Valor vs AOS

[fordslovetocruise]

How much bigger would you say the AOS is compared to the Carnival Valor. That was the light ship we cruised on and we thought it was huge. First time on RCCL. Can't wait...

I've sailed on both of those ships and the AOS is much larger.....but it is so hard to compare the two ships. The Valor has a "traditional" cruise ship feel while the AOS has the promenade and you don't really feel like you are on a ship at all. The hallways jog on AOS, so you can't see the length of the ship. We were just a few cabins from the front on the Valor and we called it the neverending hallway....you can see the whole length.

 

We really liked the buffet area on Valor....lots of choices and the pizza was yumm-oh....not a huge fan of the cafe on the Royal Promenade. We are booked on the Rhapsody for 3/18 and haven't been on a ship that small since our first cruise in 1999. We were a little apprehensive....of the mindset that new and bigger means better, but the reviews have been awesome. Enjoy the AOS.....it was a great ship and an awesome itinerary.
