Aplmac Posted May 16, 2009 #176 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I took this photo in San Juan Harbour, P.Rico looking West from where Carnival Victory was docked next rto the big yellow bldg. It shows the next pier, with a long white contraption. What is that used for? Is it a baggage loading conveyor-belt? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 16, 2009 #177 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm packed! Well, mostly. DD decided she doesn't want to take a carryon. So, two females, 10 days, and we're going with 2 checked bags and 1 carryon. And she's telling me I'm taking too many clothes! Gotta get up before 5, as we have a 7:10 flight to San Juan. Yes, the forecast for all the islands is for a very good chance of rain, but I have my $0.99 rain ponchos packed, so I'm prepared. Will write a thorough review when I'm back (not returning until 5/26, late, and I have to work on Wednesday :( ). I am SO looking forward to this! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted May 16, 2009 #178 Share Posted May 16, 2009 When we stopped thru St.Thomas, we were back to the ship by about lunch time As we sat on the Lido deck near the pool amidships, I took this one... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothdancer Posted May 16, 2009 #179 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Loved that pic AP Does anyone know? I am planiing on booking a guarantee balcony cabin on the Victory. Is there going to be a chance since it is a guarantee with no cabin assignment that I may be given an obstructed view cabin? I really dont care where on the ship my cabin is, but do care if it is obstructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont care where on the ship my cabin is, but do care if it is obstructed. It depends on what category you are purchasing. If inside, then very likely it will be an obstructed view (very obstructed). I don't think there are any ocean view or balcony cabins with an obstructed view. The forward facing cabins do have an obstructed view, but they are cat 4, which is an inside category, and you would expect an inside cabin to be obstructed. The lifeboats are not outside any cabins. So on this ship, if you book an ocean view or balcony cabin guarantee, I don't think you can end up with an obstructed view. Here is a picture of a forward facing cabin ...

Well, now that Carnival knows you are the one who took it, you can expect that they will be contacting you and asking you to return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the Carnival holidays catalogue like I do you can spend some time poring over deck plans for 'your ship' fantasizing about where your next cabin will be!

Thanks so much!! Do to following all of your amazing advice, I have no plans in Barbados other than catching a cab to Rockly Beach and soaking in some pure life enegry. :D You have inspired me!! Thanks. Anything a potentially single girl or possably a couple should know? I read about other posters having trouble getting cabs to take them there.
