Review summary

We had a great time on the valor. Lots to do and see. The ship is not huge but has some nice amenities like the 21+ serenity outside deck with cushy lounge chairs, hammocks, and quiet. The food was really good every night and we received efficient service although most servers are not super friendly. Excursions we went on were also a lot of fun and were well organized. Overall we give this ship two thumbs up!

Best cab driver in Barbados knows a ton about the history, etc of the island. His name is Henderson and his number is 246-235-1016. Tell him Courtenay and Nathan from MT sent you!

We love the comedy club but I do know they can get a bit raw. One show they had a woman that won the Mother' Night Out on Nick contest. What we saw could not be shown on TV and folks walked out. My sister can cuss like a sailor and she blushed. Yep that really bad. LOL!

I think some of the entertainment wasn't to our personal taste (comedy was a little raw for for instance) but we did really enjoy some of their things Carnival Legends and the juggling. Also, the staff, with a few exceptions, really wasn't very friendly. I think a warmer reception would have made us feel more welcome and at home.

Glad you had a great honeymoon. What would have made this cruise a 5 star vacation? Keep Cruising!
