Staterooms

Carnival Valor, like its predecessors, has the usual range of staterooms. Over 60 percent (910 to be exact) of the cabins onboard Carnival Valor have an ocean view; 555 of these have balconies. Inside- through verandah-category cabins are average to above average in size (insides measure 185 square ft.; verandah cabins begin at 220) and are outfitted with shower-only bathrooms, twin-to-queen beds, decent closet space (two cabinets with hanging bars and one with wide shelves), a vanity, a television with remote and a mini-fridge.

There are 42 suites and 10 penthouse suites. Penthouse suites clock in at 430 square ft. (the verandah alone measures 85 square ft.), and feature a dressing area with vanity sink, whirlpool tub, twin-to-king bed, VCR and wet bar (which isn't automatically stocked, however).

Note: Showers have a wraparound curtain as opposed to tight-closing doors, and we'll tell you this: Be sure it's pulled closed all the way. Embarrassing but true is the fact that I nearly flooded the whole bathroom during my pre-dinner shower my first night onboard (oops).

A nice touch? The amenity basket found in all cabin bathrooms has the usual Carnival touches -- ours contained his-'n'-hers disposable razors, Crest toothpaste, a Lever 2000 bar of soap and other brand-name goodies. Showers also have hand-pumps inside that are pre-loaded with shower gel and shampoo.
