Just Booked the Victory...

Who loves her, and why?

We've been on many cruise ships, of many different cruise lines, but never the Victory.

Our cruise is Oct 2nd Southern Caribbean, booked a balcony guaranty and waiting for room assignment.

-at Carnival's San Juan terminal.

Victory pulls out at 10 p.m. so be ready for a sailaway that looks something like...

Victory's atrium is pretty darned amazing too

This is the view from inside one of the atrium's glass elevators..

Wow! Thank you! Love the pics. When were they taken?

Great pics...thanks for posting! We are counting down the days to November!

In these islands, May is usually the peak of Dry Season, little or no rain

vegetation turned a bit brown, very sunny skies.

Bring your sun-screen!

We are planning on June 2012. can you post more pics?

Good job. We leave out on Jan.15th. We have not cruised out of San Juan in over 11 years.

Best itinerary ever!! We loved all the shops, the rooms are fabulous and the balconies are CHEAP!

I love the Victory. The pictures bring back some good memories. I think it's a nice ship, lots of bar choices, good entertainment, and the size is just right. Big enough to have some space, but small enough that you get to everything quickly. Yeah, the decor is a bit glitzy over-the-top and Vegas glamour, but it makes it interesting and exciting to look at. You'll have a good time on the cruise.

we had 6207 and it was biiig!

There are a very few wheelchair-accessible cabins on board, with room enough to maneuver a Buick

no step-up into the bathroom, etc.

BUT you're right up front and you're going to get some banging of the bow into the swells,

you're gonna hear the whine of the bow thrusters as she docks and un-docks

and the wind whistling in the balcony-door crack when she's heading up-weather towards Barbados. ;)

You'll walk this way almost every evening...

She really should relax more...

.

Sure can! What aspects of the ship would you like to see??

Give me some leads! :)

I have told my new cruisers that they can distinguish the side of the ship their cabin is on by the color of the passageway carpet. Is this true for the Victory?

The ship is older, but still beautiful.

I love this itinerary! We had an aft-view and absolutey loved every minute of this cruise.

Loved this ship & itinerary, on her at the end of march this year... I didnt take too many pictures of the ship but I do have a lot of the islands. She was so easy to navigate and never felt packed. We had room 1040, an inside but that was all we needed since it was so port intensive. We are looking forward to booking this cruise again, probably not until Spring 2013.

and have zero recollection of differing carpet colors, per Port/Starboard sides of the ship's corridors.

There are signson all corridors that indicate Odd Numbers on one side

and Even Numbers on the other --that you can look out for.

May 27th here!!!

Thank you so much for the pictures!!! I LOVE those lights in the ceiling on Neptunes Way... not sure it matches the rest of the decor but I want those lights in my house!!!!!! The green in the atrium is so pretty! Do you have any dining room pics?

Wow! Amazing pictures, we sail on her next summer. can hardly wait!!

any dinning room pictures? Thank you.

Alpmac, your pictures are AMAZING! Makes me feel like I'm onboard again...

OP, this ship is beautiful, the service outstanding and you can't beat the itinerary. I wish I was sailing her again any time soon.....

Sailed her solo last year, I loved it so much I am going on her again this month, this time I have 3 friends going also, I love the itinerary, last year we did stop at Dominica which now is a sea day.

We are going to treat San Juan as a port day, we have to fly in the day of(I know, I know) but kind of have no choice, the good thing is our flight gets in at 10am.
