Holy Guacamole!
Just coming back from our cruise on the Victory... I've got so much to say about it and it is mostly good/excellent comments.
First of all, I want to insist on one thing:
- Good service is not exclusive to Disney. We have encountered so many helpful/polite/nice people on the Carnival Victory! We are actually shocked that Carnival gets bad reviews.
-We have found the food in the dining room (with the exception of the beef that I did not care for) on the Victory so much better than the dining room food on the Disney Dream. Food from the Lido just as good as Cabanas with the exception of breakfast (DCL still nails breakfast)...
And the food from the counters --pizza, chinese food, sandwiches-- was outstanding!
I will post some pictures soon and plan on adding some details to my first post.
I will give you a realistic review which means I will give you examples of the wear and tear (I believe this is temporary because they are currently refurbishing the ship).
To be continued...
I knew you would like it! I agree with everything you said. Now go try one of their newer ships!!
I would love to.
Not gonna lie: My husband liked Carnival so much that he wants me to cancel our Key West-Cozumel with Royal Caribbean (we have never tried it) and do Key West-Cozumel with Carnival instead!
We'll see. It will depend on the ship we would be sailing on.
They don't have it yet but we have been able to try some bites from the Taste Bar (Blue Iguana and Cucina del capitano) + the Red Frog PYOB. We loved the bites and the beer. Looking forward to try a FUN 2.0 cruiseship!I believe you said the Victory didn't have Guy's or the Blue Iguana's.....your next ship should definitely have those two, as well as the Red Frog pub!
Great pics..reminds me of my trip many years ago. I love their chocolate cake! I normally cruise in March for my Bday and my family always gets me one. They have it vanilla too but haven't tried it yet.\
Did you try their cakes in the coffee shop? Inexpensive, but their strawberry cheesecake is to die for! HUGE piece too, can share between 2-3 people. And my DD likes their black & white shakes..
