Carnival imagination-carnival victory "back-to-back" review (pics) 4-12-2013

Waterworks on Victory. It was heavily used this trip!

Look at all the EMPTY chairs being reserved by people who have no intention of using those chairs. I am all for being able to go in the pool, come out, go back, etc... but I saw people come, adjust their stuff so it looked different, and leave. ALL AFTERNOON. Why does Carnival have a posted policy and then NOT enforce it. Arrgh.

Liberty kept pace with us...

Serenity: Forward, Deck 11, 12

Pool was crowded:

Chocolate buffet:

This is a Funship Special. This is delicious.

Goose at the VIP party:

LOL:

We decided to go into the Arcade. Found out that you can get tickets put on your Sail & Sign card when you play and can redeem these tickets for goodies. I don't know how long this has been in practice because we don't normally go in the arcade... but you might want to be mindful of that if you let your kids loose with their S&S card...

OMG OMG OMG we found a SKEE BALL machine! (Have I mentioned I LOVE Skee Ball?!)

One of the dancers was teaching a John Travolta's "Stayin' Alive" dance class... they did REALLY well!

The WONDERFUL group of people who adopted Barry and I at dinner so we didn't feel alone

The flat-ironed steak was greatly improved:

Twirl those napkins, people!

Singing good-bye:

FINALLY... after several attempts, the platinum pin finally arrived...

Lifeline:

Whenever they played, we were there. They. were. AWESOME.

Then there was this girl who asked if she could play the drums during a song. They obliged. She ROCKED. I think her name was Katelyn. She jammed on Led Zeppelin... it was GREAT.

This girl was SO FUN. She always had that wristlet on and danced like no one was watching. But we were. LOL. She made ANYone that walked near her dance with her. She dragged me up there once and tried several other times over the course of the cruise. She was a hoot. (If you are reading this, I had such fun!)

I am going to try and post this... see if you can see Lifeline in action:

Thanks again for the beautiful pics and information. Sounds like Jacks may be the place for me :)

It is a lot of work to do these, so it is always nice to find those who love them... really love them. Thanks for telling me and I hope (and know you will) have a blast on your upcoming cruise!

Really great review. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

I think I've been on the imagination 4 or 5 times back in the 90's or early 2000 it had some of the best deck parties, now that was the true fun ship. Great ship.

Gary.

So which ship (just boat, not itinerary) did you prefer and why?

OK, for those of you asking for the Fun Times for Victory, I relented and scanned them... Here you go.
