They’ve stripped away practically everything special. Loyalty means nothing to them.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
If you’re Platinum or Diamond, WE NO LONGER CARE! Cattle call! Everyone boards together.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Lackluster menus, fewer choices on an older ship, sea day brunch is a 45-minute wait for your food!
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Other than the casino and bingo, not much in the way of activities.
Entertainment
1 out of 5
Terrible! A couple of shows and comedians sprinkled in among an endless onslaught if attempts to sell you things. Jewelry, art, spa care products, booze. It’s ALL about the upsell with these people.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Nothing to write home about. Average
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Familiar design and clean for an older ship. Very dated decor and rust showing in places. Valor is starting to show her age.
You two jokers can mock me from an anonymous chair all you like. I’m just giving it to you straight. It’s up to you how you choose to proceed. I have 25 years cruising with Carnival. This was my 26th cruise with them…
Truly hope your experience is better (and that Carnival gets back to what it use to be)…
I am sure things will get better as for as being platinum and diamond. As for the staff and entertainment, they are fantastic. Maybe you are just a person that likes finding bad things instead of making the beat out of your vacation. I hope the rest of your cruise is great.
