imluvncruzn Posted February 7, 2017 #52 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Anyone who has recently sailed the Victory and had delayed boarding, did you notice if there were any wedding parties and if so, were they also delayed? My daughter is getting married on the Victory on April 21, and with such a short window for her non-sailing guests, I'm really hoping the wedding party can get on board in time. We sailed on January 30th and there was a wedding party. They boarded at 12:00pm. I am platinum and boarded at 1:15pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted February 7, 2017 #53 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Do they have "beach towels" in the rooms to use when in port? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes. They always have beach towels in your cabin for you to use throughout the cruise. Just bring the dirty towels back and your room steward will replace them with clean beach towels daily. Make sure you don't lose them or they will charge you $22 per towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted February 7, 2017 #54 Share Posted February 7, 2017 This is great! The rooms look amazing! Did you use the USB ports? Did they work to charge your phones? I'm thinking for 2 of us we probably don't have to bring the power strip! Yes the USB ports worked great for our phones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYWEST1 Posted February 9, 2017 #56 Share Posted February 9, 2017 We are currently booked on deck 9 for March 20th sailing. There are still available balconies on deck 8 (also cheaper but they can't give me a credit because I booked late?). Would you switch? I'm kind of mad that they didn't mention anything about the refurbished cabins. I called today and the girl was clueless. She said they're loading supplies (delayed boarding), but they wouldn't be doing any construction during cruise. Only in dry dock. So does anyone know when they're actually working on the cabins? Thx for any info. The 360 deg view of the Lido balconies looks like what I remember, but this thread makes them seem really bad. Are the pictures on the website accurate? Thx again!

siestakeys04 Posted February 10, 2017 Author #57 Share Posted February 10, 2017 From what I have been reading they have been working on cabins during sailing(someone correct me if this is wrong). They were/are on deck 8 they have completed 1,2,6,7. If you go back to post 38-39 you will see how the updated rooms look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a room on deck 8 sailing out March 31 and hope that it's updated! Anyone that can validate this for me?

beccabgrateful Posted February 11, 2017 #59 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Last I heard they were currently working during sailings on room renovations. Currently on deck 8 starboard side. Some on deck 8 aft as well. I'm sailing a week from Monday on deck 8 so I will let you know. :) And yeah carnival customer svc seems to have no idea about room renovations.

imluvncruzn Posted February 11, 2017 #60 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I called prior to my Jan. 30th sailing and the Carnival rep had no information about room renovations. She put me on hold for a few minutes and came back and said they would not be renovating until Victory's next dry dock. LOL! They really are clueless!

I don't know what the 360 deg view shows but I've been on the Victory three times. The older cabins have basically the same layout as the renovated ones but the older cabins are all orange with the old vinyl couch. They have tube tvs instead of flat screens and they also do not have refrigerators. The new cabins have normal blow dryers and USB ports built in the wall for charging stuff (the older cabins do not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mroden2699 Posted February 11, 2017 #62 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So for the record, decks 1 and 2 are updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYWEST1 Posted February 11, 2017 #63 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks everybody for the responses. I think I'll keep my Lido cabin even if it's not updated. I don't mind the orange rooms! Me and a friend are taking our 2 college daughters (who are roomies) so I think it's going to be a fun cruise! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siestakeys04 Posted February 13, 2017 Author #64 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Yes deck 1-2 done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B744 Posted February 13, 2017 #65 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'm boarding the Victory today and we have delayed boarding. I'm on deck 6, so from what I've read so far, I have an updated cabin. The cabin pics I've seen here look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea_Legs38 Posted February 13, 2017 #66 Share Posted February 13, 2017 B744, could you please let me know if rooms 8402 & 8410 balcony rooms are updated when you return. We are going for a special occasion. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldecherrykrush Posted February 13, 2017 #67 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Just got off the ship today - we had balcony 6374 and all of deck 6 appeared to be refurbished. Likewise, we walked deck 7 and it appeared done. We didn't walk deck 8, but since they are working their way up from the lower decks, guessing that is where the work is now taking place. When we left today, cabins on Lido were open for housekeeping and they are still the older style/palette. Other than a delayed boarding, and one of the aft starboard elevators' walls covered in padded protection material, the crew did an outstanding job limiting the impacts of the work to those enjoying our vacation!

B744 Posted February 14, 2017 #69 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Deck 8 aft starboard side is being updated now. I'm on the Victory now and I just walked that deck. None of the cabins on Deck 9 have been updated as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdepetris Posted February 14, 2017 #70 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Have they made it up to 8271 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B744 Posted February 14, 2017 #71 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Have they made it up to 8271 yet? They are working on 8271 now. So to update: from 8202 to 8252 on the port side are being updated, then from 8201 to 8399 on the starboard side are being updated.
