Carnival Valor Review

Additional details
We are back from our New Years Cruise on the Carnival Valor Jan 1-8, 2012.
I sailed with my Husband and two of my boys, and with close family friends and their 4 children. To sum it up it was a very nice trip.
We arrived in Miami on the 1st at 930am and waited for the other family to arrive at 1130, and together we got on a shuttle from VIP Shuttle Service that we prepaid for at a cost of $10 per person. Since there was 10 of us this was the way to go. We arrived at the terminal in Miami at 1pm and after an hour of long line ups we were in our cabins by 2pm. We quickly got rid of our bags and went for lunch up at the Lido....which was jam packed with people, but not hard to find a table for the 10 of us together. By the time we finished our lunch and headed back to the room, it was close to 3pm and our luggage was in our rooms...that was amazing...since there were 3000 people on board. Our Cruise was sold out. So we got changed into our SUMMER clothes.

It was mid ship, so close to everything. We never heard a thing being above the Promenade, like some reviews said. It was pretty quiet. There was a lot of storage space, so we emptied out suitcases put them under the bed and everything had a spot....so the surfaces were kept clutter free and easy to clean. The only thing we heard sometimes was the dinging of the elevators, which wasn't a problem.
It was a great location.
