Was group cruise. Carnival did the best they could considering we lost two ports due to weather would have rather stopped at Carnivals private island rather then Nassau. Only real problem Captain from Italy with thick accent difficult to understand. but followed up with repeat announcement by CD. As always steak house a plus. also MDR staff did a great job seating 22 plus for dinner every night and the food was above expatiation. Entertainment was good those kids work their tails off. Comedy show was a laugh a minute. Made our usual donation to the casino smoke is still an issue but that is the same problem on every ship with casino. Had to stop into infirmary because bride forgot some of her diabetic supply's and they had syringes she needed. Red Frog was a pleasant surprise as were the rest of the dry dock upgrades. All in all a great 8 days with ship mates aboard the Carnival Valor.
