Review summary

let me first start out in saying the hotel staff was wonderful. I greatly enjoyed enter acting with staff members who remembered my name and always had a happy smile on their face when you passed by. Now on to the bad part, the shows on the Carinval Valore were absolutely horrible. If that's how all shows are I don't think I will be going on another cruise. None of those shows were good except for maybe one. The food was pretty good overall. The rooms were kept nice and clean. But again Valore failed us again with the shows at night and only 1/4 comedians were actually good. They need to work on entertainment for sure. I also found out that I paid way to much for this cruise. I spent more then anybody else on board!!! Why is that? I thought cheap cruises was suppose to help me get a good deal not a bad deal. So overall I was highly disappointed in this cruise ship and cheap

I have been on 6 cruises and have never had the time to go to shows! So many other things to do!

After reading your review, I don't get the one star rating either.

My husband and I are about to go on our fourth cruise. We have went various shows, comedy, and activities. We have always enjoyed everything there is to offer. If you go in with high expectations you might be disappointed. We love every minute of it.

Your sore point seems to be the shows. There is other entertainment on ships. I think you could have found something you liked.

Have been on three Carnival ships ( Ecstasy, Inspiration, Legend ) sailing on the Valor Aug 29th. With that said, it IS what you make of it. Find your fun, and enjoy. It does require that you bring a ability to have fun. Some people will never be satisfied.

You just can't please some people. We cruise all the time and have enjoyed every minute. It is what you make of it.

Never trust a review such as this one with such deplorable grammar! =)

So your basing your 1 star SOLELY on the fact the shows were bad? Really? Is that all you went on the cruise for? There is so much more to experience on cruises other than shows. We haven't gone to many of the onboard shows in the last 12 cruises we have been on and haven't been bored.You have been on one cruise only so you really don't have much to compare it to. Other than you rants about the poor shows, it sounds as though the rest of your cruise went OK so I don't feel this review is deserving of only one star. And as for the price you paid and the fact you requested double beds, getting the right price is nothing more than shopping around and even signing up for the "Price Alerts" here on this site. The bed situation could have been remedied onboard by your cabin steward if you had asked. You can request for the beds to be separated (double) or they can push them together to make one queen size bed.
