We just returned from our family vacation on the Carnival Victory today. I would have to say that this vacation was a complete success and everyone in my family of four was happy. We had fun! This was our objective and Carnival certainly made every effort to ensure that it was met.
The ship was quite beautiful, very large, and immaculately maintained. There were three very nice swimming pools and five hot-tubs. There was always room to find a deck chair. I really liked the fact that you had the option of sitting in a loud, noisy area or on a quiet deck away from the band.
The service could not have been better. We loved our waitress Daniela in the Atlantic Dining Room. The children were happy with eating hamburgers, fries, chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. I found the staff to be very kid-friendly. I felt like they liked my children, not like my children were a nuisance.
