richbum Posted May 4, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the pix. This will be my first time on Carnival...2 previous cruises on RCCL. Is there anything in particular that I should look for, or is there anything not to miss?:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicruiser Posted May 4, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Nice pics. I'll be sailing her June 14. Im like the tour guide for my family. This will be the first cruise for my parents, brother, and sister in law. I hope I picked a good ship and they will enjoy their first cruise. I don't even think I'll get a day of rest. It's so port intensive, although I've been to all the islands already at least once. Ive been on Destiny and enjoyed it although had mixed reviews.

VABeach Posted May 4, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the pics! All I really remember is her being very Green compared to other ships - and the Red and Black Room. :eek: Nice boat. I can't wait to see what changes they have made. :) Edited May 4, 2009 by VABeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtrips Posted May 4, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Oh, I can't wait till February! A port a day, and a great price, who could ask for more? Does anyone know how they will handle the muster drill, considering we will be sailing the evening of the Super Bowl, we'll get to watch it on the big outdoor screen on the lido deck. My DH will have a fit if they interrupt the Super Bowl for the drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH will have a fit if they interrupt the Super Bowl for the drill. We were on the Victory in February and they postponed muster drill until the next day so as not to interrupt the game. They had the game on the big screen and in the bars. You will have a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alprice Posted May 4, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for starting this thread - I will be on her in 5 months from today!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABeach Posted May 4, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I always wondered why they called it that:confused::D OMG My Eyes Hurt!!! I remember walking into that room the first day we were on the ship exploring.... I think we must have ran out of there as fast as we ran in. My eyes didn't recover all week. I'm sure some people love it, I'm just not one of them. The rest of the ship is really beautiful though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 5, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've asked more than once for someone who had sailed her recently to start one of these threads, but no one had. Two weeks from today, we'll be getting ready for dinner after our day in St Thomas, touring with Papa Bear. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadecruiser Posted May 5, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I will be on her June 14, and I can't wait to see all these places on the ship in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbum Posted May 5, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted May 5, 2009 For all of those sailing soon, please post all sorts of good stuff for us, so we can live vicariously through you until our trips. I love the pictures. I think I am going to need a vacation to recover from this one though. Does anyone have pictures of the rooms? I have only been on RCCL, but I heard that these rooms are bigger.

welldone60 Posted May 5, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Since the ship leaves port a 10 pm, what time can you board? Also what dock does the Victory use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbum Posted May 5, 2009 Author #15 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Since the ship leaves port a 10 pm, what time can you board? Also what dock does the Victory use? This is not from personal experience, but just from what I have read on these boards. The Victory docks at pier 4 (I think) right across from Old San Juan. I am not sure about boarding time, but people have mentioned that that boarded, then got off the ship and did some sightseeing, then reboarded later in the day. Can someone else confirm this? THX!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 5, 2009 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2009 A note to the newbies - there is a ton of info on the San Juan POC board about boarding, how to get to the port, what to do after you arrive and before you sail, what to do with luggage when you disembark but have a late flight, hotels, restaurants, etc. etc. I spent hours researching excursions and learning how to bid on Priceline for my pre & post-cruise hotels. Hours! With this itinerary, there are just so many options and choices to make that planning is time consuming. I also recommend you find the most recent reviews and read what others have done and look at their photos. I just love reading about people's excursions. And seeing pictures of food! :D I have one of the 4G all-the-way-forward cabins that used to be classified as OV. The ones that overlook the forward decks and were reclassified since you can't actually see the ocean, although you have a window. I plan on taking a ton of photos, since they're very difficult to find for this particular cabin (I have one of the end cabins that is HC modified and the beds do NOT convert to a King).
