New Carnival Valor Full Ship Tour Deck by Deck - Ultimate Cruise Ship Tour 

Most people fail to realize that even though gratuities are automatically placed on your sign and sail receipt, they are NOT mandatory. You can opt out and pay what ever you deem necessary to each worker during your stay instead of letting the cruise line force you to pay a predetermined amount. The cruise lines use the automatic gratuity fee as means to pad their profit margin by not paying their workers a livable wage and to shame their customers into mitigating their unfair compensation policies. Being an accountant for 2 major cruise lines, I know that only 20 - 25% of the pool of gratuity payments actually go to the workers. The rest is kept by the cruise line as miscellaneous profit. So, the next time you book a cruise and see the option to "pre-pay" for gratuities or see it on your final bill, you will know that only a small portion of it is actually going to the worker.

I think this is the ship we’re going on this summer. docking out of New Orleans.

Me, my wife, and two boys will be setting sail in July! This has definitely been one of the better and more enjoyable Carnival Valor ship tours to watch! We’re definitely looking forward to it! Thank you!😊

GREAT Video........Very well done! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, my hubby and I will be on in June. This helped alleviate some of my nosy tendencies and anxiety...lol

Thanks

It's my first time seeing one of your videos... and great job!! It's well produced and doing a simple tour without a lot of personal reviews or opinion, is perfect really. The positivity is refreshing. Thank you! - Dan B (we do mostly Disney cruises because we love the rotational dining and staterooms, but did the Valor out of Miami in 2011 with extended family, and had fun!)

Classy video ! Well done!👍🏻😊

Debbie! Love the editing you did on this! Really great tour! Josh and I loved it!

Absolutely great tour! Best I've seen 💙

We are sailing on the Valor this week! Your breakdown was very thorough and well done!! Thanks for all of the info!!

You did amazing!

I’m currently going to this cruise this year! Super excited!!

Like a few others, I’ll be on in June! Can’t wait!! First time on the Valor. Thanks for the vid!

Thanks for Sharing ❤ 🥀 😎

January 2024 will be my first time on the Valor. I did a previous cruise on the Triumph before she was retired. Felt pretty special to be part of her last voyage! Looking forward to making many memories on this beauty! Thank you for the amazing video!

Sailed on this ship when I was a kid back in 07 or 08. Beautiful ship!

The valor had the right itinerary and sail date. I just needed the review! This would be my first cruise.

I’ll be boarding this ship next Monday and I am so excited!

I will be on the Valor in August 17 until the 21st..excellent video! ❤

Will be on Valor in 52 days and will be my 3rd time on that ship. Great video of a great ship!

Great job! I'll be sailing on August 21st 🎉

Great job! I will be sailing on the Valor in May 2024. Looking forward to it. I actually like the smaller ships better. ❤

April 17th, can't wait. Thanks for the ship tour sister. Bless you 🙏

Great tour! We will be on her May 1st!

wow havent seen this cruise in a while

I was on the Valor in 2005 when it was the newest ship in their fleet. That was my only time on the ship, or any cruise ship. It's undergone a refit (probably several) since then. Looks totally different than what I remember.

My new favorite ship.

Used your video on my page it was a great tour. You did great work. 🥰

What's a great place to meet up with friends.. have a moment to ourselves

Will be there in May 😊. I can’t wait 🎉

Can’t wait sailing in October

That intro.... wow. lol. Didn't see that coming.

This is very similar to the Carnival Liberty out of Port Canaveral I’m glad I won’t get lost on this ship

I went on the same boat a month ago I enjoy myself

That main dining room was the Lincoln Dining room. The one you called the aft dining room, is the Washington Dining room. There are a few other things you missed also, but not much. A few dance floors, some serious neglect on the dining options such as the Mongolian grill, but other wise, an ok tour.

We have a 30 person group sailing on the Valor in June!!! Can't wait!!! This will be cruise 🛳 #6 for us, all on Carnival.

3rd trip on the Valor this June. We have taken other ships, but this one is our favorite. Not sure exactly why. It just seems more energetic.

Looking at a trip spring break 2024…I know SB can be busier but wondering your thoughts on the Valor because she does have less “slides” and kids pool area, maybe it would be more “adult”SB? I’m with all my kids and hubby so I can make fun out of any trip…just wondering.

Great video and info! My wife and I are cruising on the Carnival Valor in August! This video gave me a good idea of the layout. Thanks! By the way, are you from the Pensacola area also?

II enjoy this ship

Me and my dad were supposed to go on the valor in May 2020 but Covid had hit and it got canceled

We're going on the Valor November 4th. Can't wait. Excellent video. Is 5 days long enough to see everything on the ship?

Ok Deb, was disappointed to not see you on the Vloggers Cruise vlogs. And forgive me if I’m overstepping boundaries, but you seem to have gone to Carnival exclusively? I’ve been a follower of yours since your Minnesota Escape cruise!

Hi! We booked a balcony room were room 9222 I saw there are 3 kinds of balcony rooms how do you know which one you will get

Just sailed the Valor. I would never do it again on that ship. It’s older the food is not good except the burger 🍔 place the tacos. Some one got food poisoning off the buffet. The food was cold. I’m not being negative at all this was my first cruise and the people who usually go on cruises that were with us said they didn’t like that one. It’s was fun for me as a first timer however they really need to update it. And the ice machine was down the whole time. Also the time that they said places on the ship would be closed they did not go by that time they closed whenever I’ll give it 3 out of 5

Best tour video I've seen for carnival

I enjoyed the tour, but the music was too loud and very annoying. I could barely understand half of what you were saying. Thank you for posting.

I'm going in September for my birthday.😊

Is there only 1 outlet at the desk? And is it the same for interior room?

Me and my family will be cruise Thanksgiving 2023

What time of year were you on that cruise?

I'm going on this ship for the very first time for me w my dad and step mom for my graduation trip edit. This is not my first cruise I cruised w disney

Oct 2024, me and the Mrs are gonna do our honeymoon here

Can you get a non alcohol bar mix drink card

No Mongolian wok 😢 that’s my favorite place to eat!

Your picture looks like the Pensacola Beach fishing pier

This looks EXACTLY like the Conquest.

Going on this on June 10th!

How is the weather in the beginning of September?

Why was it so empty?

Wa are on the Valor for the 5th March 20th

I got whooped for loosing my moms waters aboard carnival valor.
