Carnival Firenze

The ship

Italian cues, Fun Ship dining

Carnival Firenze is a Venice / Vista-class ship from 2020 that joined Carnival in 2024 after a Costa past: about 4,130 guests, Italian design cues in the public rooms, and Fun Ship dining brands on Vista-class bones. She sits beside sister Venezia in Carnival’s Italian-inspired pair. She is Fun Ship living with piazza energy — not a small traditional ship.

Main Dining Rooms and Lido casual venues cover included hours. Specialty dining is the paid layer: among them Fahrenheit 555 and Italian specialty rooms, with Guy’s venues on the casual circuit. Drink packages and covers sit outside the cruise — price those before you book.

Evenings run through the main theatre and piazza atrium bars, then the casino. Daytime is the pools, spa and Camp Ocean for children. Programme titles change by season.

On board

Fun Ship dining, theatre, piazza

1. 01

   Fun Ship dining

   Main Dining Rooms and Lido casual venues cover included hours. Specialty nights worth booking early include Fahrenheit 555 and Italian specialty rooms. Guy’s venues fill between pool hours. Book sea-day specialty tables early.

2. 02

   Main theatre

   The main theatre runs production shows and guest acts — Fun Ship spectacle, not a West End transfer. Programme titles change by season, so check your sailing. Arrive early for a good seat on headline nights.

3. 03

   Piazza and after dark

   Piazza and atrium bars carry the evening wander with a touch of Italian public-room style. The casino covers optional later spend. Drink packages sit outside the cruise — decide what you will actually drink before you buy a package.

4. 04

   Pools and spa

   Pool decks own the daytime with sunbeds and outdoor casual dining. Spa treatments are typically extras — book ahead on sea days if wellness is your plan. Grab loungers early on warm sea days; the same rails fill quickly once the sun is out.

5. 05

   Camp Ocean

   Camp Ocean runs age-banded programmes that shift by sea day and port day. School-holiday weeks feel busier — sign in early. Families who will use the clubs and the pools get the most from her.

Fit

Who she is for

• Families and couples who want Carnival Fun Ship dining with Italian design cues and piazza evenings on Vista-class bones.
• Guests happy to budget drinks and one Fahrenheit 555 or Italian specialty night rather than expect every restaurant to be included.
• Not the ship if you want Excel coasters, quiet British traditional dining, or adults-only calm. Choose Excel-class or a UK line instead.

Where

Where Firenze tends to go

Carnival has programmed Firenze on North American seasons after her transfer, often alongside Venezia. Bases and routes shift year to year.

Treat this as the ship’s range, not a fixed timetable. When this guide is public, sailings with two or more UK agent prices will sit at the bottom.

Before you book

What the brochure skips

• Specialty dining, drink packages, spa treatments and many shore tours sit outside the cruise. Price the holiday as the cruise plus what you will actually buy.
• Compare UK agents on the same sailing — same ship, same date, cruise-only, two guests. The hero price should be the lowest bookable one, not the first logo you recognise.
