As a frequent cruiser (14..all on Carnival) this by far was the worst. Let's start with my biggest problem....service!!! It was plain awful the entire dining staff made it seems as we were "bothering" them. It took us 45 minutes from the time we ordered our dinner just to get the appetizers. Guests seated after our table received their meals before us, the first night I overlooked it due to excitement of being on the Victory for the first time. My friends and I cruise every year, mind you we flew from New Orleans to Miami just to sail a different Carnival ship.
Oh but we were mistaken when we thought this was going to be a great trip. For breakfast the dining staff got our orders wrong, and when asked to correct it they proceeded to ask us before I go back to the galley do anyone else need anything, with an attitude. Did I miss the memo, when did you getting orders wrong turn into to us being treated rudely. Wow!!
Next complaint was the music on the Lido deck, it was not versatile, mostly latin music, it would have been nice to enjoy hanging out on the Lido deck and hearing music I could relate to. Don't get me wrong not anything against the music it's just they needed to mix it up. This is the first time I have ever rescinded/modified my gratuities in the 12 years I've been cruising. Thank goodness our cabin attendant was nice and we entertained ourselves otherwise this cruise would have been a bust. So sad for Carnival, definitely won't ever sail on the Victory again! This is only an excerpt of the issues, there is definitely more, but these were the biggest concerns of ours.
Cabin was ok, loved our balcony.
Enjoyed very much and we took the banana boat ride. It was awesome
It was makeshift, nothing about the culture when you get off the ship. Not inviting
