Carnival Valor Welcome to my Carnival Valor Restaurants and Dining Food guide. This post will share information & tips about the many places to eat on the Carnival Valor and includes links to menus or further information, where possible. Carnival Valor has many complimentary/free places to eat onboard and some that cost extra so I have tried to note what is free versus extra throughout the post.
