Review summary

1st cruise and loved it... Cozumel was beautiful and we want to return some day for a longer stay. The cenote in Yucatan was a once in a lifetime experience I feel... carnival Valor and staff were awesome and made my experience just even more perfect.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great, fast long line but they worked quickly that there really was not a big wait time...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was great... our servers were awesome and buffets were delicious

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We spent most of our time on deck 5 near casino. That Shotgun Club Bar was awesome due to the best bartenders (my opinion) plus they had my pomegranate margarita and other decks did not. Deck 9 had food (buffet) and the outside pool plus iguana bar... we attended comedy show, bingo, magic show and some other small entertainment shows. All events were great.

Shogun Club Casino

5 out of 5

Had almost every game you could find at a local casino.... payouts were good for many people

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great... balcony was beautiful and size of room was perfect

Ship tip

Really take less clothes as needed. Reuse the same bottoms as needed take more tops and make sure you bring all favorite hygiene cause the ship store doesn’t carry all brands and prices are high
