	You'll know you picked a winner for your cruise as soon as you enter the CARNIVAL VICTORY's 9-story Seven Seas Atrium. You'll be smiling from ear-to-ear as you experience the ship's four shimmering pools, wide variety of delicious dining options, endless entertainment venues, friendly casino, exotic spa treatments, and -- of course -- spacious staterooms. True to her name, there are no losers aboard the CARNIVAL VICTORY. There are only very satisfied cruisers.
	The waves aren't the only things rocking this boat! Our DJ's will bring the nights alive spinning Old School favorites in some clubs with After Party Hip Hop in others. But that's not all. We've got Salsa for those who want to heat it up... plus Line Dancing and Chicago Steppin' lessons! You can also grab the mic and showcase your hidden talents in our Black Karaoke Lounge! Deck Parties... White Linen Night... African Attire Formal Evening... Singles and Senior Mixers... Like we say, there's something for everyone on Festival at Sea!
	Festival at Sea knows how to show our guests a good time. That's why we bring on the entertainment you want to see! Our 2008 line-up included contemporary R&B Artist Brian McKnight, with Neo-Soul/Jazz Grammy nominee Ledisi.... the timeless funk/reggae/soul music of WAR.... plus Comedians John Witherspoon  and Damon Williams.... and Gospel Artist Botiwa Jackson.
	So... you're a playa? Well then you'll surely be ready for all of the games Festival at Sea has to offer. For starters, you can go to Boston with your partner in our hugely popular Bid Whist Tournament. Dominoes more your style? Pick up games and a tournament are on the schedule. Singles line up with each other in our Speed Dating Game, while couples get at it in our Relationship Hat Chat Forum. 3 on 3 Basketball rules the Sports Deck, and those aspiring entertainers out there can sign up for our African-American Idol Talent Show. Plus the ship operates a full casino with roulette,  slots and more!
	With all the excitement going on, it's nice to wind down now and then and appreciate our culture. Some of our most eligible bachelors are up for "auction" in our Thurgood Marshall Fundraiser... You can participate in our Worship Service and Gospel Choir... Our Children's Book Drive brings the joy of reading to kids of all ages in the Caribbean... Jump the broom in our traditional African Renewal of Wedding Vows ceremony... and words literally turn into real life in our Spoken Word Poetry Cafe.
