mmcruise Posted June 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Ok, stupid question but I am leaving on Victory this Saturday and want to dream about it - which is easy since I can see the port of NY out my office window. I can see 3 ships in port in NY today: there are two Carnival ships which must be the Victory and the Miracle, and a Norwegian ship. Can someone help me identify which is the Victory? One has a "tall" tail, the other tail is shorter and squattier but looks like it's overall a bigger ship. Anybody know these ships and can help me identify so I can dream accordingly? *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Victory has "smooth sides", the Miracle will have two indentations where the lifeboats are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlethepearl Posted June 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2008 The Miracle is the one with a shorter squattier looking smokestack because it is a Spirit Class ship. And the Supper Club is in there. The one with the Taller Smokestack is the Victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted June 10, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2008 The Miracle looks bigger because it is longer (by about 80 feet I believe). However, if you judge by the tonnage, Victory is the bigger ship at appx. 101,000 tons, versus appx. 85,000 for the Miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazd Posted June 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2008 The Victory is larger but the Miracle has shorter smoke stack and has the water slide sticking up in the aft section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
