2 years ago we sailed the Valor in the Western Caribbean. Now that they offer this ship out of San Juan with 5 stops (at very reasonable rate) I had to jump on the opportunity.
Carnival has much larger outside rooms than RCC and even Princess. The rooms in the corners are huge - if you can find one. You get most of the space from a balcony included inside the room. The upgrade from inside is worth the small cost. The only down side is the fact that the windows are never clean.
The food has not changed over the past 2 years, but since I am easily pleased I have no problem something to make me happy. Yes the lines at the Mongolian BBQ, Pizza ..etc are slow, but the options are nice to have.
