Carnival Valor Cruise Reviews

Embarkation Day: My husband and myself decided the Southern Caribbean would be the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. When we arrived in San Juan PR we headed straight to Pinones for some Alcapurria (deep fried heaven) before going to the Carnival Valor. We are Platinum status with Carnival and enjoyed our private check in. The first night on the ship was fantastic. The sail away deck party ...

From start to end, the cruise was amazing. My partner and I were looking to get away and see as much as possible with time constraints as she's a student and has a son back at home. While looking for dates and locations, this itinerary couldn't be beat! I have traveled previously on Princess before and this was my second cruise. My partner though, had never traveled like this before. Flying on ...

We are platinum members so we have some cruise experience. My wife is retired and I still work in education. This limits the time we can travel. We booked this cruise through Carnival and probably should have booked air through them. We paid $1000.00 for a round trip on Jet Blue. JFK to San Juan. We arrived at SJU on the 25th at 2 pm. We had a problem my wife needed a wheelchair and we waited 40 ...

This cruise was very nice, getting on board was super quick, cabins were ready at 1:30pm when we boarded. I had 2 bottles of wine in my carry on luggage and they let me go right through, also make sure you bring bottles of water as they are expensive on the ship. We didnt buy the wine package, selection is too restricted. We went by the bottle and was graet. You get better service also when you ...

Our Honeymoon Cruise  Carnival Valor – July 7, 2013  San Juan – St. Thomas – Barbados – St. Lucia – St. Kitts – St. Maarten – Puerto Rico When my husband Ryan and I were discussing where to go for our honeymoon we tossed around plenty of good (and bad) ideas. Should we go to an all-inclusive and sit on the beach for a week? Would it be better to travel Europe or go someplace exotic? All along, my ...

We flew into SJU a day early and stayed at the Marriott Stellars Casino Hotel. It is a wonderful hotel. They upgraded our room to the 19th floor and we had a corner room with a balcony wrapped around out one window is a beautiful pool are and out another is the ocean. We slept with the doors opened and it was wonderful. We stayed around the hotel and San Juan is noisy and crowded but the hotel we ...

My husband and I cruised from Barbados with two teenagers 3 years ago on Carnival Victory. This time we cruised with friends who haven`t visited the Caribbean before. We thought this would be the best way for them to see so many islands combined with hotel stay in Barbados as Carnivals ittinery was the best although they have dropped Dominica since last time which allows for a sea day. The ...

Carnival Valor Cruise, Southern Caribbean- July 7-14 Welcome to our cruise experience. Since I wanted way more information about the cruise before I boarded (ok, so Im a control freak!), I took notes to help future cruisers like me. Our perspectives are from Vegetarian, Bird-Loving Seniors. Would We Go Again? Absolutely! We loved the cruise. We loved the ship. The personnel were all friendly ...

Hats off to great staff: Felipe (cruise director), Kristi/Andy/Erik in Washington Dining Table 311, and Andy in housekeeping. I have been on 24 cruises (all with Carnival, and dating back to 1995), and though I was just on Valor for NYE, we elected to return on the same ship (great cruise director, Felipe) solely for this new itinerary for Valor. Of all the ports of call, I had only visited St. ...

This is our 3rd cruise on the Carnival Valor. The previous was 5 years ago. Providing my review in hopes it helps someone else. My mistake: We threw this vacation very late and I didn't have much time to plan. The airfares I was finding on a travel website were significantly more expensive than the price Carnival was offering. I didn't think about the fact that SW airlines rates are not on this ...
