What kind of condition is the Victory in?? Year built 2000 ...Hmmm

[Sunsetters]

We like the itinerary out of San Juan, but the Victory seems older than most ships these days. Anyone on it recently that could give a review??

[MrPete]

We went on the Victory in 2007, after having previously been on her in 2000. She looked as great as she did when she was new.

 

And this was before a refurbishment in late 2007.

I have been on a few years ago great conditions

I've sailed on Victory four times, first time in 2004, last time in 2008. In all that time, aside from the usual wear and tear you can expect (e.g., dinged panels in the elevators, worn seat cushions), she's been maintained very well. Her most recent drydock was fall 2007, when they installed the Lido movie screen. She doesn't have a supper club and she doesn't have as many Lido buffet lines as the newer ships, which are the only "down" points to sailing on her in my opinion (and I can live without a supper club). If it weren't for her port-intensive itinerary (I like my sea days), I'd sail her again in an instant.

I am liking the sounds of this! Refurbished in 2007!! That sounds better!! Will be our first cruise, so lots of investigating to do!!!

As stated on the previous posts the the Victory was refurbished during 07' and looks great!!! I sailed during the 08-09 "New Year's Cruise"! I would totally recommended!

Ahhhhh....Victory. The beginning of my cruise addiction.

 

I sailed on her from Norfolk when she was just a baby...only three weeks old.

 

Someday I would like to sail on her again.

Just an FYI. Most ships are refurbished about every 2 years with daily painting and upkeep done in between the reurbishments.

 

These ships cost millions of dollars and they make sure they last a very long time.:)

Have you checked out the Victory reviews on Cruise Critic ??

 

The reviews will reassure you.

 

I sail on her Sept 2009.

I just sailed on her in February and had a wonderful time. Please see my review in my signature for more details. As far as the condition of the ship, I can't complain about anything. Compared to the older ships I've been on (I think she's the newest one we've been on) she looks top-notch! I have yet to experience the supper club, so I can't say if that's a hit or miss.

Sailed the Vicotory in three years in a row.....always considered her a Grand Lady....

I sailed on the Victory on the 22nd of March. It was my first cruise and It was great! I really didnt have much to compare her too though! We want to go back in May and do the same tour....without kids this time!
