Some form of birth control!

That is so true. Haven't seen anyone mention it on here yet. :D Thank you!!!

We always dress up. Never regret it:D. We get nice pictures/memories and a good feeling. Yes, most of the times we feel a little out of place but no, still don't regret it;)

Figure out the shortest way to the dining room. We spent oh so many precious minutes trying to find our way. Up and down, back and forth:rolleyes:

You may want to consider having this on hand. I have heard of cruisers being denied boarding because they do not have consent from the other parent. Would hate for your vacation to be ruined by something so easy to obtain.

The reason I asked the question is that it would be extremely hard to get the letter signed because the father is, let's just say, far far away. But we will definitely do our best to get it.

There are so many answers to these questions on Google so I'm a bit lost. Your help is greatly appreciated.

1. My sister has a green card and a driver's license, is that enough for a cruise to the Bahamas? (I read that it's enough to enter US but not the Bahamas:confused:)

2. Does she need a consent letter from the father of kids? (Also read that she ABSOLUTELY MUST have it)

3.Does she have to bring the original birth certificates for kids, or just the copies?

Thanks in advance!

I was on Victory in July. It's a bit different from other small ships, you know, where everything is located but it's not bad. It's actually very nice. I didn't think it was dark. It's a nice ship, not too different from other carnival ships.

I took that same cruise back in March and LOVED IT. I'm sure it will be a blast when I go in October! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

My sister(bff) and I are sailing on Victory in 5 days and I am SO excited. I love, love, love your review. I read a lot of reviews for victory and yours is the BEST. It's so detailed and I love the pictures. It just makes me forget all the negative reviews I ever read. Your attitude Is amazing and I wish all the cruisers had that attitude.

Thank you so much for your review! :)

I was on Paradise in January, my first cruise ever. It's very clean and the staff is extremely nice and funny. I loved the ship, very homey. I loved the karaoke bar. The bartender there (named Dragon) is a super duper amazing guy. Also, if you're going to take pictures, Branislav takes GREAT pictures. He's the tall and attractive guy always on the pictures floor ;) AAAND if you get Sam as your waiter in the MDR, you're in luck. He'll look past a lot of things :p

There are movies or major sporting events on the big screen by the main pool every night. They're listed in the Fun Times schedule for the day, which you receive in your cabin the night before. I've never seen a movie schedule ahead of time for the Victory.

Thank You!!! That makes sense :)

I know that there is a theater but I don't know how it work. Is there just one movie night or is it every night? Is there a schedule? I would love, love, love to watch a movie on the ship and I don't want to miss it.:rolleyes:

Teens exaggerate, that's a fact. I was a teen once. I made up stories of how I met guys. I made up stories to get out of trouble. Most of us have, I believe. :D

They will not let a 20 yr old into the 02 club, just like they won't let a 17 yr old into the disco club. I'm still asked for my ID when entering the club, but that's not the point. The point is that people refuse to think with their heads and blame everything on others.:p

Good to hear about the serenity deck. I plan on relaxing this time, with my book, chocolates (I'm a girl) and music.

I get it, I should carry my DL with me. I need to find a way to attach it to myself because I wear dresses (those don't have pockets). Any ideas?

I have one of those baby faces, I don't look 21. If I want to buy a drink, can they check it when scanning my S&S card or should I have my ID with me just in case? Also, the serenity deck, can they just scan my S&S to see that I'm 21?

Thanks in advance!!!:)

All I can offer is that I've never NOT seen my steward before muster. Those room motion sensors must work very well.

There are motion sensors in rooms?????I didn't know that...

Imagination it was the best party I ever been to for 5 days!

That's why I liked it!!!It's 5-day party!!!

Paradise, January 2014. Loved it and got hooked. Best vacation so far:)

The opposite happened to us. The steward was ALWAYS there. Seriously, whenever we came to our room, he was just there and we went to our room very often. He was always in the same spot, right by our door:confused:

The victory hasn't had the upgrades yet.

I see that you were on Victory in May:) How was it overall? I booked it and didn't really do a research on it.

Which is?????? :confused:

I decided that we will go on Glory in September, to Caribbean. It's a 7 night cruise for only $400 and the itinerary is great.

Also, decided to go to Bahamas on Victory, in July. I didn't do a research on Victory, just booked it. I think it got a 2.0 upgrade in 2013.

Great! Thank you all!!! I made a choice:D

First of all, what does it mean when a ship gets the 2.0 upgrade?

I booked a cruise on Victory for July and I found out that it got the 2.0 upgrade recently. I'm guessing that it's a good thing but I don't know what it means.

Your input is HIGHLY appreciated!!!!

Catalina is small but very beautiful. We did the eco zip lining tour and it was a BLAST. It's really fun for all ages. The food is great in Catalina. If you're into seafood try this place called "Lobster Shack"???Something like that.

My sister and I drove from Seattle to Long Beach. The traffic in LA was unbelievable. We made it 30 minutes before sailing. Our GPS navigator broke so we had to use the good old signs and our heads to get there. By the time we got on the ship, we were so mentally drained that we just sat there, looking into the distance. ..I don't remember the rest of that day... It wasn't fun...

I booked all my cruises a week before the sailing. I didn't ask for specific rooms though. I just got what they gave me. Last cruise, I booked an inside and they gave me an oceanview :D
