Hidden decks on a Carnival cruise ship always make you feel like you have found somewhere special and the Carnival Venezia’s secret decks are no exception. The Carnival Venezia has two levels of hidden or secret decks on the front of the ship.
They are not accessible from inside on every level, but they’re not hard to find!
Finding the Carnival Venezia Hidden Decks from outside
The easiest way to get there is to walk forwards on deck 5. Once you get to the front of the ship you will find a set of stairs leading up. Take the stairs up to deck 6, which does not have access from the inside.
This is the one I would really call a hidden deck because the only way to access it is from the stairs from the exterior decks above or below.
From deck 6 you can continue up to deck 7, where you can get a very similar view to the one from the bridge.
I kind of felt like I was stalking the bridge to take the picture!
You can get back inside from deck 7. Just go around to the side and you will find a door back inside.
Finding the secret decks from inside
Similarly, you can go outside from deck 7. If you go all the way forwards, look to your left and right to find the door that leads outside.
Sometimes they will close the front decks if it is really windy, so sometimes you get out there to find a closed sign or a rope. This is not out of the ordinary. Just try again another day.
And that’s it. The hidden decks on the Carnival Venezia are not a secret and they are actually pretty easy to find. They make a great spot to watch the ship sail in or out of port, or just to take some evening photos!
