Disappointed

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Valor

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

We chose this cruise because we were invited by friends and we have cruised on other Carnival cruises before with great experiences. We were disappointed to see the rough shape of the ship. The carpet is very worn and dingy. The windows were cloudy and hard to see out of, the decore is very out of date and reminded us of Disneyland's "It's a small world" ride. The main dining menu had very little ...

Having been on Carnival Cruises before several times, I knew what to expect and had tempered expectations as this is not my favorite cruise line. We had to choose a last minute vacation that we could drive to and not need a passport. I was pleasantly surprised by a few things and we really enjoyed our family time but we will not be returning.... Embarkation - Departing from New Orleans ...

Family Fun Time on a Fun Ship

We selected a Carnival Valor cruise, because the New Orleans port was easy for all of us to get to and a five-night cruise seemed to be the right length for both the first-time cruisers and the "gold status" cruisers. The ship was packed, and you could really notice that on embarkation day and in between the end of early dinner and the beginning of late dinner, as well as at some of the bars in ...

Great First Time Cruise for 8 Year Old

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

I chose this cruise because it departed from New Orleans, home of my daughter and grand daughter, an 8 year old. I wanted her to have a fun time exploring the ship and enjoying the daily activities of cruising, so I wasn't concerned that it was full of children's activities and toys or the fanciest ship with best food. The trip began with ease as we checked in at our scheduled time without ...

Lousy cruise

This is the sixth cruise we have taken with Carnival. This was BY FAR the worst cruise we have ever taken. * The Valor appeared to be a run-down, aging ship. Stats show it to be 19 years old but appeared much older. * We voiced our dissatisfaction to Guest Services mid-cruise but never received any follow up to our concerns. * Our last cruise was aboard the Mardi Gras and it was great. ...

Underwhelming and out of control

I chose this cruise based on my previous experience with Carnival and the destination. We got on board to back to back disappointments while trying to stay positive. I would say first, the FEW out of control guest who seem to want to make other guest their entertainment are the primary reason we will never take another Carnival cruise. These groups are typically those individuals who laugh and ...

Bedbugs

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was my very 1st cruise and it was booked for me for my birthday. It was for 4 days. Some of the foods were served cold and distasteful. That was fine. My main ussie was being attacked by bedbugs! I started i5ching day 2! By the time we got back I was swollen, itching and red on my arms, legs and ear. I made an appointment and it was confirmed that it was bedbugs. I had to get a shot and ...

I chose this ship because the terminal was within driving distance. I took my brother on his first cruise. This was my 8th cruise, but the first on Carnival. We had a blast since we have fun regardless of situations. The service on this ship was nonexistent on the pool decks and in seating areas around the ship. I requested two twin beds in the cabin and this was not addressed before we boarded. ...

Worst Cruise Experience Ever

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

I chose this cruise because I was off for Spring Break and needed a refresh. I have been on other Carnival cruises so this wasn't a first time cruise. First off, there were no welcoming vibes at all on the ship. Some staff were friendly but most weren't. The highlights were the port day excursions. The down side was too many kids running in hallways and making lots of noise. This is pure misery ...

DO NOT believe the negative people here, unless you're one of 'em

I am only writing this review to counter some of the "everything was terrible" people here. I sadly read a LOT of those reviews on everything from restaurants to movies to everything in between, and I honestly believe people enjoy complaining more than just relaxing and enjoying whatever activity they are involved in. Sad, but I guess that's the new world we live in. As for the cruise, we ...
