  • In this episode, it's embarkation day for our Carnival Valor cruise out of New Orleans! Join us as we ride to the parking garage at the port, board the ship, then do a little ship exploring...
    We're sailing out of New Orleans on a double cruise adventure! First up, we're spending five days aboard the Carnival Valor headed to Cozumel and Progreso (Yucatan) in Mexico. We sailed from September 23-28, 2019 on this first leg of our grand back-to-back cruising adventures!

    We sailed on that ship back in August 2016 on a 5-day Bahamas cruise. Still one of our favorite cruise ships! I did a 1/2 dozen videos of that cruise. It was my 1st encounter with the Twilight Zone frozen cocktail boat drink! I do remember a LOT of Eagle statues around the ship too! Enjoyed your video. Nice to see this ship again!

    What you REALLY need to know: Pros- Red Frog Pub is great and chill, casino is great, food is good, Serenity Deck is a good spot, Cozumel is great, live bands on the ship are very good. Cons- all the cake, fried food, cookies and burgers creates a smell that eventually makes you sick by day 3, Progresso is a dump (do not disembark with your purse) The Valor pools are tiny, there are 500 people in every hot tub on the ship, and when the cruise is over, you will be in line with thousands of people sitting on floors because they make you get the fuck off the boat ASAP.

      Yep, there's a hairdryer plugged into an outlet in the drawer, but Dee usually brings her own. The ones on the ship usually require you to hold the button down the whole time you're using them, and they're not very high power. She has a travel one that she likes better, but you can definitely save the suitcase space and use the one provided.

    I like your videos. Something to to think about though. I never see anything about the smaller musical acts that perform 3 or 4 times a day, for 6 months at a time. The solo or duo acts. These kids give their heart and soul for the passengers, but never get any attention from you, or most cruise critics. Food?? Plenty of THAT! Give the little acts some attention please!

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  5 років тому

      Carnival used to have a nice future cruise program, but they gutted it somewhere around late 2016. Now you get the same offer online for two or three weeks that you would've received onboard, but there are some other perks that they discontinued completely.

    I'm starting to think Dee is your sibling, you look the same and act the same

      We've heard that quite a bit, but nope! Definitely not siblings, and from completely opposite coasts, hah... :P
