Carnival Valor - Reviews

I would NOT recommend this ship at all. I feel like we wasted our money. We could not even enjoy the pool or hot tub without being rained on by pieces of black particles from the ship/ engine. It even ruined my husband and daughters swimsuits. We moved around to different areas on the ship and still would be covered in black pieces of some sort of particles. This vacation we looked forward to for a year and was very disappointed, I even cried. I don’t think we will cruise with Cardinal again and if we ever do it will NOT be on the Valor. Definitely an experience I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to go through.

We made the best of it and have noted to never book this ship again!

We had a great time. Always plenty to do and the ship is very clean. It is beautiful.

We won't be cruising Carnival again. The crews lack of interest is understandable with the type of guests Carnival is attracting now. Low fares attract low life individuals. We saw one man pick up his steak with his hands to eat it. He never used a knife and fork. Trashy trashy people!! We're not snobs, but refuse to cruise again with animals.

This was my 5 cruise my expectations where high pass customer focus experience spoiled me this cruise was truly a disappointment. Limited food times and options LONG wait times for meals. Waited over an hour to get purchases made onshore and on the ship. Just seemed like Carnival is no longer concern with customer connivence and repeat business. So disappointed

Great Cruise because we took our Mother's on their 1st Cruise. Entertainment needs improvement. We're use to bands at different places on the ship playing all types of music. More music by Whitney Houston is needed in Karaoke. Smoking needs to be done only outside and not inside the ship anywhere. The second hand smoke is killing those of us who don't smoke and that's not fair!!! Wheelchair assisted individuals should get on and off the ship first, hands down!

It was my first ever Cruise and we really enjoyed ourselves. I'm 87 years old and I do not eat after 7 p.m. so the late dining time was very disappointing. Gettting off the ship was horrible on the ships end. We feel all wheelchair assisted individuals should get off the ship first!

Overall, the food was sub-par, service was mostly sub-par, having to sign for each and very drink was time-consuming and dumb. We met some fantastic people and really enjoyed spending time with them. However, the overall experience was average, and we will not be sailing with Carnival again.

It was an amazing experience! We have been married for 27years and this cruise was just what we needed. So many things to do for all ages and people of different choices. We are looking to book our next cruise to take our four girls.

This was my family's first and definitely not last cruise! it is totally worth every penny spent!

We had a lot of fun and left feeling that it all ended to soon. We are already looking forward to our next cruise.

My favorite part was that in a world full of hate and ugly this cruise had just about every culture and ethnicity and everyone got along. People were respected and it was beautiful to see that when sometimes there's so much hate.

We loved everything and that cruise. We loved the food. We loved the cleanliness. We loved the fact that there was always something to do. We will definitely be back.

For our first cruise, it was relaxing enough that we'd definitely do it again.

Nice, enjoyable and relatively inexpensive short getaway.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This ship needs to be retired ASAP!!

This was an affordable, excellent first cruise experience. Just waiting to book the next one and will stick with Carnival most likely.

This was our first cruise and definitely not our last. A major thank you to all of the staff even the ones that work behind the scenes. This was the best vacation we have ever been on and created two cruise addicts for sure!

First time on a cruise really enjoyed it ready to embark on another cruise

A super fun cruise. Great staff. Kevin the cruise director keeps you well entertained. An incredible first, second, or even third cruise experience.
