awesome so
at the Ford of deck five we actually
have the upper level of the theater
Teatro Roso it’s a gorgeous theater you
can see these red tufted seats just very
rich colors love oh the chandeliers are
beautiful I love it leave the theater we
come to fun shops shops shops there are
all sorts of shopping on Deck five
that’s really what wraps around the
prominade and so uh if you are really
looking for your liquor or your eff
jewelry or your watches uh you can get
that all here on Deck five right we also
have Cloud9 Salon here in the atrium
kind of strange we saw this introduced
on vansia apparently it did well so they
kept it as we head after we run into
Carnival Classic Piano Bar 88 it has the
same
look and feel of all of the other
Carnival ships including that Elton John
poster that’s in there um and on port
side that’s where we have the expanded
Bonsai Tepanyaki it is massive you have
four tables that can be seated at uh
great venue really looking forward to
that experience and as we continue after
we’ve got on starboard Bonsai Sushi the
reimagined version where the carpeting
looks like water so you’re dining and
you’re enjoying sushi on the water very
cool so neat and then on the port side
we’ve got Fahrenheit 555 it is a
beautiful split side venue uh they also
have dining al fresco what is it it’s
the
steakhouse it’s a beautiful space we
love the colors in here it looks super
rich I mean we are just walking back
very quickly on this to give you a
preview of some of these spaces we come
to Amari bar which is where Alchemy
would be on on most of the Vista class
ships uh Amari bar was introduced in
vansia it is essentially it’s Alchemy
y’all um with some Bitters and negronis
added and so it’s a it’s a lovely space
this is the space that um Everyone likes
to flock to oh absolutely moving after
from there we’ve got Hip Fish and a
couple of other fun shops where you can
pick up some of your fun wees and
souvenirs and then immediately beyond
that is where you’re going to find the
frante area gosh they’ve expanded frante
based on how popular it was on vansia
and it really shows there it is the bar
is packed and that space has been packed
this entire time oh yes it is a great
space in that Lounge area is also nice
and that actually flanks the entrance to
ilio yes which is the upcharge Italian
restaurant you can watch that video here
I mean I’m telling you we love these
Venice class ships uh we’ve done a bunch
of bunch of time on them as we head
after that’s where you run into pixels
so the pixels uh photo gallery where you
can collect all of your keepsakes from
your Crews right and then adjoining the
pixels area is the Tuscan Lounge this is
a spot where you’re going to catch some
live music you also have some of your
fun trivas being host posted there and a
new dining venue a new upcharge dining
venue where you can buy empanadas yum
they look really good we might have to
splurge I know we don’t always love
paying for things that are typically
included on the cruise but these things
look amazing large varieties yes and
then you also have the Tuscan bar on the
starboard side of the ship so you can
still you know enjoy a wonderful
beverage while you’re watching the bands
perform now as we had a this is the
entrance to the T State rooms and the
Tazza Moda area I’m going to let this
one take it because he was blown he was
speechless I was Taza Moda is a
beautiful space on the ship Moda means
fashion in Italian and so you feel like
you’re walking down the runway you are
showing off what you are wearing they
have beautiful little vignettes as
you’re entering the space where you can
sit and enjoy a cocktail uh and then
there’s also the Moda bar which serves
up some very wonderful unique beverages
um that are absolutely delicious don’t
forget about the live band and there’s a
live band absolutely and then as you
head outside from here you have the
extension of the Taza Mota space
Outdoors there is also a bar as well as
tons of seating now this area is
exclusive to those that are booked in
terazza cabins however it opens up at
8:00 p.m. every day of your cruise so
you can go out there and enjoy some
outdoor Alfresco space so here we’re
going to be putting up I was going to
say here’s a tour of a tra State room
we’re going to be putting up Taza state
tour very soon um here’s a cruise tip
use those hot tubs that are exclusive to
the Taza area before 8pm so you don’t
have to deal with the rest of the ship
back there right and then rounding out
deck five we just have the lce base it
wraps most of the ship uh and you just
have some beautiful spaces where you can
really enjoy the views you can get close
to the water they do have some loungers
and some regular chairs and tables so
you can bring your food outside and
enjoy that oh and we don’t want to
forget on the starboard side of the ship
on the Lai exclusively how did you
almost forget this we have lrda Grill oh
I loved this venue on Carnival Vania and
I am super excited to introduce him to
that venue the other thing that I love
about deck five you mentioned the laai
is it wraps around the entire front of
the vessel know a lot of Carnival ships
they block off that forward access for
crew only not on Fen uh so you can
actually get all the way up to the very
front and yesterday they had chairs out
up there oh that’s wonderful it was
freezing but they had chairs up okay
let’s jump on down to deck four forward
that’s more theater that is more theater
the lower deck of the and as we exit the
theater we come to the fun shops and
dream studi so you can have your
professional photos taken while you’re
on your cruise absolutely flanking the
atrium you’ve got cherry on top you’ve
also got your carnival adventure shop
where you can buy your GoPro cameras and
things along those lines and then as we
continue to move after we enter the
ching ching ching FY
Casino it’s a large expansive place with
lots of slot machines and table games
which is beautiful now do be advised
that this is a smoking Casino so when
you walk into the space you will get hit
with that smell in fact just outside of
the carnival fan casino is one of the
fun shops that’s where they sell the uh
this jacket right here that you can buy
yourself when you’re on board um and we
already smelled Smoke on the very first
Cay on the inaugural voyage and so do
keep that in mind now they do have as
you go after of the casino they have a
nonsmoking casino dedicated for those
nonsmokers um however with how close
that is to the casino um I we’re going

voyage and we’re going to let you know
in our full review so if you haven’t
already click subscribe because we’re
also going to put out a full review of
the ship Absolut we’ll let you know
about that smoke that’s correct now as
we continue to move after on the
starboard side we’re going to find the
new addition to the ship that is the
heroes tribute bar and Lounge this is
actually showing up across the fleet for
Carnival and it is a great way to just
say thank you to all of the veterans and
and those that have served our country
and as you continue after you’ve got the
a space for the art gallery so Park West
we can confirm is on board look at all
of this art lining the walls we are
super excited um you also have the
Limelight Lounge this might be my
favorite Limelight Lounge it is gorgeous
in the entire Carnival Fleet they kept a
lot from the Costa fense and I am so so
grateful to Carnival for keeping this
blue oh I’ve got I’ve got goosebumps yes
it’s gorgeous as we move as from there
we have the conference center I I would
have a meeting here sure that sounds
great and then of course we also have
Michelangelo dining room this is the
upper level of this main dining room

room so this is it let’s take them let’s
take them home at the forward of deck

  1. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so excited about this ship! Will be sailing on June 18th in a Terraza aft balcony. We look forward to your videos and enjoy them very much. Many thanks and I hope your 17 days are fabulous!

  2. 2:31 Rocky, I thought that you were tall! Maybe you have a tall torso and short legs? No, that would be really uncomfortable, just like those new tall chairs that leave your feet dangling.

  3. We are going with family for the week of Thanksgiving this year. 15 of us! Is there space in the main dining room where we could sit near each other? Like two big tables?

  4. Did you guys happen to notice if the fitness center had foam rollers to use?? I'm sailing in a couple weeks trying to decide if I should bring my mini one for travel
    Thanks!

  5. Boarding on the 2nd! It’s a prelude to our summer trip to Italy… soooo excited! Hope to bump into both of you! 😊

  6. Thank you for all the info/ content!

    Sailing with our 2 year old so very helpful getting the lay of the land prior!

  7. Thank you for the tour! Will be sailing her in June. How do we find out about the theme nights on the ship? ex: 80's event, formal night, ect. Thanks!

  8. What a gorgeous ship! A pity I'm living in Europe and the ship was transferred from Costa to Carnival (well, it was supposed to be for the Chinese market anyway 🙂).
    Great review and showing the map is brilliant! It's much easier to have a feeling how the ship looks like in reality!

  9. The "secret" lounging areas at the front of the ship (decks 6,7,9,10,11,14) are maybe worth a mention – some of those are only accessible via stairs from other decks or unmarked doors, and were a great way to escape the crowds on the Venezia.

  10. Can you confirm if the Terrazza Cabanas have hammocks? I thought I saw a video with them but now I'm not seeing them in any of the more recent ones. 😢

  11. Great video, this ship looks really nice, love the Italian theme to it! Hopefully we can be on it one of these days…

  12. I was debating between doing this ship or doing the Harmony this week and am on the Harmony of the Seas now. Sadly, Carnival just can not compare to the amenities offering of Royal and I feel like I would get bored on the Firenze.

  13. I would love for you go do a video of what are the complementary food places you csn eat and which ones will cost money, i have seen so many people asking for this on other channels and no one has done it!! You guys will get so mny views if you do it! Yassss

  14. My wife and I will be on the cruise in August. How are the live shows in that beautiful theater??? We can’t wait for our cruise. Thank you for all the video's👍👍

  15. Great and thorough review , I like that you’re not jumping around. Since I spent many hours in the casino and missed a couple of the venues you have shared here. Maybe we see you in the next or last 5 days for you 2.

  16. Great seeing you guys at late nite snack area, I'm Ray the bearded big fella, we chatted a little, keep them videos coming, enjoy watching ✌😎

  17. Hi guys, thanks for the review. I felt like something was missing on this cruise ship. For example, the live shows fell short of what I come to expect from Carnival. I have been on older Carnival ships that have better live shows. One thing I did like was the "Deal or No Deal" game show. I actually won two prices!

  18. I think I need to try a Carnival Cruise, but it will only be on a Mark and Rocky group cruise!

  19. I like you guys introduce the ship from deck to deck and show some kid’s space. Other YTB just show their adult spaces and shows. my first thought this is not a kid friendly ship.
