matymil Posted September 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2018 If Carnival ever decides to refit another ship, do you think the Victory would be the right choice? If not which ship and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2018 If you’re talking about the sunshine, sunrise deal...it makes sense that the next one would be victory as Sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted September 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think it will be Victory because earlier this year at a D&P party I was told by a senior officer that Triumph was getting a major update in 2019 and Victory was getting one in 2020. He was right about Triumph so no reason to believe he isn’t right about Victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted September 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2018 If the Victory does get the sunshine treatment, i have a good feeling that ship, whatever the new name will be called will be sailing out of NYC in 2020 similar to the Sunrise cruises in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted September 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Victory should be put out to retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted September 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yes. It’s has been said Victory is next. They had great success with Sunshine and I am sure Sunrise will be the same. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I am curious to see how Sunrise is received. Sunshine has a lot of great features like an awesome Serenity area and Havana area that won’t be on Sunrise. I will try any ship at least once, but I have a feeling Sunrise will not be nearly as nice Sunshine. But I also have friends who don’t like Sunshine, so maybe they will like Sunrise better.

PhillyFan33579 Posted September 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Victory should be put out to retirement. Why should Victory be put out to retirement? I have already cruised on Victory 3 times this year and had a great time every cruise. It is definitely one of my favorite Carnival ships. I would rather cruise on Victory instead of Vista any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted September 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2018 It's no secret that Victory is scheduled for a dry dock: 3/09/20-4/30/20. That hasn't been reported 50 times yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Havana area, just a Havana Bar. Only Vista and Horizon have the dedicated Havana areas with the exclusive pool and deck access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point but Sunshine still has a nice Havana area to include the bar even though it doesn’t have Havana cabins, pool, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this page: https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1577/related/1 it says Maintenance Schedule Dry Dock: 3/09/20-4/30/20 that is almost the same drydock schedule as the triumph/sunrise.

kbklcamp Posted September 24, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 24, 2018 We were on the Victory a couple of weeks ago and thought it was very pretty and we’ve recently sailed the Horizon and the Vista. We liked the fancier dining rooms on the Victory, the jewel tones and the coral displays by the ice cream shop.

matymil Posted September 26, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I wonder if they would ever try a refit on one of their fantasy class ships. I know some people like have a soft spot for the older ones but I think it could work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people like have a soft spot for the older ones but I think it could work for them. They have - for example adding balcony cabins to some. Not sure what you are expecting - I doubt they will stretch one, and there are limits what could be added. Fantasy class have already had Evolution of Fun and 2.0 enhancements. Elation had a deck added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted September 26, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The Fantasy class also works for the ports with height issues such as Jacksonville and Tampa (no Fantasy class ship currently in Baltimore, but one could work there as well). Given how few Spirit class ships there are, it’s also difficult to increase capacity at a port like Mobile unless if demand is exceeding supply by a good 44%, as that is the increase in capacity from a Fantasy Class Ship to a Conquest Class Ship. Obviously Carnival felt such an increase at Charleston was justified, so it is not inconceivable. That increase was tapered off somewhat since there is no longer a ship running seasonally in addition to the one based year-round. In Long Beach, Carnival at least would only be staring down a 22% increase in short cruise capacity by replacing one of Imagination or Inspiration with a Conquest class. Carnival could also consolidate capacity by putting larger ships in Miami and Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
