Review summary

Overall is a 5 - we had fun, we did plenty, ate plenty of amazing food - embarkation muster info and disembarkation could be a bit better but didn't ruin the vacation. People are awesome inside and out and it was easy in and out anywhere. Seriously had the best time for our first cruise - for sure coming back

Embarkation

4 out of 5

the only not fun part was the muster intro - it was hot - took a while and kids lost their cool lol other than that it was pretty easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

amazing food everywhere - if you have time go sit down at the restaurants for breakfast lunch or dinner - but if quick go to buffet - either choice you can't go wrong - but restaurants have better service, better choices and food - we loved it - kids and adults

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

pool could be bigger and the valor could use some more activities compare to other ships - but we had a blast and had plenty to do

Entertainment

5 out of 5

every event is fun. The fun crew is amazing, TJ was there entertaining at all times and didn't;t skip a beat - it was beyond fun

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

kids loved the club and even after hours was even better. So worth to pay the night owls - kids had fun wherever they went

I really get sick about people bitching about muster it’s a Cost Guard thing Carnival has no choice in the matter they must comply if people would just suck it up do as they’re told and take it just a little bit seriously things would go much much quicker
