For my daughter's 15th birthday, my husband and I decided to take her on a cruise. She really wanted to go tot he Bahamas, so we found a ship that was headed to that part of the world during our Spring Vacation.

This was our first cruise and we didn't really know what to expect, but after reading many, many notes on Cruise Critic, we felt ready and excited. The Valor is a beautiful ship and the staff provided outstanding service. As our daughter was older, I can no comment on camp carnival except to say that when we arrived at the embarkation area, we noticed quite a few kids, but we never saw any of them on the ship! This might also be because we did not frequent the buffet on the Lido deck or enjoy much of what Rosie's had to offer as we loved being waited on by the quality staff in the dining room!

We had a wonderful balcony room on the upper deck (deck 6) in the forward part of the ship. We were unsure if the motion of the ship would bother us, and were pleased to learn that it did not. The room had more than enough space for the large quantity of stuff a teenage girl (ok, and mom) can bring with them, but we did not ever feel crowded. The bathroom at first blush seemed too small, but even that worked well and the water pressure in the shower was wonderful.
