My wife and I enjoyed the Carnival Valor. Such a great Ship, Crew, and Staff. Brilliant design, quite friendly and hassle-free. This was our second cruise this year. The staff was fantastic. There were no issues or complaints.
We are looking forward to cruising again with Carnival.

Onboard Activities

The pool activities were enjoyable. The Fitness center was small but impressive. The free weights and machine were open, plus no wait lines.
Shogun Club Casino
5 out of 5
I had a fantastic time gambling. Thanks to a guy named Jimmy with a Y. During the craps game he rolled for an hour straight twice. You can only imagine how that went for those who played.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Excellent! the violin was the best part of the show. All the musicians were in sync. They played the right music at the right time. Live performance throughout the five days.
Children's Programs

My 13-year-old grandson played the arcade games and had a blast! The Cat in the Hat was also entertaining. We really enjoyed having our photos taken and take home amazing memories.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Reysiska was our Stateroom Attendant. She was fantastic and there when we needed her. During our Steakhouse dining, we had Dragisa, the Team Lead Server. Our vacation couldn't have been better without them.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship layout was easy to navigate. The design was slightly impressive. United State Presidents and theme was nice. The Show Gun Casino was pretty cool having the Warriors surrounding the entrance.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Wow, Very large suite and incredibly comfortable. We were starboard and had a magnificent view. You can barely feel the rocking as cruise through the stormy night. We were the ship's center and had easy access to walking forward or aft.
Ship tip
You should try out the Fun To Fly!. My Daughter and Daughter in Law along with my grandson used it. The cost was significantly cheaper when booked with Carnival. Great way to save money and Carnival guarantees arrival. Same day travel and priority boarding.
We arrived two days early to tour New Orleans! We tried the City tour and cemetery. We also enjoyed the one-day pass riding the train. The all-day train ride cost us 3 dollars each. You can get off and on as many times throughout the day. There were lots of things to see and do.
We planned a day at the beach. The weather was excellent for our Family. Just before we left, it started to down poor. The water was a slightly cool but nice day for a snorkel.
Excellent excursion. We traveled to the Mayan ruins. We learned about the Ruin and their culture. We drove in an air-conditioning bus with 31 passengers. A medium size group then traveled to the Sancho hotel, where we had lunch included. Lastly, we traveled on a small boat to the Cenote. this was an incredible excursion for a cheap price! Our Tour guide spoke proper English.
Facile recognition with no passport required. we excited the cruise ship at 0729 and clear customs at 0755. We walked over to Carnival Bus where we checked baggage and loaded by 0815. 5 Stars Carnival for disembarkation!!
