Kudos to Carnival Victory 7/28/07 sailing.
Below is a summary of the 7/28/2007 Canada sailing of the Carnival Victory. This was our first Carnival cruise (others on HAL and RCCL). We had a balcony stateroom 2nd forward from the stern cabins on the starboard side, eighth deck (immediately below the Lido deck Mississippi BBQ tables). The summary does focus on topics others have raised as issues for this ship in early July 2007 posts and bounces this trip off the trip last year on HAL to Alaska.
Our goal for this trip was to get away from work and not schedule anything It also had to fit into a time slot during which we had sudden slack time at work (leaving with in 3 weeks), be less than one full week, and be reasonably priced for either an ocean-view or balcony cabin. To fit the other parameters, the trip origin had to be from a Northeast or Mid-Atlantic port. We are a mid-fifties couple traveling alone. Dancing is our hobby.
