Carnival Valor Review

Additional details
Hope this helps to dispel in some cases and confirm in others facts regarding the Valor's Staff and Accommodations. I'll try and be as objective as possible to help those who are considering a future sailing on the Valor.
We have sailed on 23 prior cruises which include Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Azamara. In the past, we avoided Carnival due to their not so stellar reputation for adults looking for a relaxing vacation with amenities. There is no particular order to the list but more of what comes to mind as I reflect back to the May 12th sailing.
Embarkation is slow and reminded us of cruises from the late 90's. We arrived around 11:30 and lines were long and slow. If you've traveled on the Oasis with 5,000 hungry and energized boarding passengers you'll really appreciate the effort RC has put into the getting onboard experience.
Cabin Review
Interior
We had an Inside Stateroom Mid Ship Deck 7. The room was spacious compared to other ships. The temperature remained a bit on the warm side. We contacted housekeeping on the first night but the problem remained during the entire cruise. Be prepared for the card swipe safe vs. touch pad.
