Carnival Valor Review

Additional details
For the price paid for the balcony room on the Lido deck, you couldn't beat it. We have been on 12 other cruises of which 8 were balconies,and this was the cheapest we have ever paid for a balcony.....so to Carnival, a big thank you.
I could go on a day by day breakdown but will refrain. Instead, some of the great, the good, the bad, & the ugly.
On the great side, our MDR waiter Gerald from the Washington dining room, THE BEST !!!!!!! Never did the gentleman miss the chance to call us by full name and remember EXACTLY what we liked or not after the first night. Incredible !!!!! He was by far the best in all our travels on the sea.
Cabin Review
The room was decent and the attendant was pretty good, not the best we have had, but pleasant and did a good job though did miss our room one day of service. the carpet could stand to be replaced and the balcony was smaller than other lines, but it was functional and served it's purpose. It was a very good location with no obstructions. I do think we were near the water main line for the kids pool slide, because we kept hearing some strange water flow noises every so often. After awhile we got use to it like it was suppose to be there. Not a huge deal...just strange. We were also a few doors from the laundry area which was very convenient. By the way, don't try to bring a travel iron on board, ours got taken at embarkation. Never thought of it as a hazard, but I understand where they were coming from. We got a receipt and picked it up on the last day. the iron in the laundry room was a very good one, so no big deal there. I would stay on this level again, maybe just a few rooms further down away from under the pool/slide.
