Dining
Carnival's current ship page names these rooms. The 2 Feb 2024 handover release also named Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, the Heroes Tribute Lounge, and JavaBlue as venues the ship would carry. The current overview we checked does not repeat those three names, so confirm them on the live dining list. Neither page prints which meals are included.
- Michelangelo and Medici Restaurants
- Il Viaggio
- La Strada Grill
- Il Mercato
- Tomodoro
- Guy's Burger Joint, described with Italian twists
- Amari
- Rococó
- Frizzante
- Moda Bar and Lounge
Entertainment
The ship page names these public rooms. Piazza Duomo is the atrium, which Carnival ties to Florence's main square.
- Piazza Duomo
- Teatro Rosso, with Playlist Productions shows
- Tuscan Lounge
- Terrazza Moda, the private deck tied to Terrazza staterooms
Cabins
Carnival's stateroom headings split ordinary cabins from Terrazza cabins. The page says Terrazza guests must be 12 or older and get access to Terrazza Moda. It does not print square footage in those headings.
- Interior, including picture-window, porthole, and upper/lower layouts
- Ocean View and Deluxe Ocean View, including obstructed-view versions
- Balcony, Premium Balcony, Aft-View Extended Balcony, and Cove Balcony
- Terrazza Interior, Terrazza Premium Balcony, Terrazza Premium Vista Balcony, Terrazza Aft-View Extended Balcony, and Terrazza Cabana
- Ocean Suite, including an obstructed-view version
CDC score
The CDC Vessel Sanitation Program green sheet, checked 27 Sep 2026, lists Carnival Firenze at 98 from an inspection on 12 Jan 2026. The sheet says scores of 85 or lower are not satisfactory. A score is one unannounced inspection. It is not a rating of every later sailing.
