Carnival Victory is the third of the five Template:Sclass-s. Like all members of the Destiny class other than the lead ship, which was refitted and renamed Carnival Sunshine in 2013, she is a modified version of that lead ship, and is therefore sometimes referred to as a Triumph-class cruise ship, in an allusion to the second member of the Destiny class, Carnival Triumph.

Along with Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Triumph, Carnival Victory is operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Fincantieri at its Monfalcone shipyard in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northern Italy, she was christened by Mary Frank,[9] wife of Howard Frank, the then Vice-Chairman of Carnival Cruise Line.[10] She boasts more than 500 veranda cabins, a nine-deck atrium with four glass elevators, a three-deck "Caribbean lounge" with seating for 1,500 for Vegas-style shows such as "Livin in America" and "Vroom", and a total capacity of 3,400 passengers and 1,000 crew members.[11]

History

Carnival Victory was launched in 2000 as one of the largest cruise ships at that time.[citation needed] Her sister ship, Carnival Triumph both include an extra deck that differs them from the previously built Carnival Destiny. Carnival Victory sailed out of New York upon launch, and sailed many years out of San Juan, PR. She is currently sailing four- and five-day cruises out of Miami and Port Canaveral, Florida.

Layout

Carnival Victory is themed to depict the different oceans and seas of the world but is structurally identical to her sister ship, Carnival Triumph. The Triumph-class ships are closely related to the earlier Destiny-class, but differ from Carnival Destiny in the addition of extra balcony cabins on their Lido decks and various changes to placement and architecture of public areas. There are three large pools: King of the Seas, Triton, and Sirens, all including whirlpools in the immediate area. There is a 214-foot-long (65 m)[11] "Twister" waterslide that ends next to the "King of the Seas" pool. The "Serenity Adult Only Retreat" is located next to the waterslide entrance. There is a kids' pool near Camp Carnival. The ship's atrium is green from top to bottom and has four glass elevators. There are two main dining rooms, named the Atlantic and the Pacific, and both offer the same menu.

More than half of Carnival Victory's cabins have an ocean view, and 60% of these have a balcony. Twenty-five cabins are wheelchair accessible. Penthouse suites are 345 sq ft (32.1 m2); suites are 275 sq ft (25.5 m2); ocean view cabins are 185 sq ft (17.2 m2); interior cabins are 185 sq ft (17.2 m2).[12]

In late 2007, Carnival Victory underwent a refit which included the installation of Carnival's Seaside Theater for the midship pool, the sushi bar in the South China Sea Club casino, and some other minor changes. Some of her features include a nine-story atrium, four pools, numerous dining options, various entertainment options, a casino, and a spa.[13]

Carnival Victory just underwent Carnival's FunShip 2.0 refurbishment. During dry dock in early 2015 the ship when through maintain touch up's and received a Alchemy Bar, the Seuss at Sea, SKYBOX Sports Bar, and The Taste Bar.

Service

Prior to 2013, Carnival Victory sailed from San Juan, offering seven-day Southern Caribbean cruises visiting San Juan, St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten.

Effective November 21, 2010, Carnival Victory dropped its call to Dominica, with the exception of the December 26th sailings, for the rest of 2010 and through 2012.[14]

Carnival Victory offered sailings to San Juan from Sunday to Sunday and Barbados from Wednesday to Wednesday. Offering seven-day Southern Caribbean cruises, visiting San Juan, St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten.[citation needed] Effective November 21, 2010, Carnival Victory dropped its call to Dominica, with the exception of the December 26th sailings, for the rest of 2010 and through 2012.[citation needed]

In early 2013, Carnival Victory replaced Carnival Destiny in Miami doing four- and five-day cruises. Carnival Valor replaced Carnival Victory in San Juan.[citation needed]

The Carnival Victory is going to replace the Carnival Sensation in Port Canaveral in February 2016. The Victory will be doing the 3 and 4 night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas and Freeport. The Carnival Sensation will be taking over for the Victory in Miami doing the 4 and 5 day cruises.
