Review summary

!!!

Overall enjoyed. A few things that bothered us. The show with the dancers was obscene, we will not do another one. Very disappointing. The girls costumes were not appropriate and the dances were not either. We walked out as did others.

Family friendly, not at all.

The other thing was that the ship positions were taken down from our TV and also from the public area on the ship. This was very concerning to us as we were cruising while there was a strong hurricane in the
Caribbean. We would have liked to see our position, which for some reason we were not able to do.

We did appreciate the way the docking was handled back at Canaveral. We realize it was a mess with so many people coming and going but ya'll did a really great job. Thanks!

Almost forgot; the band with the 4 Philippines was EXCELLENT

If you are referring to the shows where the various nightclubs were featured (Cotton Club, Copa Cabana, Limelight) the dancers were portraying "showgirls" from those clubs,. The showgirls at the actual clubs did wear G-strings. There were 15 of us cruising, no one thought they were obscene. I was more offended by the sights of the people frequenting the pools.

I am similar with shows. That is why we skip them. I am more than ok with being a prude lol I haven't been on Carnival yet and can't wait! Thanks for your review

Hi stevecordell! Yikes! Inappropriate attire at the shows? No good! Can you recollect how many pieces of genitalia you all saw, please share. If the answer is "zero" I recommend for your next vacation to sit in a dark closet and wear a blindfold. Do not attempt to go to the pool! It seems you might consider a swimming pool full of people a strip club! Thank you and have a fantastic day!

Was on Valor 9/17-9/25 and the ships location board was not working then as well but the cabin TV was as well as the four network channels. Saw the same shows but didn't see anyone leave and there were many families at the late shows.
