Aratski Posted March 14, 2017 #176 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm so excited for the updates!! We just booked our 2nd cruise, this one over our 25th anniversary. Our first cruise was on the Breeze....so I am excited the Victory's cabins were recently renovated, they'll look like the Breeze! We splurged and got the premium vista aft balcony!! I'm super excited to see how the aft is since we were forward on the last one!! I can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea_Legs38 Posted March 14, 2017 #177 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Do not stay on the eighth floor if you have not booked your room yet. I noticed while staying on the eighth floor lots of noise coming from the ninth floor from chairs & foot traffic from the restaurant above. I would suggest booking 7, 9, or 10th. Also the safes require a credit card or drivers license in order to use them. My girlfriend and I used a gift card from a legal seafood to access it each day. You are not allowed to use your room key. Our mattress was replaced but I am unaware if all remodeled rooms receive the same. The plugs are by the mirror along the wall not near the beds. Each room has a refrigerator, all rooms are done including the ninth deck. I am on unaware if the sofas turns into a bed we didn't check. While eating on the ninth deck, we found plenty of seating outside by the oyster bar and pool. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trew Posted March 14, 2017 #178 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Has anyone stayed in the handicap room 1004 or 1002? Will they be updating these rooms also? Still debating on the Victory next January. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E@syPe@zy Posted March 14, 2017 #179 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks for the info. Sea_Legs! I'm hoping someone can answer the question about the sofas. On the Carnival booking site, it says they will bring in a trundle bed if there is a 3rd person. I can't imagine "where" you would put a trundle bed!?!

willsamsmom Posted March 15, 2017 #180 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the info. Sea_Legs!I'm hoping someone can answer the question about the sofas. On the Carnival booking site, it says they will bring in a trundle bed if there is a 3rd person. I can't imagine "where" you would put a trundle bed!?! We had a trundle bed for my 5 year old grandson on the Fantasy. We had zero room to walk. I would tip it against the wall when he was not sleeping in it. I cannot imagine anyone other than a child sleeping on one. He will have one again in August because he is still little. This is August 2016. You can see the foot of our bed at the bottom right corner of this pic. Edited March 15, 2017 by willsamsmom Added photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinWin Posted March 19, 2017 #191 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks for answering, Sea Legs. My granddaughter's cruise on Victory is tomorrow. She was hoping it would be a cruise director she liked from a previous Carnival cruise. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr305 Posted March 22, 2017 #193 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I just did the online checking tonight for our 4/10 cruise, got a boarding time of 11-11:30. Hopefully they stick to that time and I won't get the dreaded letter days before we cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MischaH123 Posted April 8, 2017 #196 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I got my reminder to check-in online yesterday, for our 4/10 Victory cruise. I don't know how the delayed boarding email looks. This is the email I received. Is there something they send out closer to departure (I am 35 hours from boarding): " April 6, 2017 Dear Carnival Victory Guest, Your cruise is right around the corner and we want to provide you with important information to help expedite your embarkation process. If you haven't already done so, please visit us at www.carnival.com/Onlinecheckin to select your check in window and complete your Online Check-In. A check-in time will automatically be assigned to guests who do not pre-select a window. Cruise terminal doors will open at 10:30 AM for all guests. Please plan to arrive at the cruise terminal within the check-in window you selected online, unless you are Priority or have purchased Faster to the Fun, then, you may come at any time after 10:30 AM. You will need your printed boarding pass, picture ID and citizenship documents to enter the terminal. If you plan on opening an onboard cash account, please do so at time of check-in. Boarding for all guests is scheduled for 12:30 PM. You may access your stateroom at 1:30 PM.

While you wait for your stateroom to be ready, please proceed to Lido Deck and grab a bite to eat or feel free to get acquainted with our public areas. Our housekeeping team will work to get your checked luggage to you as soon as possible. However, keep in mind that given the volume, this may take us several hours to complete.

MarathonMama629 Posted April 10, 2017 #197 Share Posted April 10, 2017 We got the delay boarding email for our March 20 cruise so we came 2 hours late as asked. We were some of the last people to board! Next time I'm just going at the regular time no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToSeaTheWorld Posted April 11, 2017 #198 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I was on the 4/3 sailing on Victory, and there was no delayed boarding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsnutz Posted April 11, 2017 #199 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Onboard right now and had no delay. Got the controversial FTTF and must say for us it was well worth it getting onboard. The line swellled at the Embark A area. They called for FTTF, but for us to go the empty Embark B area...bam onboard, straight to the room to drop luggage and off to lido for drinks and lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
