Review summary

Our Family cruise was fun, and our children had a good time. More variety in evening shows would have been nice. Not changing carpet on the last night of the cruise would have created a better experience.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The embarkation was a little slow.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The ships dining was great and the food at the buffets was Good but the service at times was a bit slow.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I didn’t experience the Pools because they were way too crowded With either children or drunk adults. The fitness center was nice and clean. The water slide was shut down most the time.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The performers were adequate. It like have been nice to experience more than song and dance for evening shows.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Our children had a great time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the ship staff were wonderful!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
All common areas were clean. It would have been nice to have a common area or way to walk from one side of the ship to the other without a smoking environment.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was small but nice. However, Carnival Valors choice to replace the carpet on our last night was a huge disappointment, and poor choice in the part of carnival.

Ship tip

Carnival Valor Ship is very crowded with lots of children everywhere.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

1 out of 5
New Orleans is a very interesting port with lots of history.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We weren’t able to experience the port of Cozumel entirely because of our limited budget.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Our disembarkation from Carnival Valor was proficient.

Glad you enjoyed most of it. Try traveling when school is in session for less children and crowds. As far as replacing the carpet on the last day, ships must perform maintenance while passengers are onboard since the ships sail every day and are usually only in dry dock every 8-10 years. Most people want them to perform maintenance, just as long as they aren’t doing it while they are cruising, lol.
