Victory

[Cruisin 4 Ever]

I am considering booking a cruise on this ship but there are alot of negative comments about it in the reviews. One poster said they are in teh current process of renovating all the rooms prior to dry dock. Does anyone know if this is true?

I can't speak specially about the Victory, but we just returned from the Sunshine. It has lots of negative reviews. I can tell you, we had a GREAT time and would book this ship again in a minute. We have been on the Victory in the past. There may be signs of wear, but the ship is great overall.

I love the Victory! I will never forget the wow factor when you enter the ship! I have not experienced anything quite like it on another cruise. The atrium is awesome! The ship is a bit smaller than the Conquest class, but it still has most of the bells and whistles. If the Victory returns to a port near me, I will definitely sail on her again.

I was on the sunshine when it was the destiny just a couple of weeks before the major overhaul. Our room was beautiful and fully redone. The only problem was the thrusters weren't working properly for the last several cruises and we didn't make it to any of our scheduled ports:(

We sailed in the Victory a couple of years ago when she did the southern route. Had a great cruise. Just wAtch out for the biting seahorses.

We sailed on the Victory in March and I loved it! It does not have any 2.0 upgrades but it was still a fantastic ship.

We sailed the Victory over Memorial Day weekend this year. We booked last minute and we're skeptical. We had a great time and would cruise this ship again. I say do it!

Hi we are just back from the Victory we sailed on July 3rd 2014. we had a great time!!! it is what you make of it.

the balcony room we had was great, nice and clean. The food was awesome!

They had a little 4 person band playing just outside the casino and they were fantastic.

I just sailed on the Victory about a week ago and I must admit I was a little disappointed. Dont get me wrong, my family and I still had a ball but we were a little underwhelmed with the cabins.

 

We booked 2 cabins. A balcony for the hubby and I and a Interior across the hall for the kids. The furniture in our room was extremely worn. Most of it had dings all over and pieces chipped or just missing. The balcony curtain had small holes all over it so whenever it would get dark you would get the effect of a light show in the room due to some light coming in through the holes in the curtain. The AC in our cabin didnt work the 1st 2 nights, they eventually fixed it on the 3rd day. We just slept on the balcony the 1st two days to have a nice cool nights sleep. The soap / shampoo dispenser attached to the bathroom wall was hanging slightly and missing the push button knob on the shampoo side.

 

The activities were great and we enjoyed ourselves anyway......it was just the cabin that was a little disappointing. Hopefully they will upgrade the rooms soon as we would definitely like to give it anther try.

Great to read this thread! I just booked a Feb 2015 cruise for my wife's 35th birthday and got a great deal on an interior room on the secret deck so it has windows!

 

When is she due to go into dry dock?

[PARTYCOUPLE21]

She will be going into dry docks March. Coming out first week in April!!

We loved the Victory also.

 

Does anyone know what upgrades Victory will get during the dry dock?

Oh, so they pushed this upgrade back yet again? Originally slated for 2013, now 2015!?!

we just got off the victory yesterday. we had a wonderful time. it was our 5th carnival cruise. we had an interior room on veranda deck. the a/c worked great in our room. our room steward was terrific. only had lines on lido (at main meal times) and during the tender process at half moon cay. we ate in the MDR all five nights. our wait staff wasn't the best but it didn't mess with our cruise. you'll have a great time on the victory.
