OkieRican Posted March 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We are going on our first family cruise in May on the Carnival Valor. I have read many reviews, however, none for this specific ship. Can anyone tell me anything about their experience? We are traveling with three minors (17, 12, and 9) which I have signed up for their respective clubs. I have purchased drink passes for everyone (age appropriate of course. ;) Wouldn't want the hubby breaking the bank) as I am going to let the kids indulge in the sugars I deny them at home.

melissahudgens Posted March 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Google Carnival Valor reviews. There are a ton for this ship. I've been reading them once a week. We go end of April. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinrican Posted March 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We sailed the Valor July 29, 2016 and had a wonderful time. I put together a group of 22 family members for this cruise and everyone seemed to really enjoy this ship. I can't comment on kids clubs as our youngest was 18. Enjoy your cruise.

Andy1850 Posted March 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We were on the Valor over Thanksgiving....love the ship and the crew! The Kids club was great to my children, my 8yr old only went one day, she made a lot of friends in on the Lido. My 11yr old went everyday and had a great time! Our cabin steward was the best we have ever had on the Valor! I would sail on her again in a heartbeat. This was our first cruise with the kids and it went so well that we are going on a longer one in July. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaShesLookinOutMyWindow Posted March 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I was on the Valor ages ago, and didn't have anything to compare her to since she was our first cruise. However, we loved her then and I'm sure she's just as amazing now. The only thing that bugged me, and it really wasn't a big deal, is that we never found a way to the main floor of the auditorium. We always ended up coming up on the 2nd level doors. Even when we'd take the elevator/stairs down an extra floor next time, we always ended up on the 2nd floor. Not a big deal, though. We laughed at it by the end of the week. I'm sure you'll have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've been on the Valor 7 times, and the only hiccups I've had was on a "freebie" casino cruise, where they gave me an inside cabin on the lowest deck with a non working TV and stopped up shower. The Valor probably has the "loudest" Farcus interior decor of the Conquest class ships (Conquest, Glory, Valor, Freedom and Liberty), but one can like it or ignore it. I used to sail it for the low solo fares offered when they were 150% on the Western Itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted March 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We sailed Valor last year before she got the 2.0 additions and absolutely loved her. The crew was fantastic!!!! I am sure that with the 2.0 upgrades she is even better now. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auscgguysgirl Posted March 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We sailed the Valor in March 2016. We had a wonderful time. We had a balcony cabin, deck 8, mid ship. We loved the dining room staff (early dining) ... we had F2F ... we spent a LOT of time in the spa. We had a blast on the boat. We loved our itinerary and our excursions (Belize, Cozumel, Honduras, Costa Maya). We left our of Port Canaveral which was easy. I too, wrote a review, but can't find it.

TxCruiseGuy Posted March 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Was on Valor for Super Bowl weekend. Great ship, even better crew. The decor is....interesting though, but that's to be expected with the Conquest class haha. Was a great cruise and would happily sail her again.
