Anyone With Info On Oct 30th Carnival Valor

[WeWant2BCruzin]

I have read we will be spending overnight in Nassau and no Freeport. I called Carnival just a bit ago and they said no word as of yet. So I dont know what to believe. If we are in Nassau how does that work? What will the intinerary be for the 4 night cruise next Sunday? Will the ship shops be closed and the casino? What is going on,lol? We just want to know why we couldnt go to HMC or Key West? So if anyone has received an email from Carnival can you please share..

Sorry about ypur luck, with ports being damaged multiple ceuise lines are looking for intiniary changes. Be safe in Nassau.

That's the itinerary several of the shorter ones are getting stuck with. Unfortunately other ports are probably full. That's one port I sure wouldn't want to be in overnight. Who wants to be in a port with safety warnings after dark all night? From what I've heard the shops are open and the casino does open around 8pm. I would just plan on staying on board in the evening and treating it as a sea day/evening.

Oh yeah, you can bet your sweet booty this girl and my Hubby will not be off the ship.. It scares the crap outta me. I will be just fine on the ship. Even though we are disappointed we will still be on a ship and not at work..

Does anyone know the intinerary for the 4 night valor since it has changed? Hours in Nassau the time at sea and such?

Not surprising; Norwegian tends to use Freeport a lot as a port of call. They're having to scramble to find alternate itineraries.

 

Given a choice of being ashore and paying for drinks in a dangerous-after-dark town or being onboard Norwegian Sky and drinking for free (it's now open bar on all sailings)......I think I'd be on the ship after 8 pm. :)

 

Regarding other possible ports than Freeport, Nassau is just about the only viable option. Key West has limited dock space, the private islands can generally take only one ship at a time (and that's in good weather), and everything else is just too far south for short itineraries. Longer cruises can maybe substitute Grand Turk or Amber Cove, but those have limited space, too.

I hope they don't stop fish and chips on my sailing.

The fish and chips are gone. They were replaced by BBQ. IDK about the Valor if fish and chips are sold on Lido Aft, but they are on the Conquest.

what?!?!? Why!?!?!

[Pellaz]

Huh, I didn't think Carnival had rolled out Ol' Fashioned Barbeque to replace Fish'n'Chips on any other ship besides Conquest so far...interesting. It's free, and pretty good.

 

If they're replicating those changes on Valor, they'll install Seafood Corner in the back (across from Pizza Pirate). It's a for-fee seafood place with a larger menu than Fish'n'Chips had.

Just spoke with carnival, no information as of yet about Freeport. The port is still closed. Not sure why it's taking them so long to let us know.
