Review summary

My daughter selected this cruise for her 16th birthday. Overall we had a nice relaxing time. The ship looked clean and smelled clean. The stateroom was spacious enough and our cabin steward was great. The selection of food was good. The ports of calls and the shore excursions were interesting and fun. The ship was extremely cold...personally I felt it was uncomfortably cold. Overall the entertainment was just enjoyable. The lead female singer was not entertaining at all. The magic show, illusionist, and some of the comedians were very good. The only downfall to this cruise was the lack of activities placed on the at sea days. There is only so much bingo and trivia a person can play when confined to a ship for 3 days.

Really love cruising on the Valor. We cruised on this ship in January and in June of this year and will be cruising on her again on September 17th. We packed two small fans for our June cruise because our cabin was not cool enough in January. Not taking any chances for the September cruise and taking the small fans again. Just wondering if the ac works better on certain decks. We will be on the Veranda deck this time and hope we never have to turn on the fans. Regardless, will continue to cruise on the Valor......we always have an awesome time.

We leave in sept. I don't think being cold will be a problem for me... After going on the sunshine last year we had a guy come by our room to check the AC.. way too warm in the room with the AC on the highest setting.... So Thankful to our room attendant that gave us a small fan... I have all ready bought one for this cruise... As for the entertainment I am look so forward to sitting by the pool with a few drinks....

We were on this cruise also and loved everything except for the entertainment. It needed a lot of improvement.
