Anyone one been on the Carnival...?

Question

Valor? Or any Carnival cruise lately?

Is it nice, how's the food, service? please tell me as much as possible.

Answer 1

Lots of detailed information in the links below.

Not as gawdy a decor as some of the older CCL ships, generally good food and service but not as good as on Princess, HAL, or RCCL. More kids than on HAL or X but they make a decent effort at keeping them occupied with the Camp Carnival.

We always have a good time and find that it's usually a good value relative to other cruise lines.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

I've been on the Imagination, Inspiration and most recently the Valor. It was amazing. The Valor is newer, larger, and has better service than older smaller ships in the same line. I especially liked the deserts and was so impressed with the food I bought the Carnival cookbook. Keep in mind that most people who put down Carnival have either never been on a Carnival ship or are teenagers who have never paid for their own cruise. Carnival did not get to be the biggest cruiseline without delivering a good product at a value price. I am also not brand loyal. I choose whichever ship is going to the ports I want to see. Those that have biking, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and some historical significance. Given that, I always look for at least a 4 star rating. The longer the cruise the less party hardy atmosphere there is. The longer cruises tend to have more experienced passengers. Bon Voyage.
