Just a little background first.......there were 12 of us ladies on this cruise. Ages from 33 to 68.
Now, remember, this is just mine and the other 11 ladies opinions.....................I didn't get to do alot of what I wanted or planned as I was involved in an accident 5 weeks prior to the cruise and was just thankful to be able to go on the cruise.....so, this was a recovery cruise at best for me . The other 11 girls partied, danced and went to shows and was able to experience the Carnival Fun Ship. So here is all of our thoughts about the Valor.
Heading to the port of Miami: I had ordered 2 shuttles to pick us up at my house at 9:45 am on Sunday, May 6th. They arrived on time and we loaded the shuttles.......well, as stuff happens, one of the shuttles we had already loaded broke down and they had to call another shuttle in to replace that one. It took about 30 minutes and we were on our way to the port by 10:30. Arrived at the port at 11:00 and found the laziest porters in the world working at the Port of Miami. They didn't lift a finger to take out your luggage, which was ALOT, but expected to get their tip before they lifted a finger to THROW them in a bin that you had to walk your luggage over to. I could have done what they did and not had to pay them a tip.....but of course, that wasn't allowed.
