Staircase at the Canal Grande Restaurant (one of the two Main Dining Rooms) on the Carnival Venezia
Our third sea day was mostly about exercising and eating and, for me, enjoying the beautiful views of the sun, clouds and ocean. Today’s story will be mostly about the food.
The Sea Day Brunch was available from 8:30 a.m. until noon in the Canal Grande Restaurant, but we decided, again, to eat breakfast at the Lido Marketplace breakfast buffet.
There was another cute towel animal on our bed when we got to our stateroom after breakfast.

After exercising we had lunch. The theme at Chef’s Choice at the Lido Marketplace lunch buffet was Latin America.

For lunch I ate at the Chinese Buffet at Seafood Shack again (which is free and available every sea day). I’ve said it before, but I really like the food there, especially the Vegetable Spring Rolls! So yummy!

After watching the sunset together we got changed to eat appetizers at the Grande Canal Restaurant.

After our dinner appetizers in the Main Dining Room (Canal Grande Restaurant) we went to eat dinner at the Lido Marketplace dinner buffet.

It was an extra dessert option; there was no name plate saying what it was, they had only a few out, but it was super delicious. I think maybe it was leftover from another day or another restaurant. Whatever it was, I loved it!
Later on we got some pizza from Pizzeria del Capitano. The two guys making the pizzas were not friendly, which, fortunately, is the exception for the employees on Carnival Cruise Line. The guy who put my pizza together seemed annoyed that I requested extra cheese. Then it took over 30 minutes to make my pizza (there was no line the entire time we waited, he just kept making other pizzas and putting them out before he made my pizza). Then, when my pizza was finally ready, it came out soggy – it was such a mess.

We did some other things around the ship then went to bed.
