Carnival Valor

We gave Carnival a second try because we didn't think it was fair to judge off of one trip. Unfortunately this was our last time. The ship and staff have the potential to be an awesome vacation but Carnival's typical guest is obnoxious, drunk, lack social courtesies and use the ship as a babysitter. Kids were running and screaming through the hallways and stairways constantly - as late as 2 am.

Good first time cruise! I would go on this cruise again. Now that i know what to expect. It was a nice simple cruise. We really enjoyed ourselves! Nice short getaway!

Overall, I would say it was a good experience. You do have to keep in mind the cruise line wants your money... so the whole trip may seem like one huge tourist trap. But keeping that in mind and watching what you spend will keep your expenses at a reasonable level.

The cruise itself was very nice the maintenance staff has something to be desired after cleaning my balcony they left the chairs and table stacked up against the balcony door. My wife's cabin had a A/C problem and they just brought her a fan for the room.

The ship is very dark and somewhat tired. We went on cruise to relax and we were able to do that. Do not know if we would travel on Carnival again. It would have to be a much newer ship.
