kelz66 Posted January 14, 2009 #301 Share Posted January 14, 2009 ok, here's my next question ;-) I have read that some of the decks you can't walk from one end to the other, you may have to go up one, over, then down. Is this true on the Victory? if so, which decks? information is power.... You can find all the deck layouts of every ship on carnival dot com. I know that the deck with the dinning rooms is one that you can not go from one end to the other, due to the rooms encompassing the width of the ship and the galley being between them.

Aplmac Posted January 14, 2009 #302 Share Posted January 14, 2009 OK let's see now... Cutie in the stern pool on Lido deck. and then there was this Bongo-drumming guy dockside at Dominica with a dancing dude helping him attract donations We walked around Roseau a bit.. although it was Dominica's Independence Day and many shops were shut tight...oh well.. .

Cigar Dude Posted January 14, 2009 #303 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes, "baby doll" pics are acceptable! :D I'll bet he's out taking more right now! ;) (beach pics, I mean) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted January 15, 2009 #304 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It can be pleasant around the stern pool, some cruises.. The kids tend to occupy the midships pool area if only because the waterslide is in that area -leaving the stern pool(near the Pizza) to the older folk with more mature taste. So if you want to sun your bunz tastefully like this beautiful lady don't do it amidships - go Aft Ladies Hope this helps y'all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melodi1963 Posted January 15, 2009 #306 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We're doing this cruise in March (59 days wo hoo!) I can't wait, and the only night I care to eat in the dinning room is the night of prime rib and lobster. (I get both) The rest of the time I think we'll just eat at the Buffets. Fancy food doesn't do a whole lot for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relayer Posted January 15, 2009 #308 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Another great photo....especially when the lows here tonight in NC are going down to 10! APLMAC...you had rated The Crane at a 10.5. How would you rate Bottom Bay? We have alread started looking for land vacations in Barbados in the future. So many wonderful things to see and experience!

Aplmac Posted January 15, 2009 #309 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Another great photo....especially when the lows here tonight in NC are going down to 10! ===> Keep warm! APLMAC...you had rated The Crane at a 10.5. How would you rate Bottom Bay? For sheer beauty I'd give it an 11 outa 10,but considering that there are zero amenities there,.. maybe somewhere between 10 and 10.5 realistically? You'll find NO bar, chairs, umbrellas, drinks, snacks. You take with you what you need -that's IT. And it's down a narrow, rough-ish road but oh man is it ever cute at the end of that road. :) You may notice my pics are taken from up high, on top the cliffs at coconut-tree level so you may want to do similar, before you make your way down the steps to the beach 35 ft. below the cliff-tops.

Cigar Dude Posted January 16, 2009 #310 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sounds like the worse beach in Barbados is GREAT! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted January 16, 2009 #311 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sounds like the "worst" beach in Barbados is GREAT! :D ...but it's kinda far out there, an hour by taxi to get there(hopefully he knows the parish of St.Philip well enough to find it -the road is signposted). Pay him when he comes back for you because if you get left there you'll be hard pressed to find a taxi -it's out in the sticks!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted January 18, 2009 #313 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Bumping this back to the front page for other's to enjoy! That four letter word ...that first word of yours, is a big no-no. I've already been 'told off' for burping things up to the top(albeit to help someone) and received a permanent warning on my User Control Panel so be careful. Find something to say but don't mention the b-word, okay? And here's Roseau Dominica in the evening just before sailaway on Carnival Destiny - 4th.

Aplmac Posted January 18, 2009 #314 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Gotta rise early to get shots like this one of our approach into Charlotte Amalie, St.Thomas, USVI We're still off the coastline aways, as you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinJazz Posted January 18, 2009 #315 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know! Do you remember what time the Muster Drill is held since the ship leaves port at 10pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted January 18, 2009 #316 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Do you remember what time the Muster Drill is held since the ship leaves port at 10pm? Just had a look at the time info on the series of 4 or 5 shots I took and it seems it's around 9:45 when I was taking those pics during the assembling/goofing-around stage of the whole deal! I seem to remember that by the time it was done(10? 10:10?) we went back upstairs to put the Orange Horrors away and we were already moving.. so I just went out on the balcony and took pics(not like me, I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinsama Posted January 19, 2009 #317 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I copied this out of some thread a while ago for my own tip sheet "The ship's layout was confusing due to the two-story main dining rooms which prohibited you from walking fore-and-aft on those decks. Decks 5 and 9 are your friends. You can get just about anywhere from either deck." we don't sail til July, so I can't vouch for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decks 5 and 9 are your friends. You can get just about anywhere from either deck." I wouldn't sweat it, if I were you.It takes time to get accustomed to anything new. Before you cruise you should consult deck plans of your ship/any ship/every ship. Knowledge beforehand is marvellous stuff, really! ;) You'll find these useful things on board.. - they'll get you up and down, but not across decks.. (don't laugh...there are silly people who ask about 'elevators' that somehow do the walking for you!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
