Carnival Victory details.

We are flying in a few days early and staying at Hilton Airport in Miami, and renting a car

I'm trying to book a cruise on Carnival Victory on Sept. 11, for me and wife 5th year anniversary.

We are gonna do a balcony room, should i request a certain floor , so the way it will guarantee a remodeled room?

What kind of condition is this ship in?

Did i make a good choice?

Thank so much all in advance!

We just came off the Victory and while we had a good time I wouldn't say it was the "best" ship in the fleet. It didn't have all of the 2.0 upgrades (which we missed). We had a first time cruiser with us and they thought the ship was beautiful and didn't notice the "tiredness" of the ship, so it's all a matter of perspective.

Would I sail on the Victory again? Probably not, it's a 4-5 hour drive for us, so I would probably look for a ship that had more of the upgrades. If I was already in Miami for something else I would go on her again.

We loved the Victory for a short get-away. We did however find that it definitely had a have fun party atmosphere. We had one of the L-shaped balconies for the first time and fell in love with it. The room was smaller, but the balcony twice as long with a full lounger in addition to the two chairs. Plus, because of the long hallway as you enter the room, the cabin seems more quiet to us. Otherwise, she is just a standard Carnival ship - not all the bells and whistles but still a fun time.

We are booked in cabin 6459 on Victory sailing 09/11/2017. We had our first "L-shaped" balcony on Splendor last Oct (cabin 7434). LOVE these cabins!!!

I heard that the Victory is going into dry dock in January. I'm sailing in June, can someone tell me what will happen in dry dock, new upgrades maybe???

yes new upgrades and new bedding

I sailed the Victory in May. For the price, it was a great value on a neat little ship. It's far from flagship though.

I just got off the Victory yesterday and have already posted a review you can search and find.

She's a little tired - our handle was broken in the shower. The doors needed some painting. But you know what, none of that mattered! We still had a fabulous time! Kat the bartender on the Serenity Deck is the best one on the ship. Tell her Angela from North Carolina sent you!

yes new upgrades and new bedding

thanks, can't wait!!!
