Extensive makeover adds variety of popular dining and bar concepts
Carnival Valor underwent an extensive renovation in April 2016 that added a variety of popular dining and bar concepts, including Guy’s Burger Joint, RedFrog Pub, SkyBox Sports Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Tequila Bar and Alchemy Bar.
The new spaces were added during a dry dock that began 23 April and ran through to 8 May.
