Hello! My husband and I just completed the 7 day cruise on Carnival Victory Sunday, July 5th. I specifically picked this ship for it's itinerary; stopping at 6 islands in 7 days: St. Thomas, Barbados, Dominica; St. Lucia, Antigua, and St. Kitts. If you count San Juan we actually visited 7 islands.
While we are exhausted, we loved the cruise and the ship and have nothing but praise for our cabin steward Noel and dining room head server Victoria and Budi. In fact, one morning as I had gone for coffee and had my hands full, one of the maintenance staff saw me, stopped what he was doing and literally ran over to open the door for me. He did not have to do that but it was appreciated. I wish I had gotten his name.
Our cabin was on deck 10 - 1038. The only issue that we had was that the kids club was directly over our cabin and it sounded like the ceiling was going to fall in at night! Fortunately the noise did die down around midnight. Also, our first cruise with Carnival was on the Miracle and our room was a bit larger than Victory; but beyond that the room was comfortable, clean, and the beds are great. It is tempting to buy their sleep system!
