Carnival Victory is a Destiny Class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Lines. She was launched in 2000. Some of her features include a nine-story atrium, four pools, numerous dining options, various entertainment options, a casino, and a spa. It is structurally identical to its sister ship, Carnival Triumph, and differs from its class's lead ship, Carnival Destiny, by the addition of extra balcony cabins on the Lido deck and various changes to placement and shapes of its public areas. Carnival Victory is themed to depict the different oceans and seas of the world. Beginning November 2008, Carnival Victory will be transferred to San Juan to offer 7-day Southern Caribbean cruises visiting St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, and Antigua. In late 2007, Carnival Victory underwent a refit which included the installation of Carnival's Seaside Theater for the midship pool.
