Heard from our travel agent today, everything is all confirmed and we got our balcony room ( as originally booked on the Victory) in a room that is mid-ship on the Empress Deck (#7)

We leave on our first cruise on November 28. I'm assuming this will not be on the Victory then.

You should contact your travel agent and find out. Also see if they are providing you with an OBC because of the change.

We were also switched from the Victory to the Sensation. The Sensation was our very first cruise (Dec. of 1999). Looking forward to it.

 

esdoorn - When is your cruise in March of 2016? Ours leaves on March 14.

Will miss you by two weeks. Our cruise is March 28, 2016.

We were booked on the Victory for 2/25/16 and are now on the Sensation, but we were not offered any OBC!! I'm about to call my TA. They are probably sick of me b/c I've been calling since the announcement was made to make sure they are fixing our room, etc. I knew they were changing ships before the agency did.

I hope you get your OBC. It was something my travel agent said they were giving us, I never asked for it or asked for a price reduction either.

We knew that we would be changing ships ahead of time, I actually phoned my agent and said I heard that the victory was going to be changing ports and my cruise didn't show up anymore. He said to leave it with him and he called me two days later to let me know of the change and ask if I was ok with it. I said as long as we get a balcony room like we had paid for, we were good to go. That's when he said great and by the way, you each get a $100 OBC for your trouble. We are booked through Air Canada Vacations for the trip, so not sure if it something they do or if it was carnival.

I think Tapi was referring to the color "purple". She might get purpled out:eek:

My wife said that would be impossible, in fact, she found a new purple drink called 'Dark Matter' that she wants to have the bartender make for her when we are on board. :)

It was my travel agent that called me and advised me of the change and wanted to make sure I was ok with it.

I said as long as we get a room with a balcony (which we had already booked) that I was fine with the change. He said that for our trouble, Carnival will give each of us a $100 OBC. So I said go for it!

The Sensation is a great ship. Would much rather sail her than the Victory. Been on her twice. Purple is my favorite color too. I get a kick out of the psychedelic design on that ship!

 

Great waterworks on her for kids and kids at heart. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks!!

After having suffered at a 3 star Cuba all-inclusive, anything is an upgrade! :)

When does the sensation change ports?

I would assume it will be when the Victory changes ports some time in the fall.

It may not be after she sails on the Sensation! [emoji13]

No, I'm confident everything will be fine. We tend to be 'glass half full' people instead of 'glass half empty'.

2 more tips. She's quite PURPLE! I like her intimacy, you learn your way around fast and you see the same people more than once!

Thanks for the tips!

Purple happens to be my wife's favourite colour.

Thanks for the tips!!!

This is our very first cruise, so we have no expectations going in! We just want to enjoy ourselves whether it be on ship or when we are in port.

After suffering the horrible food at the all-inclusive resorts in Cuba, we figure this will be an upgrade!

For our troubles, they gave us each a $100 OBC.

Heard from my travel agent today that my March 2016 5 day Bahamas/Grand Turk cruise on the Victory out of Miami will now be taken over by the Sensation because of it moving ports.
