Just got back on carnival valor for the price and money it was just ok not the best cruise ever and was the worst cruise for me so far, but your at sea so can't complain about the view. We had a balcony cabin the bed was as hard as a rock. We did not get one full night of rest. When the air conditioner cut off room got really hot. You had control of how cold the air blowed but not when fan cut on off. The food was just ok there was not much to choose from. We were declined seating for elegant night because the airline lost my husband's luggage so he had no pants and even after explaining the situation still was declined. Staff was not as friendly as pervious cruises. Often was pushy when came to extra purchases. Almost like a foreign country. However we were upgraded for free got to visit some lovely island but have decided to stick to rccl. It is head and shoulders above carinval.
