We cruise often, and this was about our 15th cruise. (I lost count). This is our 4th cruise with Carnival. Our first one was on Inspiration out of Tampa, which we really enjoyed. Our 2nd Carnival cruise was on Imagination out of Miami, which was just okay. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't completely awful either. Our 3rd Carnival cruise was on Paradise out of Tampa, and it was before the ship went through dry dock, and it was absolutely horrible. I won't even go into detail because this review is for Victory. However, Paradise was the ship that made us decide not to cruise with Carnival again for over 3 years. But then came Victory. She had just been through dry dock, and had a lot of new things added. We are so glad that we chose Victory for our vacation, because it was the ship that made us decide that it's okay to cruise with Carnival again. :)

EMBARKATION: Went very smoothly.

CABIN: We had cabin 6432, which is a cabin that has an extended balcony near the aft of the ship. This was the best cabin we've ever had on any cruise ship we've been on, and our stateroom attendant was the best. It was spotless, and we loved the extended balcony. Read more
