LOVE IT! WILL BE BACK. JUST THE NAME ALONE "CARNIVAL" MAKES YOU WANT TO GO. ITS A FUN NAME AND THE VALOR WAS A FUN SHIP. STAFF WAS AMAZING. THE EVENING DINNER SHOW WAS A SURPRISE. AND WHEN THEY SUNG THE LAST NIGHT SUNG, I GOT TEARIED EYED!

Joemar was our friend! I'm a towel user, so he knew after the first day to give me more! LOL

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
There are not trash cans anywhere, so people just lay/leave their trash and dishes everywhere. Other than constantly picking up after someone I guess it was as good as it gets!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
To my surprise, the interior twin bed room for 2 adults, was great. In fact it wasn't as small as I was expecting it to be. PLENTY of closet and drawer space to unpack, then put your suitcase under the bed. Plenty of shelf space in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. The shower sprayer was great and even better than mine at home!

Ship tip

Read the brochures of all the activities and make a plan using your Carnival app! I didn't figure that out till the last night. This was my first - live and learn - experience and LOVED IT!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

I was nervous being a newby! Next time I will book an excursion! I enjoyed walking around Cozmel right off the ship and being able to see the ship every time I looked up!

Cozumel, Mexico

It was a nice little shopping area!

Disembarkation

Just listen to the rules, it takes time to get off the ship with that many people. It was as organized as it can be!
