Carnival Victory arrived at PortMiami this morning to kick off its new year-round schedule of four- and five-day cruises that visit tropical destinations throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas.
Carnival Victory’s new Miami-based schedule has three distinctly different itineraries. Four-day “long weekend” cruises departing Thursdays call at Key West, Fla., and Cozumel, Mexico; five-day cruises departing Mondays include stops at Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands; the private Bahamian island of Half Moon Cay; and Nassau, The Bahamas; and five-day voyages departing Saturdays feature George Town, Grand Cayman; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
Carnival Victory has a 214-foot-long Twister water slide, supervised activities and play areas for kids in three age groups, as well as a 270-square-foot poolside LED screen showing nightly Dive-In Movies and a range of dancing and entertainment venues, including the Punchliner Comedy Club presented by George Lopez.
Dining options range from two full-service restaurants to a two-level casual eatery, including a New York-style deli, an Asian specialty venue, a 24-hour pizzeria, pasta- and meat-carving stations, and a Taste of the Nations area offering a different international cuisine each day. Additionally, 60 percent of the ship’s 1,379 staterooms offer either an ocean view or private balcony.
Carnival Victory replaces Carnival Destiny which departs PortMiami on an 18-day trans-Atlantic crossing that will end in Venice, Italy, on Feb. 22, positioning the vessel for a $155 million renovation. Carnival Destiny will emerge from the 49-day dry dock with a new name – Carnival Sunshine – along with a host of dining, bar and entertainment innovations that are part of the line’s Fun Ship 2.0 enhancement initiative.
Reservations are currently being accepted for Carnival Victory’s four- and five-day cruises from Miami.
