marseelee Posted May 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hello all! I just came back from a 5 day cruise on the Carnival Valor. Overall, it was an amazing cruise! The crew were top notch - every crew member I interacted with was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond for us. Our steward was great and our dining staff even better. I had Your Time Dining but we requested the same wait staff for the rest of the week and I'm glad we did. We had cabin 6363, a balcony. This cabin was right above the casino so we heard the music bumping until around 12am which didn't bother us. The ship decor was nice but it was very confusing to navigate. Most of the decks don't go all the way through so we had to go up and down floors trying to find our way to different places. I know most people are probably used to this but my first cruise was on the Magic and I think that ship is a little easier to navigate. This cruise director, Brandon was SO FUN. He is hilarious and he made every event he led so much fun. My favorites were the 70s, 80s, and 90s, music trivia dance parties each night. Brandon dressed up for that particular decade and led the crowd sing along. He even crowd surfed on 80s night. All of the events were awesome, some highlights being the Love & Marriage show and the Q & Awesome with Brandon. Well, those are the highlights! Feel free to ask me anything you want about the Valor. It was a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenaDianne Posted May 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi! We leave on the 7th od June on the Valor. Do you have a copy of the FunTimes itinerary so I could possible get an idea of what to expect. Any other tips?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookDragon Posted May 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thx for the review! Did you eat in the steakhouse? I’m wondering if it is serving the old or new menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marseelee Posted May 26, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi! We leave on the 7th od June on the Valor. Do you have a copy of the FunTimes itinerary so I could possible get an idea of what to expect. Any other tips?? I personally don’t have a copy of the fun times but definitely search the forums because I found a post with the Valor funtimes before I sailed & they were all accurate. When you get on the ship go to guest services to get a map of the ship! It shows you which decks have thru access and which don’t. That was very helpful! Second, I would say to leave extra early the morning of embarkation. We were late to our check-in time because of all the traffic. There were 2 boats docking at the same time so that’s why.

septemberbabycruising Posted May 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2018 We were on the Valor in April for that same itinerary and had a wonderful time as well! I could have written the exact same review you did, marseelee! We loved Brandon as the CD-- the decade trivia nights were a blast! We also had trouble navigating our way from the back of the ship (Deck 1) to dinner on Deck 5-- up and down the stairs a few times to get to the right pass-through. By the final night, we were pro's but sadly had to leave right when we got good at it. Ha! Glad you had a fun cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
