the carnival valor

we had such an amazing time on our caribbean cruise.  it was a great vacation.  we loved all of the ports of call that we visited, and the carnival valor was an incredible ship.

our cruise ship held 2,980 passengers and 1,180 crew members.  there were so many things to do and to see on board.  we enjoyed the numerous pools and hot tubs, saw a ton of different shows in the theatre and the lounges, and of course ate way too much food.  (the food was so unbelievably good!)  there was even a 214-foot long water slide on board the ship too!

we took a ton of pictures while we were on the ship (and a ton of pictures of the food too)!  here are just a few of the photos that we took around the ship . . .
