Background Information
We are a mid 40's couple who traveled with our 9 year old daughter on the Valor over Spring break week. We have been on 7 previous cruises including the (RCCL) Explorer, Voyager, Mariner, the (Princess) Caribbean Princess, and the (Celebrity) Century and Millennium. We have been hesitant to sail with Carnival due to the negative perception that we read about and heard from our cruise friends about it being a "low end" cruise line and all that accompanies that.
Well based on our recent experience on the Valor we found Carnival to be everything but that. In fact, we felt it was was arguably one best cruises (regardless of money) that we have been on and factoring the great price we got over spring break the value was off the charts.
