cruisingcouple2008 Posted July 23, 2009 #626 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You can get $20/per person tours (2-3 hrs) from hundreds of guides just off the ship in Dominica...just walk a few streets away from the pier and haggle a bit. It was easy. Great tour too. quote] Thats what we did in Dominica, just keep walking, the farther you walk, the lower the prices get and we got a wonderful driver named Henry. We are on Feb 7, 2010? I know you have the exact count, but my brain doesnt do those calculations all I know is 197 days til my big vacation starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpmljm Posted July 23, 2009 #627 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This may be a silly question but...Do all the islands where Victory is going (all 6 of them) accept US currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s&m_go_cruisin Posted July 23, 2009 #628 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Aplmac, Thanks for the great pictures! Based on the ship layout, I think these are one forward of the cabin we are in. Did you do these with a fisheye lens? They almost look they are taken from outside the rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadtomolhan Posted July 23, 2009 #629 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yes all the islands accepted us currency. Just make sure you have little bills so you don't get a lot of "Foreign" money back as change unless you want it for souvenors. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Kman Posted July 23, 2009 #630 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This may be a silly question but...Do all the islands where Victory is going (all 6 of them) accept US currency? Yes...they are all very happy to take US currency.;) I never used anything but our beloved dollar. I did have 1 restaurant in Dominica give me back change in their currency, however. I just saved it for show back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpmljm Posted July 25, 2009 #634 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi I just read a review on Carnival Connections of the Victory cruise in June of this year. The poster said that all the entertainment is in Spanish. Is this true? Are all the live shows spanish? If so we will not understand a thing they are saying:eek:. We look forward to going to the shows in the main theater each night and will miss a lot of what's going on if it's all Spanish. Perhaps the poster was meaning that the music was spanish in the bars and clubs.:confused: That we don't care about so much. Thanks!

The entertainment and the shows are performed in English. What happens is that there are also Puerto Ricans who would be on these cruises as well so the announcements are spoken in English and then there are translated for the spanish speaking guests onboard. Another thing is that each night on the cruise carries a different theme so some nights you would get Spanish/Latin music being played. I can tell you this as a fact because I was also on the Victory in June. I hope that this information has helped you on this subject.

Mrsosci Posted July 30, 2009 #640 Share Posted July 30, 2009 This may be a silly question but...Do all the islands where Victory is going (all 6 of them) accept US currency? If you chose to use your credit card for larger items they charge it in Caribbean money and then your credit card company charges you for conversion.

rpmljm Posted August 1, 2009 #645 Share Posted August 1, 2009 This is a dumb question but...for anyone who has flown into San Juan for their cruise...did you put your Carnival luggage tags on before your flight or after? If I do it after then I guess I have to bring a stapler! Someone on another thread said that the airport people rip them off if they are on there. I leave today, any suggestions? Thanks!

I have always put them on after I claim my luggage in San Juan. That way by the time I get to the port I am ready to hand my bags over to the porters :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are ones that have been printed on my printer and do not have any sticky side. I covered them with clear packing tape. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldone60 Posted August 1, 2009 #649 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Go to your local hardware store and buy some small electrical wire ties (aka ty-wraps or zip ties) , puch holes in the ends of your tags and attach with the wire ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
