Long Beach is fun, but it isn't known as a hotspot of Italian culture, yet! In spring 2024, Carnival Firenze will debut, setting sail from this homeport towards south-of-the-border fun along Mexico's Pacific coast! So, Long Beach, you're wondering what to expect from Fun Italian Style. Grab your movie star sunglasses and throw on a scarf just for style, as you make your entrance at Piazza Duomo, named for Florence's iconic domed cathedral.

To get a taste for onboard flavor and flair, check out spots like the elegant three-course Palazzo and Medici Restaurant, Italian street food spot La Strada Grill, and even sources of fusion-y goodness like the Mexican-Italian Tomodoro and Guy's Burger Joint, now featuring classics and burgers with Italian twists. For refreshment served up in a glass, look to cocktail bar Amari Frizzante with its three specialties (bubbly drinks, snacks and coffee!), frozen drinks with a bit of attitude at Rococo plus fine Italian wines at Carnevale Bar & Lounge.

Spots for entertainment include the classic-theater vibe of Teatro Rosso featuring Playlist Productions shows, and Tuscan Lounge paying tribute to Florence's iconic home region. Let's not forget Terrazza staterooms, we could never! which give you a stylish, comfy place to unwind from all the fun near a private deck featuring exclusive amenities like all-day lounging with great drinks, entertainment, whirlpools and more.

While we're excited about the Italian side of this ship, it's not the whole story. Carnival has some true fan-favorites we know folks will be asking for. That's why Carnival Firenze also includes familiar flavors, starting with special dining spots like Bonsai Teppanyaki and Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse. Places to celebrate absolutely anything (or just nothing!) include Piano Bar 88 and Serenity Bar, while you can seriously kick back at Cloud 9 Spa and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat.

Kids are going to love Camp Ocean, Circle C and Club O2 each one is perfectly designed for a different age group. And if active/splashy fun is your thing, that's honestly a great thing and we can tell you're going to be spending time at WaterWorks and SportSquare, home to a ropes course, jogging track, mini golf course and outdoor fitness center. It won't be long, Long Beach! Carnival Firenze sets sail from your sweet shores next spring. Andiamo!

Pizzaria Del Capitano

Carnival ships make a big deal about their captains, even turning them into something of a celebrity. On select ships, they've gone the extra mile, giving the captains their own pizza spot. The great news? Pizzeria del Capitano is open round the clock, and you're more than welcome to join. (Pizza until 4 a.m.!) Since our captains often have Italian roots, you can bet on primo ingredients. The dough, hand-tossed and made from imported Italian flour, paired with fresh mozzarella, forms a solid foundation. Choose your favourite toppings to complete this piping hot, straight-from-the-oven classic for any mealtime or snack time. (And don't forget to try our caesar salad, buono, capisce?)

Craving a taste of the old neighbourhood? Stack 'em high at the Carnival Deli. Indulge in timeless classics like a hot pastrami on rye, a grilled Reuben, or roasted turkey breast on a country roll. The sandwiches and wraps are meticulously hand-carved, always served fresh with cole slaw or relish. Swing by to satiate your longing for a fantastic sandwich, and be sure not to overlook the kosher dill.
