Review summary

We have cruised Carnival several times. They are our first go to when we are looking for a vacation.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was great. Servers were incredible as always.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Could have been more activities instead of trivia games. We were sad to hear you no longer do the Hairy Chest contest. We spent a lot of time in Red Frog pub to play bean bag toss. Lido deck didn't seem to have much going on except laying around the pool. Pool area lacked enough seating for sitting & enjoying the outdoor area. Wished we would have known earlier the activities were listed in the Hub app. We didn't find out until day 2.

Entertainment

Always top notch

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I loved the decor of the Valor - American!!!! Everything was clean & tidy. Some of the hand sanitizers didn't work or were out in the most popular areas (on lido deck)

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was very nice. Ample space, very clean. Emerson did a wonderful job taking care of any issues. Balcony could use a good scrubbing & light repairs.

Ship tip

Definitely download the Hub app and use it to find activities as soon as you get on board.

So glad you enjoyed your cruise. Yes the HUB app is LIFE. Love it! Can’t wait to cruise again but unfortunately I have to work to pay for it. Life sucks that way LOL (just kidding). Thank you for your review
