I recently returned from the Carnival Valor where several of my friends joined me. One of my friends is handicapped and in a wheelchair most of the time with limited mobility.
Carnival had advised that we would be in two tendered ports but they would assist in anyway to get the passenger to the shore.
They were true to their word, going above and beyond not only to assist but to make the experience a wonderful one.
The tender company and personnel were equally responsible for making the experience far above our expectations.
From the time that we arrived at the pier, they whisked us through the line and onto the ship in record time, allowed our handicap friend to go to their cabin earlier than regular guests, and assisted with acclimating our party to the areas suitable for wheelchair access.
Shore excursions were very tiring and we had to take meals to our friend a couple of nights and the head waiter Ericson made sure that we were well taken care of to get the meals to her in a timely fashion and hot from the kitchen.
They were genuinely concerned for making sure everything was situated to assist in the best experience for everyone. I can not say enough about this experience. Kudos to the entire staff of the Carnival Valor April 27 sailing:) :o
