The crew on the Victory once again provided us with a wonderful vacation! From the room stewards to the dining room staff, all the way to the Captain, everyone was great.

Food and Dining

Grand Buffet

5 out of 5

The food was better than it was when we sailed last November. The main problem then was it was just warm and not hot.

Black And Red Seas Lounge

5 out of 5

We always enjoy karaoke here. Although there was a group of loud drunks on the last night that made it hard to hear/enjoy the singing.

Atlantic Dining Room

The food was good and the wait staff was amazing!

Service and Staff

Josie, our room steward, was always friendly and kept our cabin in top shape. Juan, our head waiter, we above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was the best it could be!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

She is showing a little wear here and there, but she is going in for an extensive dry dock shortly. That being said, the crew again kept everything very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our suite was amazing! I wish I could say we would stay in a suite every time, but the reason we had one this time was we just found an fantastic deal. There is usually 3 adults traveling when we cruise so the extra space was very much appreciated. I hope we can adjust to a normal sized cabin on our next cruise.

Ship tip

If you eat in the Atlantic Dining Room be sure to ask for Juan, he is an outstanding waiter.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5

We rented a golf cart from Sunshine Scooters and toured the town on our own. That was definitely the best way to get around. Key West was pretty but other than shop or eat there's not a lot to do with the amount of time you have in port.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

We rented a car through Expedia from Alamo. The rates were extremely reasonable, total cost was about $30.00 plus gas. Ivan with Alamo was very helpful and recommended a great restaurant on the coast, Playa Punta Morena. There's just so much to do and see in Cozumel it's hard to get a lot done in one day. Can't wait to go back again next year!
