Carnival Victory

7 Night Southern Caribbean (San Juan Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 01, 2011

Ship: Carnival Victory

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 13 years ago

Review summary

The ship looked a bit tacky. Our ocean view room was ok but do not understand why we had the last aft cabin on riviera deck even though we booked 3 months in advance. For 1200 we had a cabin that smelled like food and we heard the engine with docking and leaving. Casino staff used to give entertaining games and hosts but hardly said a word now or acknowledge players. Most fun came from our fellow guests and not from the Carnival Victory.
