The Ionian Room has perhaps the
most sophisticated atmosphere of any
of the rooms on the ship. It is
decorated with wood paneling, Greek
vases, and leather armchairs. In the
evenings, a jazz ensemble plays. The
only drawback is the clouds of cigar
smoke that drift around this large
room.
Seventh Sea Bar is located in the central atrium of
the ship. With the Purser's desk and the Tour office
located nearby and the glass elevators ascending
and descending the atrium, there is a great deal of
life to this place. Yet, it is not overly noisy or
crowded. At various times, a pianist or a classical
trio plays behind the bar. It is also used for cruise
staff activities such as trivia and Name That Tune.
The most shock and awe decoration in the ship is in
the Black & Red Seas room with its overpowering red.
Somewhat incongruously, the entertainment in here
was provided by a singer with an acoustic guitar.
Club Arctic is the ship's disco. Very
loud and very popular. It has adults
only hours as well as time set aside
for teens.
The Irish Sea Bar is a piano bar where
patrons can gather around a circular
bench decorated with piano keys and
sing along with the pianist who sits in
the center,
Coral Sea Cafe is a coffee bar where
one can purchase gourmet coffees
and cakes for an extra charge.
The galley on CARNIVAL VICTORY is
larger than the ship's engine room. It
is populated by 120 cooks and 70
galley stewards and provision
staffers. During dinner, one plate per
second leaves the galley to be served.
The Grand Buffet in the Mediterranean Restaurant is decorated
with ice sculptures and creations made of butter and other food
stuffs. A special viewing period is set aside during which
passengers can photograph or just ogle these displays before the
hungry horde devours them. This viewing is quite popular and
can be very crowded.
Carnival Comfort beds can be put
together to form a king-size bed, in
this case, occupied by a towel animal.
