Carnival Victory in the Caribbean

The Carnival Victory is one of the Destiny Class ships that starts with a 9 story atrium right when you enter.

It was launched in 2000 in New York.

You can see it here, along with the Carnival Glory, in St. Maarten.

The Carnival Victory is 893 feet in length and weighs 101,509 tonnes. It holds 2,758 passengers and has 1,379 staterooms, 480 of them with private balconies.

The ship has its various bars and restaurants themed after the oceans and seas of the world, so you might be eating in the Caribbean Lounce or the Atlantic Dining Room or hitting the Indian Library.

The 24 hour pizza is also a hit.

The Victory will be sailing out of San Juan, Puerto Rico and doing 7 day cruises around the Southern Caribbean in late 2008/2009.

Carnival ships are called the “Fun Ships” and here is a video that I think shows that.

Thanks to the Flickr feed with anything tagged “vancouver”, I came across this picture that ttcopley took from the Helijet that shows the Carnival Spirit and the Holland America Ryndam docked.

Tall things

I wonder if you zoomed in close enough you could see me making the Carnival Spirit and Holland America Ryndam videos from this morning.

Carnival Spirit In Vancouver

Here’s the Carnival Spirit docked at Canada Place, about to leave for Alaska.


Carnival went all out with the Spirit. It has themed public areas like Art Deco, Chinese, Gothic, etc.

It has a wedding chapel and while it is in Canadian waters, the captain can beform weddings (including same-sex ones of course).

80% of the 1062 staterooms are outside, and 750 have private balconies.

The Carnival Spirit is 960 feet long and weighs 88,500 tonnes. With that size, it’s got 16 lounges and bars and a 2 level gym that has an ocean view from every piece of equipment. Not bad!
