Anyone else find Victory COLD?!?

[Leo Jay]

Just got off the Victory sailing to NE/Canada, and boy was that ship cold! Not sure why they had the A/C cranked so high, but I was wearing a jacket for embarkation and felt a chill as soon as I stepped on board.

 

My cabin steward tended to crank the air in my room whenever he cleaned it too! :eek:

 

The weather in Canada was in the low 60's so it was a chilly experience overall. Be sure to pack a sweater/pullover/sweatshirt!

:D

I recall Victory being freezing both times we were on her in the Caribbean too... in fact, I can't think of a single Carnival ship we were on that wasn't freezing. They tend to keep them cold!

I've yet to go on a cruiseship that was not freezing cold in the public areas.

 

The dining room, show lounges and casino/promenade deck are always freezing to me.

 

I don't care where or when I cruise-I always take a sweater.

I have no experience w/the Victory but last Oct on the Triumph I froze the entire time I was onboard. The theatre was so cold at night that I packed socks in with me to slip on my feet, and used a throw blanket to cover up with. I swear I could almost see my breath. That's the coldest cruise ship I have been on to date.

Yes they do seem to keep all the ships cold :eek:

that's so you are tempted to buy the Carnival Logo sweatshirts and jackets that they sell in the gift shop;)

[steel123]

I totally agree! I was freezing the entire time I was on the Victory when we sailed her in August. I never wore my sweater so much before--I was glad I packed it! I was also a little cold on the Triumph. All my other cruises were fine. :)

I am way ahead of them, I also always pack my Carnival sweatshirt.

 

You can find me late night/early a.m. in the casino dressed in my Carnival sweatshirt and sweatpants. May not be pretty but at least I am comfy and warm.

Yep, last Feb in the Caribbean the Victory was the first time that I had ever been truly cold in the dining room on a cruise ship. Had to take my heavy sweater with me every evening. Our cabin was cold too until we asked our room steward how to turn the air conditioning down and then we were just fine!:)

Welcome to Canada:rolleyes: , that is mild compared to what it gets like here! Try -50 C or F doesn't matter either way when it gets that cold(LOL)

I was told by the First Officer of the Caronia that cruise ships have rigorous protocols and procedures in place to manage and eradicate transmission of norovirus, including keeping the inside temperatures ice cold.

 

I do know they keep hospitals ice cold to prevent the transmission and growth of various viruses and the like.

I thought they purposely set each ship that way because they didn't want to deal with me when I had hot flashes! :rolleyes:

Hmm, guess that makes sense. Just never experienced any other ship to be that cold.

Yes, it's called fall/autumn in these parts... plus we had a crappy, rainy summer so it has very rarely climbed over 80 this year.

Yes' date=' it's called fall/autumn in these parts... plus we had a crappy, rainy summer so it has very rarely climbed over 80 this year.[/quote']Yeah, wasn't that cold last time I was up there this time of year.

[PhoneGoddess]

The Victory was the coldest ship that I have ever been on! I've sailed to Canada twice before and was never that cold. It was so ice cold in the dining room that I couldn't wait to finish my meal and leave!

[LHP]

Yes, I too remember the Victory being a little colder than other ships.

 

But I just figured it was because we were cruising Canada at the end of September.

 

I will say that even though the exterior temps dipped in St John...it was HOT in Halifax. I never figured that out. Our son still enjoyed the slide...although he made everyone COLD just watching him.
