Carnival Valor - Reviews

This was our family's first time cruising. We had a great time but found the food options to be very disappointing. The excursions were fun and the entertainment onboard was great. I am hoping that other Carnival ships have better food but I am thinking of trying a different cruise line all together in the future. The hub chat feature is very flawed and was a waste of money. It hardly ever worked at sending messages.

I had an incredible time on the cruise ship along with my friend. We really just needed to escape and relax and we were able to do so perfectly. I was blown away by the accommodations, and kinda wish that the photos weren't as expensive to buy, but I couldn't speak highly enough. I would say that the singles mixer could be improved because it was kinda awkward but maybe thats just because of the crowd. Anyway I'd love to talk to anyone thinkin about this cruise!

Had a wonderful time with my family on this cruise and can't wait for the next one. Having a balcony room was one of the best decisions we made. All the food was fantastic, as well as all the Carnival Staff!

We really enjoyed ourselves. The experience has made us cruisers for life. The atmosphere was fun and inviting and there was always something to do. I never ate the same thing twice.

My first cruise was a wonderful experience. Thanks to the carnival crew for making it so.

It was a good experience and I think I chose the right company

Fun!!! The workers do everything for you to have a memorable vacation!! Jump on board and forget your worries!!

Had a large group celebrating a 50 year anniversary! It was a great family experience! Wonderful staff and activities! Easy on and off of ship! This was a smaller ship but still great experience!

Loved my first cruise; planning a second one ASAP Everything was excellent All 10 stars

We were sailing in the middle of a hurricane and I realize that weather cannot be controlled and being on a ship is just one of the things that makes a trip during a hurricane very uncomfortable, but the trip was not a very pleasant experience due to the embarkation issues, the weather and the bed. The food was not good (except for the steakhouse) I highly recommend the steakhouse. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. We had the beds pushed together to make a king, but there needs to be a better way of handling that because I kept falling into the middle of the bed where it separated, and it was horrible. I never got one good night of sleep the entire trip.

As my title suggests, we enjoyed the carnival cruise. This was a first for our family and we enjoyed it. Anybody who’s had reservations about taking a cruise should rethink it and take the plunge and go on one. Have fun!!

This was a good cruise for our 3 generation group. Lacked the enrichment activities of other cruises we have been on, but good for our kids and grandkids. The cruise director was great.

OUR CRUISE WAS THE BEST VACATION WE HAD EVER BEEN ON WE ARE BOOKING SOON FOR NEXT YEAR FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY AND WE ABSOLUTLEY LOVED TJ THE SHIP DIRECTOR HE IS AMAZING AT HIS JOB

I was disappointed I had read a lot of things that said to bring cash for gratuity so we did just that and then after reviewing all of our receipts gratuity was added to every single one of them including one just buying a bottle of water. We had no air conditioner and we weren't even offered a complimentary drink the staff was aware of the AC not working they stated it was happening in 14 cabins one would think that they would have available fans being as though we can not open the window; and or at least offer a cold drink maybe two. Drinks are way over priced and one may want to look and see if they have the beverages they drink before going on cruise. My husband drinks Budweiser and they do not carry Budweiser; he was very disappointed.

Loved the first time experience. Will definitely do it again.

What a wonderful vacation - can not wait for our next cruise!

Choose this cruise since it was our first time, I have 16 year old twin sons and a 12 year old daughter. I am a single mother, so this was more of a test run and it could not have been a better option. It took us the entire trip to get acclimated with cruise life while not being overwhelmed. I am currently booking a 7 day trip for next June and feel this smaller trip 'learning' will allow me to take full advantage of all a cruise has to offer. Well worth the money!

We very much enjoyed this trip! We will definitely look into taking another Carnival cruise.

Fun cruise. Lots to do- karaoke, pools, etc. Food is delicious and lots of options.

Cruise Director, TJ, was great. High energy all of the time.
