ragen Posted November 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) I was on the Carnival Victory's Oct 23 2016 sailing, and when I got on board I saw that they had just added: Seafood Shack,... it is in the solarium pool area (aft pool near the Pizza Pirate) it is an up-charge food option with good Fish and Chips, Fresh Shrimp & More, Prices for most meals was $6-$8 bucks, but food meal sizes were large and worth the money. . Also Found in the Same aft pool Solarium area, They have added a self serve Thirsty Frog Red Beer Vending machine! (It offers solo cup 14oz beers, for $4.48) or you can fill any container size you wish for 32cents per oz. This was a good option, Because it didn't charge you the 18% gratuity you have at the Sports bar or Atrium bar for the same Thirsty Frog Beer. . (also why is it that if you buy Thirsty Frog in the atrium it is $5.85 Plus Gratuity for 16oz, But in the sports bar it is the same $5.85 Plus Gratuity yet you get 19oz???) . Anyway just thought I'd share this info because I never saw it mentioned by anyone else. Edited November 2, 2016 by ragen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddcan Posted November 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the information! Can you tell me a little more about the Seafood Shack? Does it have dedicated seating, or is it just a counter? I'm trying to figure out if it's on it's own, or just part of the overall pool deck. It sounds like something we'd like to try out if there is decent seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshower9 Posted November 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the info. I saw that Seafood Shack was listed as "Coming Soon" to Victory on the Carnival website, but they didn't say when. Good to know that's it's already there.

ragen Posted November 2, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Yes it has Clams, Oysters, Shrimp, Crab Legs, Lobster, Fish,Calamari,& More..... Plus typical sides such as frys, & Cole Slaw, Hush Puppys etc. Not really it's own Seating exactly, It's a counter, However there are about 12 4-top tables and booths right there beside it overlooking the Seas. So I guess you could say it has it's own seating area, but you still gotta order at the counter, however,... they will deliver it to you're table. Some things are sold by the dish, others by the pound. It is in the adult covered aft pool deck area, not out on the main pool deck. When I saw it upon boarding on the 23'rd they told me it was they're first day, and first hour open, it was just added that day.

PattBenatar Posted November 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 2, 2016 So sad, I wish they had it in December, I would have had seafood 9 days straight. I love seafood. Not a big beer fan, but it sounds interesting for tastings. Can pour like one ounce for tastings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted November 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Regarding the Seafood Shack menu, if you search for recent threads regarding Seafood Shack or Seafood Corner you'll find some photos of the menu, which is apparently the same at both places. It's called "Seafood Corner" on Conquest but the layout and location sounds the same as described on Victory. Nice to see Victory getting something new to eat. The one drawback to that ship -- aside from the "biting sea-horses" and the amorous mermaids in the MDR :D -- is its lack of places to eat.

Hbh86 Posted November 18, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I thought they are dry docking and adding guys along with the 2.0 upgrades before the Florida sailing that were switched for the valor. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted November 18, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) The only thing GoCCL has confirmed for the Liberty dry dock besides maintenance is renovation of the crew area. Valor just got the 2.0 upgrades in its recent dry dock. Edited November 18, 2016 by tidecat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, is it pretty easy to pour and not get all foam? I have a terrible time with kegs lol. I usually have to get my son to pour me one so I don't waste all his beer. Maybe I should just practice a lot before my next cruise that has those available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmTree601 Posted January 24, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Here's the Seafood Shack's menu (with prices) directly from Carnival's page, in case anyone had trouble finding it: https://www.carnival.com/~/media/Images/explore/dining/menus/seafood-shack-menu.pdf (I hope a link to a CCL site isn't against the rules in a CCL forum?) As for the PYOB (Pour Your Own Beer) dispensers, I tried one on the Vista -- it does take a little practice to avoid foam, but I suspect that's true of all taps...
