wework2play Posted April 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We are leaving on the Victory out of Miami next Monday, and I'm with a group. I want to pick somewhere to tell everyone to meet for sail away. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay-eh Posted April 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I personally like to go to the secret deck - is much less crowded. I like to see where I am going not where I am leaving but each person has a preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrot7 Posted April 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We are leaving on the Victory out of Miami next Monday, and I'm with a group. I want to pick somewhere to tell everyone to meet for sail away. Any suggestions? There's secret decks, all the way forward on decks 6 and 7... Most people don't know or don't remember they're there. You can see everything and usually deserted :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted April 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Lido deck, where all of the action is, or, my balcony. Nah....LIDO!!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCteacherlovescruising Posted April 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We were on the lido deck for our first cruise and our second was on our balcony. I enjoyed both, although very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time2CruiseAgain Posted April 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We usually meet up with roll call group at the Aft bar, and then head up on top deck fr Sail Away! 35 DAYS! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travlngrl1996 Posted April 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The first cruise, Lido. The next cruise, the secret deck. The last two, the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipq Posted April 7, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If the group is fairly good size and grab their DOD on the way to the secret deck all the way forward, you could have a nearly private sail away. You will not however, be able to clearly hear the sail away DJ so there is a draw back.. There is so much fun to be had on most sail aways at the aft bar with the DJ playing songs to get people in the cruise mood. have a blast. http://luv2cruise.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerman52 Posted April 7, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Usually the Lido deck, however on our June 2 cruise we are going to try the secret area on the Panorama deck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccer Posted April 7, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Lido balcony is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askimdog Posted April 7, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2013 When we cruise it is during football season. Since sail-away is Sunday I am usually in the Sports Lounge watching a game with my carry-on bottle of wine "popped" in front of me. My wife and daughter they wander all over but the Lido. None of us 3 like the loud people, crowds and pushy bartenders of the Lido deck and tend to avoid it all week. Usually my girls find a quieter deck railing somewhere. like the upper jogging track.

beachbum53 Posted April 7, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We usually meet up with roll call group at the Aft bar, and then head up on top deck fr Sail Away! 35 DAYS! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD This is basically what we have planned. Between our roll call and our FB group, we'll have a pretty large group of people getting together for a Meet & Greet after the muster drill. We're all meeting in the Aft pool area. There's a bar there for those that want to get a cocktail, and it will be less crowded than the main pool area. I'm guessing the Victory's layout is similar to the Liberty.
