Thats why we signed on for the miracle but now we are flying anyway b/c it is cheaper to fly to NY than to drive and pay for parking....lol

What cat did you stay in on the Miracle? I'm in one of those aft cabins on the Empress deck and I would love to see a pic or hear about it....haven't had any luck yet tho.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Dawn, we purchased an inside guarantee and we got an inside cabin on the Verandah deck (7286). It had two lowers and two uppers (we had the kids with us). It also had a mini-bar/fridge. The bathroom was surprisingly big and there was a ton of storage space. I may have a pic somewhere of it - if I can find it I'll let you know. We did experience some "motion" but we also had some pretty heavy seas on a couple days. We never did get sick. Hope that helps!

We booked a balcony gty, so were keeping our fingers crossed for a good cabin, although I can't imagine a bad one as long as your cruising. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img] Last night I pulled out the suitcases from the closet, tonite I may even open one, put something in it, and get the feeling its only about 25 days away [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Oh yeah, it is only 25 more days to go [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Marcy Jane-
I haven't written a "formal" review yet, but here's a short version...

...the Victory is beautiful!

It offers as much or as little to keep you busy. We enjoyed the shows Vroom and Living in America. The food was good (but the lobster isn't Maine lobster). We certainly didn't go hungry; there are so many options for meals - the deli, buffets, pizzeria, grill, dining rooms, and room service. Our wait staff and room steward couldn't have been any nicer and accommodating. We don't have anything but praise for the crew and workers that made our vacation out of this world - and being out of the Maine cold and in the warm tropical sun seemed like being out of this world!! The Victory is huge and we were lost a few times so be prepared to backtrack a few steps. We enjoyed the nightlife, losing a few bucks in the Casino, and walking around. If you want to know anything in particular, please email me at [email]lgerrish@adelphia.net[/email] and...
...enjoy your cruise.
Lynn

Hey luvtocruze - we had an 8a gty to start but then got bumped to an 8e right away - I noticed on sunday night that one of the true aft cabins had come available all of a sudden and had my TA scoop it up - this is the first time in an aft but we've heard great things on this board about them so I'm quite psyched [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

a suite is so nice!! We had one on the Fantasy (Cat 12) and felt so spoiled by the room to move around and the balcony was heaven (the Fantasy is one of the ships with very few balconies) You'll love it but it's so hard to go back to a regular room after ;)

Well, I'm not FROM New England, but I'm sailing on the Victory New England Canada route October 2nd. Woo hoo! Time has been passing quickly thankfully, since we booked in February. I think I've done all the research one brain can handle!! BUT if anyone has any "must know" things about the Victory, please pass them along :)

Anyone else on this cruise?
