My family and I just got back from a cruise on the Carnival Victory ship and we had a fantastic time! The staff, especially our room steward, were wonderful. They were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The ship, while older, was very nice. The lobby and dining room were beautiful.
My husband and I found the food to be good. There were about 8 options available in the nice dining room each night and while they may not have been entirely gourmet each time, the food was hot and offered in right sized portions. Of course, you could always order more, but I felt the sizes were appropriate. Kids had the option to order of the children's or adult menus, which was nice as our 9 year old could then try some different meals. They especially loved trying the chilled strawberry soup and pumpkin soup as appetizers.
We sailed to Jamaica and the Grand Caymans. We climbed the Dunns Falls in Jamaica. It is a little intimidating at first, but all in all was a really cool experience. Jamaica, while beautiful, didn't seem like the type of place you would want to explore on its own and the people were very pushy when it came to tips. We did the Paradise Beach Club along with the falls and the beach did have some nice sand for the kids to play in and we were able to find some neat shells to bring home.
Clean. A little worn...some of the drawers were difficult to get out. For a cruise this was a sizable room and the shower was really nice.
