karma54915 Posted October 19, 2011 #1552 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Getting ready to take my fourth cruise on Victory. Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cruise. My favorite. ~ There doesn't seem to be anyone else going on Dec 26 - New Year's???? Too bad, it's going to be a great trip! :D DS and I will be going the week prior to you - we'll try and not use up all of the fun on the fun ship and save some for you:eek: Have a great cruise!

Relayer Posted October 19, 2011 #1553 Share Posted October 19, 2011 We're almost three years removed from our Victory cruise now. DW and I still rate as our all time favorite cruise. Spent time looking at pics just last night. We had an unbelievably great time! Hope each of you yet to sail have the experience of a life time!

shortstuf1255 Posted October 20, 2011 #1557 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I returned from a trip on the Victory on Oct 2. I think this was the best cruise I have been on. Now I don't know if it was all the ports which I loved or the people from our roll call that I met. It was a great group and a fun cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erby2283 Posted November 7, 2011 #1558 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I know it must have been mentioned somewhere in the previous 78 pages but can someone tell me where the Serenity Area is located on the Victory? I looked at the deck plans on Carnival's website but didn't see anything that said "Serenity". I hoping to snag a chair on our one and only sea day! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted November 7, 2011 #1559 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Can someone tell me where the Serenity Area is located on the Victory?I looked at the deck plans on Carnival's website but didn't see anything that said "Serenity". Look up forward, and up high! Have a look again at those Deck Plans... On the website.. take the deck adjuster thingy up to Decks 12 and 14 (13 doesn't exist due to Bad Luck factors) You're looking for Decks SKY and SUN .

Aplmac Posted November 7, 2011 #1560 Share Posted November 7, 2011 . Some of the forward elevators (near the main lobby) will take you up there -or to within a deck or two. ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erby2283 Posted November 7, 2011 #1561 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Aplmac - I will take your word for it. I went back to Carnival and on Deck 14 it only shows "Skylight" and "Slide Entrance". On Deck 12 it only shows "Club Oz" "Camp Carnival" and "mini golf". Nothing that says serenity. But like I said, I BELIEVE YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendysMom Posted November 16, 2011 #1567 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the pix. This will be my first time on Carnival...2 previous cruises on RCCL. Is there anything in particular that I should look for, or is there anything not to miss?:D If you're disabled, look out for trouble! Carnival is okay - our last 2 cruises have been with them, but after all the changes lately and getting stuck with higher tips just because we didn't want to prepay them 6 months early, we're going back to RCCL and Princess...happily! Seriously though, as long as you don't have a problem you need to have solved and aren't too picky about food, it's an okay line and definitely good value for the money. We've just decided that that little extra is well worth it. We've learned that you get out of a cruise what you put into it - and if you're determined to have a good time and not let little things bug you, then you'll enjoy it. It used to be mainly young folks you'd see on board the "Fun Ships" but now, it's definitely a cross section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CShelly Posted December 1, 2011 #1570 Share Posted December 1, 2011 You guys are going to have a blast on the Victory. As a widow i went solo for the first time this month and had the best vacation I've ever had. So much so that I'm taking my grown children and their SO's on the Victory this May. Several people from my Nov 6 roll call have already booked the Victory a second time as well. Check out all the Victory reviews and you'll be so excited. Here's a link to a list of Victory reviews... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1479869 There are more recent ones as well if you do a search on just Victory in the search box you'll find a ton of info to get you going.

Aplmac Posted December 1, 2011 #1571 Share Posted December 1, 2011 ...after slogging thru the Muster Drill at 9:30 p.m. complete with sleepy kids who want to go to bed! you should get yourself up on a top deck somewhere for Sailaway! We watched Adventure of the Seas pull away a little while before we did.. leaving behind Caribbean Princess at her berth, presumably to follow a half-hour or so behind us? .

CShelly Posted December 1, 2011 #1572 Share Posted December 1, 2011 WARNING! Looking at Aplmac's pictures of the Victory is hazardous to your productivity! You won't want to do anything but read reviews and stare at his pictures for months! Ask me how I know! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way the bridge team could have successfully docked Victory at St.Thomas without the close supervision of this guy -and his several assistants at lower levels ;) .

Thanks for staying active. :D We did a New England/Canada cruise on GLORYback in mid-October. :) Caught the last cruise for the year out of Manhattan... ..under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.. from Oct. 8th - 15th. very different from the usual sunshine Caribbean thing, of course. If you're a regular on Cruisecritic's Photo Gallery at http://pictures.cruisecritic.com/index.php then you've seen those cruise pics by now. I don't post so much these days on the message boards but I'm still here! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
