The Carnival Firenze IS A Classy Cruise Ship - The Inaugural Naming Ceremony & Subsequent Review
#carnivalfirenze #carnivalcruises #inagural
Reviewing Carnival’s second Venice Class ship (ex. Costa Firenze) in the Carnival Italian Fun Ship lineup on her inaugural naming ceremony extravaganza where I received the VIP experience. This included the naming ceremony itself where Hollywood celebrity, Jonathan Bennett, who christened the ship; a special dinner, and a free exploration of the ship with free drinks included.

    Cameron’s movie is so special to me because of the way it looks, they nailed some indescribable subconscious thing that just makes you feel like you are there. It straight up looks real. The glow of the sun is literally real. While the 2012 miniseries looks like a BBC television production with modern actors. It has a meta aesthetic to it, it looks like a period piece and not something real. I look at it and see actors on a set. I look at Cameron’s film and I feel the wind and the temperature and the sounds. It’s just simply vivid.

    Great video! My favourite has always been Cameron’s version, but I’ve also watched the 1996 film multiple times. I recently watched A Night To Remember for the first time though, and thought it felt almost like seeing a history book played out in film form since it’s so focused on portraying the facts, while Cameron’s film is better at capturing the feeling and emotional experience of being on the ship, in my opinion, mostly thanks to the story and music. I actually think focusing on the two (fictional) characters was a good decision and made the film at least more impactful than ANTR for me, thus better conveying the tradgedy of the disaster. But I get why someone would prefer the older film as well, it’s just about what kind of style you like. Now I’m also a little curious of what you’d think about the Titanic video games, like the Hidden Mysteries ones. I kinda like their stories and find them at least quite interesting.

      I, too, have had trouble getting in contact with the Queen Mary via telephone. And I've known someone else trying to find out things they couldn't find on the website who had trouble as well getting a hold of someone. And this was for an outing with a group of people. I don't know what the issue might be with them. I hope it's something practical like being short-staffed. With all the re-organizing, I hope they get a system down. The website [has become] a little all over the place in my experience, too. I found out by visiting the ship fairly recently that you don't need to book a tour in order to board any longer. But I didn't see anything that verified this. Hopefully, soon, all information will be a lot easier to achieve. I'm sorry you've been having trouble.

    I cruised on celebration as a kid in like 2005 or something and it was a bit run down even then. I've gotten super into watching cruise ship reviews on CZcams and to be honest i actually like the design of these more compared to the new mega ships Royal Caribbean has and the sparky/shiny modern MSC ships. Those ships don't have the kind of personality and uniqueness of these old ones to me. The MSC ones are so bland and give off that millennial grey/glam style and royal Caribbean ships are just big ugly monsters and look like big shopping malls. The old carnival cruises genuinely have personality and fun to them even if they're often gaudy. Im also a little bit into watching videos on interior design and it seems the minimalist designs are starting to seem dated and post modern and maximalist style is "in" right now especially with gen z. I don't know much about interior design of public and commercial spaces but i wonder if we'll start to see this shift in design reflected in cruise ships someday?

    I remember sailing Majesty and Monarch of the Seas and will be on Carnival Elation soon. Just got off Icon of the Seas too. RCI got it right with the Voyager class and they'll probably sail for 50 years.

    I feel bad for Garrett (I subscribed to Garrett's channel when I stopped watching Shane)
