A horrible time and really don't think I'm going to try through Carnival again.

Ship tip

Ask about the shows so you know what they are. Bring your own food, pool, hot tub, slide and A/C unit. Do not purchase wifi package. If, you like the casino and drinking this is the cruise for you.

It doesn’t sound like you like anything about cruising! Looks like you should try something else to spend your vacation dollars on and keep your negative attitude away from those of us who love cruising! 🍸

Can somebody please explain that review to me was it sarcasm was there some kind of a problem I think it was English beyond that I really didn’t understand a damn word of it I think my Chihuahua could have written a better review and my Chihuahua has never even been on a ship before by the way my Chihuahuas name is Lucy she is about 6lbs I sometimes call her cutie pie she loves cheese I sometimes hide a pill in it she eats it so fast she doesn’t even notice I actually have two dogs Charlie is a little nut my wife rescued he loves to play sometimes we play outside I bought him a little kiddie pool he loves to swim and splash around he probably couldn’t write a good review because he has doesn’t know how to type and his spelling is terrible

Good to hear that smoking isn’t allowed all over the ship. I question the validity of this review since their profile doesn’t show a cruise and this is the only review.

How sad to hear that you had such a bad time on the Valor. We loved it last June. Every thing was spot on. The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. I agree with Armstrong7984 your review was to broad.

You shouldn't put so much emphasis on having fun while on vacation

No movies? This ship was voted as the one w the best food on my other group actually too lol. No ac? Why didn’t they move you? No activities? Your review is soooo broad.

No a/c?? I hear there is a smoking deck and a movie showing. Are those things lies?
