Yay! Happy to hear there is a decent amount of shade on deck 10! I hate that there are so many spaces in direct sunlight. I am not one that will ever sit in direct sunlight up on deck.

Love seeing Mathew on here!

Since I’ve had skin cancer, I can’t lay out in the sun any longer. So, your comments about the shade on the back deck is something that I think would really appeal to me. Thank you for such a detailed review.

Matthew is so mature and well spoken. I loved hearing a young person's view. He takes after his dad, and sounds like him. Loved this video!

Love being in the aft of the ship and I was happy having the shade. Shade on some ships is hard to find. No longer can sit in the sun. Also, a nice place to play cards or games and have a bar close.

So nice to hear Matthew's thoughts around the kids club. My life will revolve around kids club for a few years and its so nice to get reviews about them :D

The ship was so good I thought Dear Future Husband was so cute! It's nice to get Matthews feedback on the club! This was a favorite ship for me! I like it better than the Panorama! Great video!

We can't wait to enjoy The AFT section of deck 10. There is not enough shade on most Carnival ships.

Excellent job Mathew and Jamie! 👌🏻👍🏻

I like the idea that every ship doesn’t have the same exact restaurants

Appreciate the fair review. Will be sailing her Jan 2025. Can't wait!!

You two have done a wonderful job on this series of videos!

Nice video thank you :)!! Glad it was fun ! 🚢🥰

The hole in the shower door is standard in all cabins

Great job Matthew!

Love the viewpoints from two generations. That was way cool! 😎

I agree about the bathroom. Definitely made for the Asian market.

Thanks for Sharing, going to cruise soon.

Thanks for the video great information. Like the idea of a DJ on the aft deck.

Hey Jaime and Matthew, great review on the Carnival Firenze! Wow, Mathew has really come into his own. I always take extra toothbrushes just incase something happens like you described. Also, I keep my toothbrush(s), in the plastic container they come in and away from the bathroom completely. The Cabin Steward comes in to clean and can easily knock over your toothbrush onto the bathroom floor and you would never know. Also, they spray the bathroom mirror and can easily spray your toothbrush. I keep as much as possible out of the way of the Cabin Steward's general cleaning area. Hope Sharon's Mom is doing much better. Keep up the great work!! 😎⛹️‍♀️🤸‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Great review as always and loved that you got your son involved. He did a great job! We'll be on the Firenze in December and looking forward to checking it out for ourselves. 😊

Gorgeous ship 🛳️!

Great video....thank you🚢

I am unusual in that I prefer a shady spot. That sounds amazing!

great video! I agree Joey is a great cruise director!

Going to be sailing on her in August. Thank you for the review guys

Great review guys. All the things you didn’t like are things I embrace! 😂 bc they seem like it fits my style better. One exception would be the placement of JavaBlue. To each their own! Can’t wait to sail Firenze in October 🎉

Thanks for the information for the youth. Going with a 14, 12, and 10 year old. It’s going to be a less fun location for them but a great one for me. I never liked how the kids spaces were soo isolated and away lol hahaha.

Well done boys

What a great summary! Well done summary of a few likes and dislikes on this ship, boys!

I have to disagree about the shade. I can’t be in the sun so I’m rarely outside on deck during the day. With the umbrellas and additional shade I could actually spend some time outside!

Yeah I don’t know about the lido layout. But the larger the Java Blue the better. The long lines at Carnival’s caffe places are kinda annoying. Make them huge! Lol gotta have my coffee in the morning ASAP. 😅

If you think the cabin bathroom on the Firenze was small, you should check out Jubilee! Tinier!

That’s where I was mainly at while spending my cruise on the Horizon.. The Aft pool deck.. Nice touch with having a DJ back there on the Firenze.. 😎🤘

For an Italian themed interior design, why are there a lot of Fleur-de-Lis emblems plastered all over the ship? #WhoDat

Well, you got a peek at Asian (mostly Chinese culture) since both Venezia and Firenze were specifically designed for the Asian market. FIRST - urban Chinese don't do outdoors and sun. Have you seen the air pollution in their cities. If I had to live there, I wouldn't go outside either. So while there isn't a ton of sunny spots on the ship around the pools, just go up one deck and there are plenty. SECOND - the Chinese LOVE to gamble so the ship has both a huge regular casino, as well as a smaller non-smoking casino. Really - the only thing I can't rationalize out is the sunken basketball/sports court. The Vista Class ships have the additional 2 restaurants on that deck (Ji Ji's and Cucina del Capitano) and the basketball court is above them. Also a little surprised you didn't try the Italian Restaurant, Il Viaggio. Every Carnival ship that I'm aware of has a steakhouse, but only 2 (Venezia and Firenze) have Il Viaggio. We are sailing Firenze in August and will be trying Il Viaggio on embarkation day. Found out we also have a shared experience. We were also on that ill fated Carnival Pride Baltic Sea cruise last year. We too were dining when the rumble occurred but probably only midway in the dining room and not all the way aft like you. It was challenging to get home, but we had Fly2Fun with Carnival so we knew we would be taken care of. The flight from Hamburg to London was probably the worst of it. I'm 6'3" tall and it was like flying on Spirit or Frontier with a minuscule seat pitch. But we loved the cruise, the port visits, and the way Carnival took care of us when the unfortunate happened. The crew was just fantastic.

Is there a Matthew at Sea in the future? He did a great job.

It wad the kids clubs was the same as Costa according to rhe original costa deck plans.

Ummm, note to self, pack a couple extra toothbrushes! 🤣

how did you do at the craps table?

I loved Dear Future Husband!

too much shade? :D Save your skin! :D
