Review summary

This was our 7th cruise and we really enjoyed it. Valor is a great ship with a great crew. Kevin the CD is great. NOLA is a good port to leave from and very organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Drinks and food were good. Typical carnival. My favorite is Alchemy and they always good. Dining room service was good, we had early seating.

Onboard Activities

The Red Frog live band was absolutely amazing. They’re called Deep Blue Soul — a must watch!

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The ship crew was great. Smiling and always helpful. But every cruise I’m disappointed in the officers. They’re rude typically unless you’re seeing the very senior officers.

Always clean, but the A/C unit made a weird noise all the time.
