Carnival Valor

Your high seas hero Carnival Valor is here to rescue you from ordinary vacations and whisk you away to leisure, fun... and amazing destinations. Kids can get caught up in all the excitement of being kids, hanging with others their age at Carnival Valor's three supervised youth spaces. Or they can join the wacky, wonderful Dr. Seuss bunch for character story-time (and more!) at Seuss at Sea. And pretty much anyone, young or slightly-less-young, will be thrilled by their 214-foot long, four-deck-tall Twister waterslide.

All Carnival cruises go to great spots... What sets each ship apart is how it gets you there. Every one of the Carnival ships features its own unique twist on Carnival-style fun. Here's your chance to dip a toe into onboard entertainment, activities, bars and more... so that when you cruise, you're ready to dive headfirst into the fun. Make the most of your evening with fun games, slides, delicious food, shows, drinks - and more - well into the night.

Carnival Valor Ship Activities

If you thought for a second your vacation might be boring, now you know not to fear - Carnival Valor has what it takes to save any vacation! Since Carnival is talking together-time, your whole bunch will never run out of stuff to do on Carnival Valor! Let's highlight some of the endless fun activities:

• Twister Waterslide: Above the ship you'll find the shining sun, but that's not all - basking in its rays is a gleaming symbol of fun, a monument to merriment... a sign of splashy-good times to come. Spot the spiraling Twister Waterslide atop your Carnival ship and you can be sure that your vacation comes complete with twists, turns and squeals of thrilled delight.
• Seuss at Sea: Enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favorite Dr. Seuss' friends and more. Seuss at Sea truly brings your child's favorite books to life.
• SportSquare: Take on friends at mini-golf, battle strangers at basketball, or push yourself to new heights at the Ropes Course, or to record-setting low times at the jogging track. SportSquare gets you in the game with soccer and volleyball (the b-ball court converts!), brings pool, foosball and ping-pong to the table, and rounds things out for shaping up with your choice of stationary bikes, elliptical machines, weight-lifting equipment and punching bags.
• Ropes Course: The chance to complete an awesome challenge, high above it all? Now that's what you want in a good ropes course. An awesome ropes course, however, will let you do all that with a cool sea breeze and a view to match!
• Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea: When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop At Sea, they use their little hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life. They can customize their furry friend from head to toe by choosing the bear, clothing and accessories.
• Bingo: Get ready to play some crazy-exciting, hoot-and-holler-if-you-win-big bingo! The prizes are bigger, the packages are more fun and there are even souvenir daubers to mark your numbers.
• Atrium: The entrance to the ship and to vacation itself - is your first impression of all the fun to come.
• Mini Golf: Ah, imagine a perfect day out on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole and nothing in between but well-manicured fairway.
• Art Exhibitions: Even if you don't "know" much about art, of course you can still tell when you like something - who needs a refined palette to know when a piece is good?
• Games: Play is essential to childhood development - that's what cognitive scientists (fully-grown adults without bedtimes) believe!
• Art Seminars: Go from 'normal vacationer' to 'world-traveling art whiz' in one cruise flat.
• Video Arcade: Video arcade boasts a huge array of games, and is open to players of all ages, all night and all day.
• Library: Forgot to bring a book? E-reader battery just died? Every Carnival ship features an onboard library stocked with the good stuff.

Carnival Valor Ship Dining

On your way on Carnival Valor you'll find onboard food spots designed to regale your palate, like BlueIguana Cantina and Guy's Burger Joint... plus the downright indulgent Steakhouse.

Guy's Burger Joint
Carnival went looking for someone to help grill up the best burgers at sea, and they found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the authentic appeal of a roadside burger shack to Guy's Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries. Try a fresh-off-the-grill burger Guy's way, or take it off-road to the toppings bar and truly make it your own.

BlueIguana Cantina
Nobody knows Mexican dining like a blue iguana. Well, Carnivals' very own blue iguana, at least. That's why it should come as no surprise that the BlueIguana Cantina features freshly made tacos and burritos stuffed specially for your enjoyment. Throw homemade tortillas and salsa into the mix, and you have a casual dining experience that will make you say "mmmm" (which is actually Iguanese for "more, please").

Steakhouse
Turn your special vacation in the direction of delicious - book a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the onboard Steakhouse. This menu features mouthwatering premium cuts of beef cooked to your exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrees, gourmet appetizers, and even a wine list that got the nod from Wine Spectator. (They actually call it the Award of Excellence.) The Steakhouse's atmosphere pairs remarkably well with, and perhaps even enhances, the culinary creations of the gourmet chefs.

Dining Room
"Hey, which side does the fork go on?" is a question you'll never have to ask at a dining room dinner aboard a Carnival cruise. Carnival sets the table for you. They also bring to the table a full three courses in an experience that's filling, but never stuffy - after all, you're just as likely to catch waiters table-dancing as you are to order dessert. Dessert's included (along with the rest of your meal, by the way) in your fare. But don't skip straight to dessert, because the main course is the main attraction - drop in daily and enjoy a rotating menu of delectable favorites like steak, roasted duck, scallops and prime rib.

Lido Marketplace
Featuring a variety of casual dining options like Chef's Choice, Salad Bar, Carnival Deli and more, the Lido Marketplace has something - or more likely, at least a few 'somethings' - to satisfy your craving.

The Chef's Table
Treat your taste buds to the experience of a lifetime, culminating in a sumptuous multicourse dinner hosted by the Master Executive Chef. Your VIP experience starts with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for a select group of 14, followed by a tour to see the galley in operation. The evening concludes with a mind-blowing full-service dinner of amazing appetizers, entrees and desserts not found on any regular dining menus.

Seaday Brunch
Slumbers can sleep in and still enjoy breakfast favorites, while early-risers get a head-start on lunch. And Seaday Brunch brings everybody's favorite mid-morning meal to your Carnival cruise, and does it right.

Steakhouse
Turn your special vacation in the direction of delicious - book a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the onboard Steakhouse. This menu features mouthwatering premium cuts of beef cooked to your exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrees, gourmet appetizers, and even a wine list that got the nod from Wine Spectator. (They actually call it the Award of Excellence.) The Steakhouse's atmosphere pairs remarkably well with, and perhaps even enhances, the culinary creations of the gourmet chefs.

Pizza Pirate
Tossing dough is an age-old art passed down the generations. Lucky for you, someone passed Carnival the secret to the perfect pie. While aboard, this is the place that will shiver your timbers and warm you to the bone, with a Margherita, Funghi, Prosciutto, Pepperoni or Quatttro Formaggi pizza served with a delicious Caesar salad.

Pizza Delivery
Any time of day, or night, pick your toppings, tell Carnival folks where on the ship you're hanging out and, optionally, take a selfie to help the delivery folks find you.

Mongolian Wok
Chow down on some delicious Asian goodness. First, select your noodles and veggies. Then tell one of Carnival's chefs which sauce and meat you want in the wok. Will it be mussels and Szechuan? Beef and Thai barbecue? Chicken and black bean? Don't worry, the decision doesn't have to be final - you can come back to Mongolian Wok and try all the combos your heart desires!

24-hour Room Service
So you're in the mood for some good eats, but you'd rather stay in your comfy, cozy stateroom? Really, who could blame you? Simply pick up the phone and order something tasty from the extensive room service menus. And since you get hungry when you get hungry, room service is available any time of the day (or night), and it's always delivered right to your door.

Carnival Valor Ship Bars

Let yourself be swept away to RedFrog Pub or Alchemy Bar for a drink, or get a little carried away rooting for your favorites at SkyBox Sports Bar. Carnival has flipped through dusty old texts to uncover enticing combinations: select spirits, fresh juices, infused syrups, spices, and other tantalizing secrets performed before your very eyes by the true mix-masters: the bartenders.

Alchemy Bar
No magic spells are required to enjoy a cocktail creation at Alchemy Bar, the unique vintage-themed cocktail "pharmacy" - all you need is a willingness to be surprised, to try something new. Choose a remedy from the menu, or let them prescribe you a custom elixir just for you, with or without alcohol.

Alchemy Martini Tasting
Gather your most delicately-palated friends and family to join you at Alchemy Bar - the premier onboard spot for a uniquely tasteful bar experience. Choose any four mini-martinis, selecting from flavors like Spicy Chipotle Pineapple, Curative Peach Cosmopolitan... or let them craft you a custom. And once you've found a favorite, you can make the full-size version your next order.

RedFrog Pub
Get into an island state of mind before you even set foot on one. RedFrog Pub is a laid-back, no-worries, oh-so-lively Key West-inspired pub. Sample Caribbean fare, dominate at the foosball table, enjoy some sweet tunes from live musicians and sip tasty signature private-label brew, ThirstyFrog Red. So kick back and feel the island vibe come to life. You'll be a local here before you know it.

RedFrog Rum Bar
Guests have told Carnival that they hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. Carnival has taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher.

BlueIguana Tequila Bar
BlueIguana Tequila Bar is the onboard spot to chill and enjoy a slushy tequila drink or an ice-cold Mexican cerveza. The menu offers up Mexican favorites, including several brands of tequila and a slew of Mexican brews. There's a lineup of frozen concoctions, cocktails and margaritas served by the glass or by the pitcher, and even a special Mexican beer cocktail (yes, really). Where can you find this little slice of Mexican paradise? Next to the pool, of course. So stay cool and take in the bar's vacation vibe while you kick back on your cruise - that's what official bar mascot Blue the Iguana would tell you.

Piano Bar
Play it again, Sam. Or Diana. Or whatever your name is. Because this is the bar where you call the shots, and the tunes. Hey songbird - pull up a seat, order your favorite cocktail and let your friendly piano player know what you'd like to hear. Then join the singalong for a hand-clapping, foot-tapping, finger-snapping good time. Don't feel like flexing your vocal cords? No worries - hummingbirds are welcome here, too. And since the bar's open from the evening until late at night, it's the perfect spot for an early drink or singing 'til the wee hours.

Casino Bar
Winning big in the casino is big fun, and your next stop is celebrating with a top-shelf drink. Located right off the casino floor, the casino bar serves up your favorite cocktails, beer and wine, making this the perfect spot to celebrate with family, friends, and maybe even total strangers.

Cruise the Vineyards
From the soft and fruity flavor of the Merlot to the light and dry Sauvignon Blanc, for those who appreciate wine, a Cruise the Vineyard package is a must. Choose from three packages featuring selections from Italy, New Zealand, France, Australia, Germany, California, Washington and Oregon. Sip and savor favorites at a discounted price - ask your Dining Room server how.

Cheers!
Salud, kampai, l'chaim, mabuhay... however you toast, they make sure you get to do more of it with Cheers!, their prepaid bar package. Bartenders bring you your drinks... but never the bill. Once aboard, sign up and enjoy the ease of one flat price for drinks throughout your cruise - now that's something to raise a glass to. (A few exclusions apply).

SkyBox Sports Bar
Get hands-on with a game, a drink? and high-fives galore! SkyBox Sports Bar gets you right onto the 50-yard line of onboard sports action. Grab a drink or order some snacks - they're great while kicking back and watching your favorite teams on one of the big screens, or just dropping by to check out real-time scores and headlines on the panoramic ticker.

Carnival Valor Ship Entertainment

On the entertainment front, Playlist Productions takes tunes you know and presents them in song-and-dance, up-on-stage spectacular shows. At Dive-In Movies, you'll never have to choose between making a splash and watching a favorite movie under the stars, up on the big screen. And the Punchliner Comedy Club will have you laughing your flippy-floppies off.

• Playlist Productions: Everyone has those perfect songs that never fail to get them moving. Playlist Productions brings lists like yours to life! Your favorites become full-blown musical productions featuring singers and dancers bringing down the house.
• The Punchliner Comedy Club: Comedy clubs on land... well, it's kinda funny. Nobody likes paying cover charges, and you know that two-drink minimum? They've gotta be joking! You won't find either of these at The Punchliner Comedy Club aboard your Carnival cruise.
• Dive-In Movies: Ready to see stars? Park yourself in front of the big screen - the really big screen - and settle in for some true stars with Dive-In Movies at Carnival Seaside Theater.
• Deal or No Deal: You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red button and a mysterious banker phoning in deals? Yep, you've seen it on TV, and now you'll find it on your next Carnival cruise.
• Karaoke: Believe it, you've got a rock star, pop idol or country crooner inside you. Let yours out aboard a Carnival cruise - take the stage and grab the mic because Carnivals' ears are waiting.
• Live Music: Want to rock 'n' roll every night and every day? Well, you've come to the right ship. Carnival brings some of the best performers on land out to sea for an ambiance that can't be beat.
• Nightclub: Get up and get down at the most happenin' club in the Caribbean. Carnival DJs are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's retro jams, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet.

Vacation is usually a good time to hit the gym. And Carnival has a great one to hit. Or, check out Carnivals' Spa rooms where the thermostat only has one setting: "perfect."

• Spa Carnival: When it comes to complete relaxation from the inside out, nothing beats a trip to the spa. From the minute you step inside, the soothing ambiance begins to work its magic. Renew yourself with premium beauty and wellness therapies, like hot stone massages, aromatherapy or full-body wraps.
• ZSPA: There's a lot to being a teen - they need to kick back, chill and sometimes even indulge just as much as adults... if not more! Carnival understands them, which is why they've tailored the onboard ZSPA treatments to their unique needs. ZSPA keeps teens looking their best from head to toe, with everything from trendy hairstyles to pedicures.
• Medi-Spa: If you've been thinking about Botox or Dysport treatments, this spa is a good place to do them. These are non-surgical, anti-wrinkle procedures that show results in days, and last for months, so you can keep enjoying the benefits even after you're back home.
• Fitness Centre: There's no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That's great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that a rejuvenating cruise is sure to generate.
• Fitness Classes: Whether it's yoga, pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there's a fitness class that'll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right.
• Jogging Track: Jogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don't have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise.
• Acupuncture: Whether you're looking to pinpoint a specific health concern or just searching for a different way to relax, Carnivals onboard, licensed acupuncturist's table is a great place to do it.
• Hair & Beauty Salon: A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, chat with others, to focus on yourself. It's about more than just getting your hair or nails done... but it's definitely about getting your hair or nails done!

When it comes to staterooms, one size only fits some. That's why Carnival has enough variety to satisfy any type of fun seeker.

• Interior Staterooms
  This is an affordable way to cruise without leaving out the comfort or convenience! Great for curling up after a long day of fun.
• Ocean View Staterooms
  A picture window gives you views of scenery you won't find anywhere on land, all from the comfort of your stateroom.
• Balcony Staterooms
  Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Valor.
• Suite Staterooms
  A Carnival Valor suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try a Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation.
