CRUZFINDER Posted September 7, 2009 #777 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Seriously considering the Victory for our next cruise in mid April to mid May, 2010. An inquiry as to the weather during those months. I believe I read somewhere that it can be quite rainy those months. Any observations from those who have cruised the Southern Caribbean during those months would be appreciated. Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishIwasOutThereNOW Posted September 7, 2009 #778 Share Posted September 7, 2009 This may be a stupid question' date=' but her it goes. Does anyone know what time it gets dark in San Juan? I was there a little over a year ago on an Eastern Caribbean cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale which put us arriving at 5pm. This time we are flying down 2 days before our cruise on the Victory. I have been trying to get a picture of a Carnival Ship at night when its all lit up. The closest I got was in San Juan,however, it started pouring down rain, and I was unable to get my shot. Would like to get a picture before boarding. Thank[/quote'] funny thing about that is that the farther south you go, and the closer too the equator you get, the days and nights become closer to the same length. does that make sence? in other words, on the equator the days and nights are always 12 hours long each. puerto rico is still a long way north of the equator, but that principle is starting to come into play. now, having said all that, i havent helped you in the slightest with your question. just some of that useless trivia i remember from high school that i cant make any money with. tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsosci Posted September 7, 2009 #779 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The ship doesn't sail until 10 so you won't have a problem getting night shot. You have to be on board around 9. I took some pics of lights in town, terminal and Miracle docked next to us. Mrsosci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywench Posted September 7, 2009 #780 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Seriously considering the Victory for our next cruise in mid April to mid May, 2010.

Any observations from those who have cruised the Southern Caribbean during those months would be appreciated. Thanx! I normally prefer to cruise around the beginning of May. I've done Southern Caribbean three times, twice during that time and have never had any weather problems. I did this exact itinerary last May and it has been my favorite cruise so far. I loved it so much that I am doing it again in three weeks. Love having a different port each morning and especially love not having any sea days.

WishIwasOutThereNOW Posted September 7, 2009 #781 Share Posted September 7, 2009 question for you Victory veterans. Sorry if this was covered, but do the deck 9 balcony rooms have refrigerators? need to know whether to bring a cooler or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise40 Posted September 7, 2009 #782 Share Posted September 7, 2009 We just got back today from the 8/30 sailing on the Victory. I will post a review either later this evening or sometime tomorrow. All in all, this cruise was ok. I relaxed and was on vacation, so nothing else mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeqube Posted September 8, 2009 #783 Share Posted September 8, 2009 We're on the Victory on 1/17, we ended up getting 6461 with the wraparound balcony! I was trying to figure out which one it is from pictures, does anyone know if it is the one right where it say "Carnival Victory" across the back of the ship?

I was trying to figure out which one it is from pictures, does anyone know if it is the one right where it say "Carnival Victory" across the back of the ship? The balcony starts where the "Y" in Victory is. You are going to love the balcony...it's awesome. Edited September 8, 2009 by DOTTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an aft on the Glory a few years back and it was awesome. Unfortunately, that was the best part of the cruise because of some issues I had onboard with rude staff people and getting overcharged in the spa. I said I wouldn't sail on Carnival again, But, when I saw this itinerary and the corner aft, combined with the price, I decided to give Carnival another try.

Hopefully on this cruise you won't have any of those problems. We did this same itinerary on the Destiny and had problems with people cutting in lines at the buffet and when we were getting back on the ship. None of these problems when we sailed the Victory. Might of been due to time of year we went. Anyway, have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2PinaColadas Posted September 9, 2009 #794 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I love this thread. My cruise is not until March, so I read through this every now and again to help me pass the days. There seems to be sooooooo much to do. Does anyone have an absolutely must do or must see on this Southern Caribbean itinerary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlsteve Posted September 9, 2009 #795 Share Posted September 9, 2009 luvttrips, We are on the same sailing - 4 couples together and football fans throughout. I was wondering the same thing. Glad you asked. I hope they will postpone the drill for 1 day so we won't get interrupted. Maybe we will see you there. We're on this cruise as well, my wife, I and two friends from ny, but the wife and I are in Ga, Where in Ga are you from? We're from Marietta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted September 9, 2009 #800 Share Posted September 9, 2009 ..do the deck 9 balcony rooms have refrigerators? Ice bucket in your roomand an ice machine just down the hall in case Stewart the cabin steward doesn't refill it fast enough for you -which he does about twice a day- you can self-help yourself to all the ice you need.
