This was our 8th Carnival cruise and 19th over all. We also use RCCL and Celebrity depending on price and itinery.
Carnival Victory is a very nice ship. We upgraded to an Ocean Suite because it was very reasonably priced. The extra space was nice along with the large balcony.
Embarkation was very easy thanks to VIP status which comes with the suite. We were first on board at around 12:15 pm
We enjoyed the large Ocean Suite very much. It is not something that we would normally pay for but this particular sailing had dramatically reduced pricing so we decided to try it. The extra large balcony is nice as is the extra space inside the room. Our area was very quiet
