Carnival Valor Review

Additional details
Since we live in Florida, we drove from our home in Spring Hill toward Miami to stay with my brother & sister-n-law in Jupiter, Fl. which is 1-1/2 hours from the port. Were glad we did since we had an alternator go bad on the Florida Turnpike & sat in a service center for 4 hours to get it repaired. Glad we left on Saturday instead of Sunday morning or we might have missed getting on board.
Found an off covered parking garage (United Parking) just a mile or so from the port for half the price of parking at the pier. Embarkation was fairly easy as we waited in line & went as smooth as could be with all boarding in the time frame they give us. Once on board, found our room & received our luggage soon after.
Overall experience was very enjoyable. Found the ship decor to be unique with Rosie's theme in the food area & castle theme in the theater. Great effect with the eagles theme in elevator areas. Loved the Presidents theme & murals in the atrium & lobby area. Food was great the whole cruise.
Cabin Review
Interior with Picture Window (obstructed views)
Wonderful inside cabin. Plenty of storage space. Room steward was great & kept the room in great order. Never had to ask for anything. Our biggest complaint was we were directly above the Casino small stage which every night the Philippino band & the screeching voices & loud music reverberated through the floor & walls till 1 AM. Should have had them in a lounge playing instead of outside the casino where a soloist would do better.
