It's called Rio Secreto.

Fellow Tulsan,

I have enjoyed reading your review. I have got some pretty good information from it. My husband and I will be taking our belated honeymoon the same time next year.

Thanks for sharing!

We'll be going on our 1st cruise on the Valor next weekend. We got a balcony on deck 7. If I remember, I'll come back in here to post our experience. Really looking forward to this. My father and brother have already done this cruise on the Valor. Both said it was great.

If you remember, I would love to read about your experiences.

I considered lido too but the price was more than I wanted to pay. I chose 6 so I could save a bit more money to use towards other things. Lido was very enticing though!

Kitkat, I don't know much about specific rooms but I do know that if noise is an issue to you, try getting a room on a deck that has rooms above and below.

Thank you for the details. I booked a room on deck 6.

Customer service is very important to me so I'm glad to hear you had a great experience in that area.

I look forward to your comments. Have fun and enjoy your time.

If your concerned, check with the CDC. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/cruise_ship/mexico?s_cid=ncezid-dgmq-travel-double-001

Thank you for the detailed cruise. Currently we have been offered deck 6. My concern is deck 5 below, Promenade. Does anyone have an opinion on sleeping above a lot of action?

My favourite deck is 9, because it had my cabin on. It was the 6k grand scenic ocean view. I've never spent that much time inside a cabin before but sunset/sunrise or stargazing was just amazing. We had 9200 and it has floor to ceiling windows all around one entire side. It's also around twice the floor space of a regular ocean view with very little added cost.

 

Loved itinerary and the ship. Best cruise ever!

We're on the Valor right now. I plan to post more when we return but just to let you know, the aft pool is now family friendly. The adults only Serenity area is all the way forward on 11,in front of the spa. No pool or hot tubs. Just deck chairs and a few clamshells.

That's odd. From the deck plans, deck 11 is fitness/spa/sports deck. Did they add a pool somewhere?

Thank you Cruisin Karen for the clarification.

What does it mean for a ship to be repositioned?

We sailed on her out of Galveston in February. You probably don't see a lot of reviews for your itinerary because it is relatively new to Galveston.

 

We loved Valor. We were on deck 7, in a balcony. It was nice to have rooms above and below us. Our room was close to the aft elevator, so we were convenient to the buffet, pizza pirate, and aft pool.

Thank you for the tips, much appreciated.

I'm not sure as I am just getting into the cruising world. She's been around for a bit So it's not like she's a young ship. Curioser and Curioser...

Making our first trip on the Valor this December. Cant wait to hear about everyone's experience.

If you remember, please report your experiences as well! I won't be shipping out until June 2018 so I would love to hear how you enjoyed your trip, what was your favorite part of the ship and why, and what excursions (if any) did you enjoy.

Thank you!

We sailed on Valor last summer. It was a good size for a first cruise, not our first. Loved the upgrades, Alchemy Bar was my favorite spot. It was a summer and packed cruise. Hard to get into a comedy show. Casino is open so if you don't smoke, beware. There was a great oldies band but right by the Casino - not a favorite place for us as we like to breath fresh air. Also on our trip the piano player was hurt, so there wasn't any piano bar music after the first night or 2. Wasn't my favorite decor. And our room steward was not to be found. My sister was on the same cruise, different deck, and she had a great room steward. Food was ok, but we had a bad experience in the specialty dining steak restaurant. But it was our first time to on a Southern cruise, 3 new ports for us. That was really good. Also entertainment, although sparsely attended, the shows were very good. But any cruise is a good cruise. Most of the staff was great. Do the sea day brunch, really nice. Watch the daily Compass for specials. And have a great time!

Thank you so much for the thorough response!

I check under the actual review section of this website. It has 4/5 starts. You can find it here

The link doesn't work but I'm wanting more of a user's view of any particular deck and what they enjoyed most about it.

I'm sailing on the Valor on 10 days first time with Carnival. I noticed too that the talk about the Valor is very sparse. I'll let you know what I think on my return.😀

Yes, the conversations are extremely sparse. I wonder why that is so...

I will be sailing out of Galveston June 2018 (long ways away, I know) and I've noticed there are very few reviews/threads about Valor. Is there anything wrong with her???

Since there are few, I figured I would start a thread and see where it goes.

On Valor, which deck is your favorite and give specific reasons why. I want to experience every deck but want to know the high lights.

Thank you for reading a newbies post and contributing.

Following... Compiling information about each deck for my future cruise.
