Just got back from a cruise on the Carnival Valor. The whole experience was simply awesome. I read reviews on here prior to the trip and truthfully got a bit worried as I read so many negative things about the food and the ship, none of which were facts in my opinion. and anyone who would have complained on this cruise would find a reason to complain anywhere they went.
Here's my experience,
First off the ship was beautiful, well kept, clean and was never left bored or looking for something to do. Eating was very simple, in the 7 days on board the ship we ate at the buffet on the Lido Deck for breakfast, lunch and dinner and never once had to wait in line anytime we went to eat and the food was always awesome and was actually surprised as how healthy the choices were. And you could eat as much as you wanted, there was never a shortage for sure.
