And the totally incongruous "Samurai" along the Casino hallway....

If you're trying to remember the difference between what each looks like inside, just remember Valor is all about the eagles --- EVERYwhere. And Rosie the Riveter in the Lido buffet. Never been on Glory (3 times on Valor) but the decor looks like it may be more attractive/more diverse than Valor. Someone may disagree.

First cruise (on the Holiday) in 2008. The things I miss: Farewell Party (with drinks, snacks and a band) for Everyone on the last evening Welcome back Party for ALL repeat cruisers - with the video parade of Ships that everyone would cheer A basket of amenities in the bathroom. Chocolates on the pillow each evening Twice daily service - and the stewards had probably half the number cabins to take care of Ice bucket and ice in the cabin... without asking Sodas in the fridge for purchase A live Carnival band onstage for the main shows Don't get me wrong. We love to cruise (Carnival, Royal, Celebrity, Cunard) and will continue to do so. Just miss some of those perks

I never received any Great offers until I started playing slots. Black Jack didn't result in any offers. My "best offer" was $25 for Interior for an Australia cruise with $300 AUD of OBC. Cost of airfare and Covid restrictions made it less than desirable. I'm wondering how much Casino play is needed to come up with a "free offer". I don't allot more than $200 for casino play and usually come back with most of that.

After my March solo cruise on Valor out of New Orleans, I got an offer that worked out to be only $100 more to move up to an Ocean Suite from a balcony. Our Ocean Suite on the September 10th Carnival Valor 5-day cruise for 2 is $753.72 - includes taxes and fees. Never had a Suite before. Will be a surprise for DH. (That's about the same price we paid for our first cruise in 2008. An aft OV cabin on the Riviera deck on a 5 day cruise in September aboard the Holiday out of Mobile :-)
