Leo Jay Posted September 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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!

bonniemari Posted September 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2008 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.

letsgocruz1 Posted September 20, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to keep them cold! 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;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel123 Posted September 20, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2008 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainChemicals Posted September 21, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoneGoddess Posted September 21, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 21, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted September 21, 2008 #16 Share Posted September 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
