Just came off of five nights from New Orleans on the Carnival Valor. We have been on many Carnival cruises, but this was our first cruise with the Valor. Embarkation was great. No trouble. We were on the ship at 11 AM.
muster is great you just go to your station and sign in and listen to a 30 second tutorial. Food was decent. Lido restaurant was good. Main dining room food has declined a bit but still good. Some of the stations had long lines especially pizza at night when nothing else is open and could not get a deli sandwich because the line was super long all the time. They must be good sandwiches. We stayed in room 6343 which was a balcony room. It was very nice and we enjoyed having the balcony.
One thing I don’t understand is how the shows have not changed in the past 15 years. The welcome show is exactly the same and the three shows that we did see are the same shows that we have seen on every other cruise. That is disappointing.
Cruise Director Louie was great. Very personable, funny, and went around meeting everybody.
All in all a great cruise.
