Review summary

Hello,

Carnival Valor would not be a cruise that I would go on again. It was dated, and the housekeeper was rude to us, the luggage didn't come until close to dinner, the steak restaurant was not good, didn't eat my food, waste of money, and the top it off I slipped down their stairs in flip flops on Deck 5 which left a big bruise on my thigh that still has not gone away. the itinerary was the best part of cruise, and spending time with my family. The buffet food was the same every day which I love cruise ship food, so next time I will be traveling on another cruise line or a newer Carnival Cruise ship.

luggage didn't come until close to dining, missed formal dinner because house keeper was rude and rushing us. Housekeeper turned down 3 beds instead of all 4 beds and told us we had to wait until he came back on to get a 4th set of towels in the cabin.

Why didn't you go eat in the Dining room if you didn't like the buffet? The food is amazing there and many different options.

Seems like busting your ass clouded your judgement the rest of the way...I actually just scrolled all to way up to read your review again, I'm sorry but HAHAHAHA...I could just imagine you sliding down the stairs..my vision here is that you were coming out the pool full of confidence and decided to put your pink rubber flip flops you got from old navy when they ran the $1 sale, you were making the turn onto the 6th floor stair case and when you least expected you were belly up on the 5th floor not believing what had just happened to you...no wonder why the steward was rude...you wet the floor....well deserved.

Wow I loved this ship was our first cruise. Don't really know how anybody couldn't love the Valor. Would sail her again anytime.

For the falling in flip flops incident, you should hold onto handrails. I'm not a medical professional but I play one in real life.

Yep the ship is older than most. You love cruise buffets but the steak house was a wast but your profile shows this was your first cruise? You wore flip flops on steps and want to blame someone or thing because you slipped???

We've sailed the Valor twice before the renovations. We were ALWAYS very satisfied. Everyone was friendly and service was impeccable. Everyone has an opinion, but the reasons listed by this person are unjustified .

can't please some folks. if you have to wear flip flops at least hold on to the handrail going down the stairs that's why they put them there

You fell in flip flops and its Carnival's fault? Are you kidding me right now? Unless you are diamond, platinum or have FTTF your luggage would NOT be in your room until much later in the day even after dinner which is why they tell you to pack a carry on with things you would need that first day.

I agree about the flip flops. It's not their fault your clumsy. As for the luggage it never comes until dinner.

You're blaming the ship for falling in flip flops? You are the door who wore them.
