Took the twister excursion. Motor blew a rod. Back up motor did not work. Stranded for an hour. We returned sunburned and sea sick. Carnival offered us a pitiful 15 percent refund.

Disappointing cruise 😔

Nice Cruise

First time Cruiser I absolutely love the Valor, the fun squad always had something planned for everyone to enjoy on the ship. My favorites were Georgia and Kevin ( Kevin is the Cruise Director for the Valor.
