Great food and exceptional dining service, plenty of fun things to do throughout the day and evening. I'd like to specifically recognize Big Al, Piya, and Andy who so graciously and professionally served us every evening in the main dining room. The best care ever from these three!

Carnival Valor

June

Pros: Our steward was very good (Imim) and we liked some of the entertainment

Cons: Food, entertainment, staff courtesy,

Recommended: No

We have sailed with Princess, Royal Caribbean, and this was our first Carnival cruise. We will never book with Carnival again. The other cruise lines were so much better. The food wasn’t very good, the staff was very rude, the AC in our room kept breaking and at times out room temp was above 80 degrees. I ordered a Father’s Day gift 2 months before to be delivered to our room, and I only got the beach towel. I didn’t get the hats, and only after standing in line at guest services for 45 minutes to inquire why, is when they told me they didn’t have the hats. Sorry. No offer was made to trade them for a different style or anything.

Thanksgiving cruise

November

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

This was our first time on the Valor, and we really enjoyed it! We don't mind the smaller ships, although we wish the cruise had been longer than four days! Most guests appeared to be following COVID protocols and always seemed to comply when asked to put a mask on. We made friends with some of the crew (one that we're still in contact with!), which is one of the things we always enjoy. We would definitely cruise on the Valor again!
