Looking for comments on the Valor

[J-Hawk]

I just booked this ship and wanted to get people's opinions of the Valor. Thanks in advance!

I'm going on the Valor in January as well. When are you sailing?

Went on the western in 2005 our 1st cruise it was great.

I love the Valor and all Conquest class ships......I see that this will be your 1st time on that class of ship so my best advice is to start looking at the deck plans. A lot of people complain about how NONE of the decks go all the way from front to back......but that's not true.

 

There are 2 dining rooms on this ship and they are both 2 story deck 3 and 4 and they are separated by a 2 level galley. So, if you are in the aft DR you will need to go to the aft elevators or stairway on any deck other than 3 or 4 to go down to deck 3.

 

I like the Valor for it's understated decor, though decor isn't that big of a deal for me, but some people complain that some of the Carnival ships are too gaudy.

 

You will have a sushi bar each evening, 24 hour pizza/ceasar salad/calzone, fish-n-chips on deck 10 above Rosies buffet, a giant screen out on the Lida deck, a great specialty restaurant for a $30/pp charge. There is also wine tasting held there on at least 1 sea day if not 2. There is tea time each sea day afternoon.

 

I could go on and on, but I know you will have a great time.

The Valor has the same layout as the Glory that you were on earlier this year, so you should feel right at home.

I can say that the ports the ship goes to are fabulous--especially the Belize and Roatan.

 

The one major element of the ship I didn't like was that it was extremely tacky decor. It can be best described as "all american" red, white, and blue. I am Canadian, not american....After two days I just got used to it and glanced past it. I took the least amount of ship photos of that ship.

One of the main reasons that we chose this cruise was the itinerary. I am also worried that the decor may be a bit much.

decor is fine and not really that gawdy. you barely notice it anyway after the first day. the ports are great with plenty of options for excursions.

Now for the big question....How's the food?
