Stacey779 Posted June 20, 2009 #401 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) The cruises we have been on, we usually booked through the ship or just wandered around by ourselves. we used to only book through the ship as well. then i found cruise critic and started booking independently. what a difference! we will never book through the ship again. not only do we save some money, but the quality of the tours is so much better. have fun on your trip! :) Edited June 20, 2009 by Stacey779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megnolia Posted June 20, 2009 #404 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I think Victory was my favourite ship, and by far the most amazing itinerary. We did the following: San Juan - missed the ship, so ended up flying on a 9 seater to St. thomas St. Thomas - taxi to the ship, and don't leave since we were so pleased to be there! Dominica - Roseau Valley Best Tour with Levi Baron of Bumpiing tours - INCREDIBLE!!!! Barbados - Helicopter tour of the island with Horizon Helicopters and Concorde Experience. Very cool. St. Lucia - Land and Sea Combo to Soufriere through Carnival - nice tour Antigua - Kayaking and Snorkel tour through Carnival - not the greatest we've ever done. Not our favourite stop. St. Kitts - Scenic Rail tour booked through Carnival - really cool, definitely worthwhile for one time, and a nice relaxing tour to end a busy week The ship is beautiful, in my opinion, and had a laid-back, easygoing feel .

TexasRed Posted June 20, 2009 #406 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I think it must be the play of the angular lines against the light and shadows. It is very pretty visually, alot to draw your eyes to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dznymom Posted June 22, 2009 #412 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I am so excited to be sailing the beautiful Victory again soon. After much research we have almost got our itinerary worked out for August. St Thomas - Been there a few times so we may mosey off the ship at some point or we may just enjoy the ship. Dominica - Levi Baron Roseau Valley Treasures Wet Tour plus Champagne Reef Barbados - Shasa Catamaran snorkeling with turtles, etc. St. Lucia - Spencer Ambrose full day tour including Jalousie Beach Antigua - Renting a car so DH can show me all the places he visited back in the day St. Kitts - Just planning on a beach day View from my window in New Brunswick last summer. How cute is he?? And here is the odd fellow guarding my casino.... Edited June 22, 2009 by dznymom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted June 22, 2009 #415 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just curious....the ship leaves at 10 pm...how did you miss the ship? That's what I thought too! With a 10 p.m. departure time I woulda thought that Victory would be just about impossible to miss! Enquiring Minds need to know just how you missed this one! :D .

Cigar Dude Posted June 22, 2009 #416 Share Posted June 22, 2009 We're beach people. We like heading into the various towns to shop and site see for a few hours then heading out to the closest/best beach to the ship. With 6 stops on this itinerary which are the best beaches that are close to the ship that have food and drinks and chairs, etc.? I'm leaning toward (but open for suggestions): St. Thomas: Megans Bay Dominicana: Mero Beach Barbados: Accra (ringer) :D St. Lucia: Choc Bay Antigua: Arkwood Beach St. Kitts: Cockleshell Beach Your comments are very welcome! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRed Posted June 22, 2009 #417 Share Posted June 22, 2009 That's what I thought too! With a 10 p.m. departure time I woulda thought that Victory would be just about impossible to miss! Enquiring Minds need to know just how you missed this one! :D . I am gonna go out on a limb, and say that since she lives in Canada, and her siggy says she cruised in December, that they missed departure in San Juan due to bad weather somewhere. We live in Texas, and I have heard more than once that "there won't be a delay because I am going from a warm climate to a warm climate, so no chance of getting snowed in." But folks forget that their plane may have had a connecting flight prior to theirs that WAS delayed, which throws everything off. On our very first cruise, we departed Tampa, and the first stop was Key West the next morning. As we got off, there was luggage waiting to go through the x-ray machine, someone had missed the ship due to a late flight, and had to drive all night to catch the ship in Key West. What a way to start a vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryde Posted June 23, 2009 #423 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We really don't remember on all whether we dock or tender in St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, and St. Kitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelling4life Posted June 23, 2009 #424 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Does anyone have pics of room 6400 with Balcony? Do they have refrigerators? And what side of ship would this be on? Is it the side you see the Island approach in the am or the Island leave in the pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelling4life Posted June 23, 2009 #425 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Does it cost to eat in the Dining rooms? I am confused. This is our first cruise. When do you pay and when do you not for food and beverages. What beverages are complimentary? And where on the ship do you eat complimentary?
