In March 2009 I cruised the Carnival Victory to the Southern Caribbean.  For the most part the cruise was average.  I have been on two other Carnival cruises and in my opinion the food was not as good as previous cruises, plus our server was really bad.  It seemed like Carnival was skimping on the little things such as no longer serving fruit punch in the buffet area, charging for hand brewed cappacino, not from a machine, at breakfast, and charging more for both soft drinks and mixed drinks.  The entertainment was not as good as prior cruises.

I was told the Victory had recently been refurbished. ...
