Now, i dont like this one bit, Carnival should put the Valor were she could stike up some compition with RCCL, like Baltimore, Boston (which would be a new homeport for Carnival), Philly, Jacksonville, just about any city by the sea, but Miami would do (also Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral would not work for me).Where would you like to see the Valor sail out of besides Miami?

In the meantime, I can see my family going on the Valor next spring or summer. We have never been to Belize or Rotan! Oh well! Guess that will have to be after Mariner of the Seas and Carnival Miracle!

true, but if my memory serves me right, Bostonians did not really welcome the Destiny too well...passengers had a lot of issues when a shaft (i believe) broke. I remember watching people on the news say they would never sail with Carnival because they were treated poorly. On the other hand, NCL now has a great foundation in the Boston area...especially with the Norwegian Majesty

The Valor's Western Caribbean itinerary is the same as the Paradise's. The Eastern Caribbean itinerary is slightly different. The Paradise's route is:
Maimi to Nassau, La Romana Dominican Republic, and St. Thomas.
