Has anyone been on the Carnival Valor?

We are thinking about taking a 7 night cruise on the Valor. Has anyone been on that ship and can give reviews or tips?

Hi there I am a former crew member just recently off the Valor. Can I answer any questions about her?

Can I answer any questions about her?

 

Is the lighting for the shows on the Valor any better than the others? I've seen some pretty awful stuff. :eek: :eek:

 

(and some that wasn't too bad...)

We had an AMAZING cruise on the Valor last year. Loved the ship. Had a great itinerary (Roatan, Belize, Grand Cayman and Coz). I think it was my favorite cruise so far!

Valor is a good choice; we have been on 19 cruises and Valor was great.

Hay 2Ports,

I only have 2 other shows to go off of, and in my opinion yes. The Valor has Far From Over a first, of its kind for Carnival. It was put on the Valor first and is currently on the Sensation as well I believe. Far From Over is really a 80's rock show review and I think some of the best work Preston Archer, the Lighting Designer for Carnival, has done. The show is in your face, high energy and I believe Preston stayed with that and enhanced the show.

Does that help? any other questions?

The shows are very good, sound, lights, dancers all are great. The ship in general is very clean and crew members are great.

If you are into art, try the actions. We won a 500.00 print. cost to ship home 35.00. not bad at all.

 

great mix of people.

Have done 3 cruises on the Valor and have the 4th one booked. You will love the ship and the ports - have done both sides. Everything about the ship is great. Have a wonderful time.:)

I am booked for the Christmas cruise. Does the Valor do anything special for the holiday? I am traveling with children:)

A link to my wife's review is in my signature below, just ckick on it!

 

It is a wonderful ship!

We sailed on Valor this summer out of Miami, and we loved it!

We went to St. Marten and St. John and the Bahamas. I thought the shows

were a little cheesy, but overall did a good job. You can't go wrong with the

Valor.....have a great time.

I was on her in February-the ship is beautiful! I thought it would be kind of gaudy, but it's not-even the pink dining room! Loved the Americana theme in the atrium. And for so many passengers, it never felt crowded to me.

 

I thought the 80's review was great, as well as the other stage shows. Some of the comedians were great, some were so-so-that happens no matter where you go, though. All a matter of taste. Definitely hit the piano bar if you like a fun crowd-go early if Ron Pass is playing!!:D (Social!)

 

I thought the exotic western itinerary was fantastic-would do it again in a heartbeat. A good mix of developed and less developed ports. Loved Roatan. I'm afraid it will be much changed by the time I get back there. Go now if you want a less commercialized stop! There's signs of big development. Costa Maya, too. We missed that one because of weather, but hope to make it this February.

We were on the Valor in March of '05 and love her. Though the Fantasy class ships are my favorite because of less people and smaller lines, the Valor was beautiful, had great service and food!

 

You should have a great time. There are some photos in my link below!

I got off of the Valor on Christmas day last year. The ship had some nice Christmas decorations, and on the last sea day (Christmas Eve) there was a special holiday show that had the cruise director reading Christmas stories and singing with the Camp Carnival kids. There are usually special Christmas menus in the dining room, as well.

For those that have been on the Valor and the Glory, which is your favorite? Setting aside itineraries, I want to know if you liked one ship over the other.
