CARNIVAL VALOR REVIEW, 04/23/06-04/30/06

This was my 4th cruise, all on Carnival: Destiny (2000), Triumph (2002), Victory (2004), and now Valor.

They changed us to a flight going through Charlotte (which makes much more sense). Unfortunately, the return flight home after the cruise was left going through Philadelphia (more on this later).
