CARNIVALCRUISE3

How exciting! Have a great time! You will love the Victory! It's a beautiful ship!

60 days since my last cruise aboard the Carnival Vista, and 37 days until I sail aboard the Vista once again!

I sailed with Orlando twice when he was aboard the Breeze. I liked him more than the actual CDs that were on both of the Breeze sailings Matt and Mike. So glad that he is a CD now. I sailed the Valor a few times many years ago when it used to sail out of Miami. I always have the chocolate melting cake every night too. I sailed aboard the Vista in April, and the $5 per day social media plan worked well except for 2 days which was really slow.

Looking forward to reading your review. I have sailed on the Victory five times since I live 30 minutes away from the Port of Miami. This ship is so well maintained. I first sailed on it in 2004, then 10 years later it looked as new as it did when I first sailed on it.

I've been on a bunch of solo cruises and I always seem to find the cheapest of prices, now i can't find nothing close to what i use to pay... ( $500 - 800 ) per 7 night carribean cruise with carnival or norwegian and I always travel solo....

 

 

 

Anyone outthere help me with some deals? Everything is above 1 stack..... its incredible lmao:'):'):')

I know! I love 30 minutes away from The Port of Miami, and they used to have amazing deals! I have sailed solo 6 times out of my 29 cruises, and I would always find great deals when I sailed by myself. Make sure to sail on the 4 day aboard the Victory the week before Christmas. They always have great deals at that time, but you must book it 2 months in advance because the last month the price really increased.

I like Marcelo (aka Marshmellow). We had him on the Magic about 5 years ago and he was great with the kids and really presented a family-friendly face rather than the I'm young, hip, and want to party persona (I'm looking at you Jase Apps). I know people react to each CD based on how they want their experience to be, but I liked Marcelo. I also liked Steve Cassel on our first cruise on the Ecstasy back in 2009, he was a real goofball so I could relate to him easily.

 

I'm not knocking the "party persona" CDs, that's just no my cup of tea, though they really seem to be popular with passengers. When we had Jase on the Freedom in 2015, I noticed that his energy seemed to be contagious with the people I saw him interacting with, I just personally didn't care for the guy.

My favorite CDs are Marcelo and Steve Cassel who are real, truly talented, and are there to entertain the guests. Most CDs now are there to promote themselves, instead of focusing on entertaining the guests.

Anyone have experience with Marcelo Alverado? Have him on the Fascination out of PR.

Yes, Marcelo is the best! He's super funny and amazing! We have sailed with him three times, and he's our favorite.

What a great surprise! Carnival is very honest. I sailed aboard the Vista last month, and called two days before to let them know that my nephew wasn't going. I knew that I was going to lose all the money except for the taxes and port charges. The representative told me not to cancel because they would have to charge me a $250 cancelation fee to let him be a no show. Another time my nephew was playing at the basketball court, and they closed it at 5:30 pm in order to open up the Italian restaurant which is below the court. He left his ipod at the court. We went to guest services within five minutes of leaving the court, and the crew member that closed the court had turned it in. They're so honest and amazing.

I'm sailing the week after you on July 23rd. You're going to love the Vista. I was aboard two weeks ago for spring break. It is such a beautiful ship, and 8 days wasn't long enough to explore this amazing ship!

I was aboard the Vista last week. Bar service was quick. There wasn't a wait at all. Also while I was on the lounge chairs there were a lot of bartenders going around asking who would like drinks. I had assigned dining, and we were always out of the dining room within an hour and on formal night an hour and a half.

Thanks so much for your review! So glad that you had a great time! I will be aboard the Vista in 2 weeks!

Thank you so much for your review. WOW! I'm surprised about the attitude of the waitress at the Italian restaurant. They're usually the most polite staff! We ate there 3 nights out of 6 the 4 times that we sailed on the Breeze. We ate at the Seafood Shack aboard the Victory in December for lunch every day, and the most we waited was 10 minutes for the Lobster Rolls. There was never a line. I don't think many people knew about it since it had only been there a few weeks. I will be sailing aboard the Breeze in April.

Thanks so much for the review! I will be sailing on the Vista in April and in July!

Congratulations on your bookings! I sailed on that ship when it was the Destiny. I'm sailing aboard the Vista in April and July!

I continue to exercise at the gym and eat healthy. I always take the stairs. I drink lots of water, don't drink alcohol, or eat any fried foods. However, on a cruise I eat desserts. I eat chocolate covered strawberries, the chocolate melting cake at dinner, vanilla frozen yogurt and the chocolate chip cookies at the specialty coffee shop at lunch time.

Continue your exercise routine and use the stairs all of the time.

I don't like the Playlist Production shows, but on the Splendor in July, they had the best dancers, singers, and performers. They were amazing! All of them had beautiful voices.

I sailed on the Victory in December and the still had the stage production shows which I love.

Thank you the great review!

Great review so far! I can't wait to read the rest! I will be sailing aboard the Vista in April!

Yes, there are so many healthy options on the ships. I love to eat healthy and exercise. I exercise at the gym every day and always take the stairs. I never drink alcohol or eat fried or salty foods, but will have desserts on a cruise(vanilla frozen yogurt, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate melting cake, and the diet desserts that are offered on lido and in the dining room).

All that I drink is water, and will have 1 or 2 Virgin Pina Coladas on a 7 day cruise . I eat an omelette for breakfast, fruits, and whole wheat toast (no butter) For lunch, I will have a whole wheat burrito with chicken, shrimp, and mild sauce, and have the vanilla frozen yogurt for dessert. They have a lot of fish options available as well as grilled chicken every night on the menu in the dining room, and desserts low in sugar.

Thanks so much for the amazing pictures and well written review! I'm loving it! I will be sailing aboard the Vista in April and July!

Thanks so much for your review and beautiful pictures! So glad that all of you had a great time. I sailed aboard the Splendor in July. I also loved Chloe! She's so nice and super funny What a personality!

Thanks so much for your review! I will be sailing aboard the Vista in April and July!

I just booked the 2 day to Nassau out of Miami on September 22.

Thanks so much for the review! So glad that all of you had a great time!
