Carnival Valor Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Our previous 8 cruises have been with Princess and have been mostly pleased with each one. This time we decided to try Carnival due our short drive from Houston to Galveston to catch the cruise as well as the 4-day cruise option offered by Carnival Valor. (Dec 22-26, 2017)
Overall, we were very disappointed with the cruise. It started out on the wrong foot. We had purchased the Faster To Fun package which expedites the onboarding process. This includes having your cabin ready as soon as you board. Our room was not ready and the stewards were unaware that our room was on the Faster To Fun list. Needless to say, we had to wait for our room to be finished before we could unpack.
There were rusted areas on our balcony and the glass balcony rail was very dirty. Windows throughout the ship were equally dirty.
Cabin Review
Balcony
There were rusted areas on our balcony and the glass balcony rail was very dirty. Our room steward left our trash unemptied and a used pool towel lying in the couch for two days. I have to use a CPAR and due to the lack of plug-ins, the steward had to bring a long extension cord to run across the entirety of the room floor to my side of the bed.
