Good Food, Good Times and Good Slots
Ship style and entertainment….different from other cruise ships which we both enjoyed. Captain and crew were very friendly and easy to reach. Shawna Cruise Director and her staff were terrific! Harry Casino Mgr was friendly but extremely busy since ship was at full capacity and weather for the first 4 days was not typical for the Caribbean. Wind and rain forced almost everyone indoors making the casino more crowded.
No Jackpots but 4 nice line hits….$1K, $900, $700 and $600 making this trip a wash.
Thank you Blue Chip and UR Comped.

Virgin Voyages will not have Sea Pass Cards, but instead, passengers will use their wearable (which they'll receive no later than 2 weeks prior to sailing). Within the casino, Virgin provides tablets on the tables for you that you scan your wearable to tap in and tap out if you want to get rated. The same process is done with the slot machines with a tap in/tap out process. The wearables also escalate the check-in process, the same application applies.

Whoo hoo Freedom Fun
Hands down, Malcolm WhoHoo burns is the BEST cruise director on any ship. Everyone feels welcome. Everyone has fun. Everyone is included in his fun. We traveled on the Freedom for my husbands birthday. Interior room was perfect. When you gamble ling enough to close the casino down, you dont want sunlight waking you up. This was the ship we learned heads up poker. Over 7 days, 4 new friends, drank the ship out of tequilla and pineapple and on the then it happened! I saw something I had never seen before. Lady next to me betting all green chips, all spots, she hit a flush at our table. The casino was closing down when it happened. Watching all of the suits appear out of no wherr and the display of cards and the details that went into the payout was memorizing!!! I'd be willing to watch that over and over. I'd be happy to accept a tray of chips too. Absolutely amazing trip. Wish I could gamble with that group again.

Valor Fun
We hace sailed Valor twice. (Feb 2017 and October 2017) february was our first Valor cruise and we traveled with a large group of about 40 people and enjoyed the patriotic theme of this ship. We had a grand suite this trip. The room was HUGE and so was the balcony. The steward was attentive and kind. The October cruise we had an interior room. It was smaller but the staff was just as attentive.
My husband and I hit the casino area as soon as we got on the ship. We have discovered we meet more gamblers at the casino bar day 1 than the people that roam around the ship and explore. Always a great time. During both cruises, we won some and lost some. In October, the casino host, Kyle,was a lot of fun. He got to know us very well. Heads up poker is our game of choice. I wonder though if Carnival put our points together because we were both gambling at the same table? We were betting about $75 each hand (each player) and did t get a bkunce back offer. That part was disappointing. It seems the casino is tightening their belt for some reason.
