Fresh from her transformation into the Carnival Cruise Line fold, the 135,196 gross ton, 4,216 guest CARNIVAL FIRENZE has just begun her maiden cruise season from Long Beach, California. This footage was taken on board on the day of the FIRENZE's naming (April 24, 2024) and covers almost all of the public spaces on her lower and upper decks, with a selection of staterooms thrown in for good measure. Built for Costa Cruises in 2020, the FIRENZE joins her twin, the CARNIVAL VENEZIA, as a hybrid in the 27-ship fleet of Carnival, keeping her Costa funnel and colors as well as her Italian-themed spaces and cuisine, albeit with a Carnival flair. Carnival has also added some of its staple spaces, but instead of reading about it, why not have a look at the video to see for yourself. Ooops -- I mention the "Lion Of Venice" when I should say "Lion of Florence" (or Marzocco) at 1:32. Licensed music from Artlist includes: "Luna Mezzo Mare" and "Tarantella Napoletana" by TEO, "Fantastico" by Zev Moran, "Cafe Mallorca" by Hanjo Gabler, "Escape to Sicily" by Louis Adrien and "Frescoes" by Peter Spacey. #carnivalcruise #costacruises #costabycarnival #costafirenze #carnivalfirenze

Boarding later this month! Thanks for the great tour but I would like to see an oceanview cabin as well.

Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great cruise. I would have loved to get an oceanview but these were the only cabins available during my visit. :)

Hi Peter, great video. I loved all the (important) details you captured! BTW - We met this weekend at a pot luck., remember?

Hey Christian! How nice to see you here! Thanks for watching and commenting, Hope to see you guys again soon. :)

Great video, as always. And as for Cherry on Top, yeah, you'd think they would've put that to rest by now.

@midshipcinema Ай бұрын

Thank you, Russ! LOL, that little barb about Cherry On Top seems to have registered with a lot of watchers. I just don't know how anyone could want to buy a bunch of candy on top of all the sugary things that are perpetually available for no charge. They must have a deal with Ozempic.

Great video Peter! ❤ Oz and I always enjoy your videos and your attention to detail. Although we love the over the top Farcus decor on the older Carnival ships, I think this one looks lovely (minus Cherry on Top). I would definitely sail on her. Caio for now!! Cheryl

Hi Peter. The ship looks lovely. And yes, the Joe Farcus Dining room is beautiful. But I was glad for the whole ship not to be totally "off the wall Farcus." A pleasant surprise for sure. I think she will do well on the West Coast. Long beach has a stories past with ships, yes? Two ends of the spectrum, The Queen Mary to Firenze !! Thanks for the tour.

Thank you, Jeremy! Yes, Long Beach has a cool past and, of course, its better now than ever, thanks to the growth inspired by the beautiful QM. :)

Loved the dining room, the chandeliers were just gorgeous. Very nice to see that Carnival kept some Italian look to the ship. I loved seeing the passenger accomodations and the lounges. Most of all, the real star was seeing the QUEEN MARY. I enjoyed your tour of the ship. 🤗💕🌹

My fav part of this video was the view of the Queen Mary! She is looking great!

She's the showstopper. :)

@marklease9717 Ай бұрын

Great video as usual, Peter..... best shot in your video in my opinion? The one of Her Majesty!

@midshipcinema Ай бұрын

So agree! It was nice to be able to enjoy that view, especially after the MARY has been getting her new paint on.

@EfficientRVer Ай бұрын

Well done, as always. Great 2.5-day turnaround on getting it edited and posted, too. I'd go on it, just a matter of catching the right deal and itinerary at the right time. But there are so many ships and unpredictable deals, it's hard to predict what ships I'll be on, or when, as a flexible, value-oriented cruiser.

@midshipcinema Ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes, it was a midnight oil burner but glad to have it out while she is still an object of curiosity. :)

@CovitaFam Ай бұрын

November has the best price, go check it out.

@aslavdogg Ай бұрын

Ill never forget the great time I had onboard her as Costa Firenze, the whole "Fun Italian Style" and Costa by Carnival feels like an "americanised" idea of italian cruising style, what i mean by this is that if they'd truly want italian style, they should've just sent her and Venezia under Costa, however it'sjust my view on it, by the way great video as always!

@midshipcinema Ай бұрын

Thank you. I think they feel they have to have some of the regular Carnival branded spaces to keep all happy but I agree.

So excited, were boarding 1st week of August.

She looks fairly nice. Any idea when the next Cunarders Behind the Iron Curtain episode is out?

@midshipcinema Ай бұрын

Thanks for asking. Sadly, the response to Part 2 was so lackluster, I put it on hold to get some new ships added. I have a couple short videos lined up but hope to have it finished by end of May. :)

I have to admit the blend of brands makes absolutely no sense to me - but the ship does look interesting inside.

@midshipcinema Ай бұрын

Well, I think it is a convenient merging of assets until there is more growth needed for ailing Costa. The ships are in an identical platform and Carnival does have quite a bit of Italian heritage in that the ships are built in Italy and most of the Carnival officers are Italian, dating back to the 70s when they hired all the ex-Italian Line captains.

@ChrisFrameOfficial Ай бұрын

That makes perfect sense. But to me painting the funnel in Carnival colours makes even more sense 😂
