afreetdragon Posted March 3, 2017 #128 Share Posted March 3, 2017 From this thread, it seems like they will likely be working on the 10th floor when we sail at the end of March. Just curious if I will have any choice in what happens if they need to work on the room we've booked at that time. I've been watching this thread, and it's really hard to tell what the pace is. It also doesn't sound like calling to ask will be worthwhile... I'm much more interested in keeping my upper floor and cabin type over having refurbished room. I know they can change cabin assignments for a variety of reasons, but I'm not clear on whether we would be notified if it has to happen. Has anyone had their room changed/moved because of the construction? Were you notified before check-in? We were originally booked on deck 10 in a 4J but was asked to move to deck 2 OV I'm assuming because of the renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanshark Posted March 3, 2017 #129 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I would think that decks 9/10/11 will be done fairly quickly.... This is because those decks only have cabins from the lido forward. Decks 1,2,6,7,8 have cabins down the whole length of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITISSA Posted March 3, 2017 #130 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Attached are some pics with notes on each. Loved the ship / food / ports. Did not like the shows (probably have seen too many) and casino was cold as ice - no one winning. We did anytime dining - no problems, barely a wait. Buffet lines were huge during check in and back on ship from Key West. However, we were on early for both so no issues. I love cruising and will be on a ship somewhere sometime soon. Great pictures, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B744 Posted March 3, 2017 #131 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you so much. That was super fast... I see it is a curtain and not a door, correct? You're welcome. Yes, it's a shower curtain.

Sea_Legs38 Posted March 3, 2017 #136 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Does the bathrooms have a night light to see at night? I was on a ship recently, that was completely dark at night. We had to turn on the main bathroom light and blind ourselves in order to use the toilet Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleibo Posted March 3, 2017 #137 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I don't recall the bathrooms having a night light - we just kept the light on with the door ajar a bit at night. Couple of other things - my husband did have the beer from the do it yourself beer station machine - no issues - beer was cold and good. Also, I don't remember being able to keep the balcony doors open on previous ships. Now you push them open and they stay open. Loved that. We also found the bartenders to be very generous with their drinks - especially at the Alchemy Bar. I have the fun times programs - I'll bring them to work next week, scan and post.

Also, in the upgraded cabins, the bathroom door opens toward the bed, not toward the cabin entry door like it did before the upgrades.

nessz79 Posted March 4, 2017 #141 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Has there been delayed boarding for most boardings for the past few weeks? We sail on 3/13 and are wondering if we should expect this. Our scheduled check-in time is 12:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorejessica42 Posted March 4, 2017 #142 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hi everyone! I will be on the Victory on April 17th in room 6224. This will be my 10th Carnival cruise, but first with the new updated cabins. Do they have a electrical outlet in the bathroom now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCruze Posted March 4, 2017 #143 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We just returned on 3/3 and they had all of the rooms on the port side of deck 9 shut down for renovation. In addition, the whole bank of port side elevators were unavailable on any floor during the day and not available on deck 9 at any time. This is how they ferry the old stuff out and the new stuff in. This was never an issue. We were on deck 10 and there was some noise and cutting noticeable but not a problem. The 2 hour delay allows them to remove the old fixtures and load the new fixtures. We look forward to seeing the project completed. This is a great ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathrooms still have one 220V outlet for electrical razors only and one in the cabin plus two 120V electrical outlets and two USB ports.

Our scheduled check-in time is 12:30. Yes, I sailed on 2/13 and 2/27/17 and there was delayed boarding on both occasions. There were also late departures on both sailings but the 2/27 sailing left at about 7:00 pm, one hour later than the previous sailing I was on. They will send you an email about 5 days before and also give you a pre-recorded phone call the day before your sailing.

Do you think it's better to show up 1-2 hours later than your scheduled boarding time in these cases? Or do they give you an updated recommended time of arrival?

brachmanns Posted March 6, 2017 #149 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Is it even worth getting the FFTF for my trip at the end of the month with all the 2 hour delays? It would be a long enough day for me since leaving my state at midnight the day before the cruise. Thanks. Has anyone had an inside cabin on Rivera deck yet? No mini frig?
