Review summary

Booked this for my parents 50th anniversary with my siblings and our kids. There were lots of activities to enjoy together and individually. Personally I would have like more time in Grand Turk and St. Thomas and could have skipped over Puerto Rico. Bahamas would have been another good addition.

Overall it was a nice ship and the service was very good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was good. Surprised how good the quality was in the dining room. Be prepared for long food lines as you return from excursions. Carnival could have done a better job opening more restaurants during these times.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The Valor is an older ship. Inside it is clean and in very good shape. Outside is very rusty and in need to paint.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved the oversized balcony and views.

Ship tip

Don't miss the Comedy Club. Both the family and adult versions are great! Carnival offered excursions are very good. Grab a space on deck early on days at sea.
