About Carnival Valor
Carnival Valor
The Ship. Built in 2004 and refurbished in 2011, the Carnival Valor is a member of Carnival's Conquest class of cruise ships. She weighs approximately 110,000 tons, and accommodates about 3,000 passengers. The 2012 upgrade added a number of new themed bars and restaurants as well as a comedy club designed under the guidance of comedian George Lopez.
Dining. Dining options are centered around two large, elegant main dining rooms serving breakfast, lunch, dinner; and Lido Deck restaurants serving buffets, deli food, 24-hour pizza, as well as lighter fare. Specialty restaurants include Guy's Burger Joint (inspired by chef Guy Fieri), Mexican restaurant Blue Iguana Cantina, and the upscale Scarlett's Supper Club (available for an extra charge, but reputed to be well worth it). 24-hour room service is also provided at no charge. A sushi bar is usually available 5-8 each evening, but times can vary.
Daytime Activities. Water activities aboard the Carnival Valor include three swimming pools plus a kids pool with three waterslides (including one slide that twists and turns for more than 300 feet!). Duty-free shopping is available onboard, as are other entertaining activities and get-togethers throughout the day. In addition to an Internet cafe, WI-FI is available throughout the ship.
Spa and Fitness. The full-service onboard spa and salon provides a variety of relaxing treatments and therapies. The spa's signature treatment is the Bamboo Massage, where warm bamboo shoots of various sizes that have been soaked in essential oil are used to roll and massage away tension. An outdoor sport court and jogging track are supplemented by a fully-equipped gym that offers weight and cardio equipment as well as fitness classes.
Nighttime Entertainment. Nightlife abounds in more than twenty onboard bars and lounges featuring different styles of live music, often including everything from rock to jazz to blues, to an old-fashioned sing-along piano bar and karaoke to a disco pumping out dance music into the wee hours. The grand, multi-tiered theater presents Broadway-style revues featuring the ship's talented cast of singers and dancers, and a large casino offers a variety of games when the ship is at sea. Poker games and tournaments are also staged throughout each voyage. Passengers can also watch movies under the stars on the 270-square-foot LED screen overlooking the main pool area.
Kids. The Carnival Valor also offers Camp Carnival, Carnival's renowned kid's program, which keeps kids from 2-11 engaged in play activities as well as movies and pizza parties during the day and even into the evening (for a small fee) to give parents some time alone). Carnivals teen programs provide a fun and safe environment for teenagers to meet other kids their own age for video game tournaments, parties and other activities. A large onboard arcade is also available separate from the kids club areas, and a mini-golf course on the sports deck adds to the fun.
