Review summary

Our travel group was pleasantly surprised by the improvement

In menu selection as well as the quality of the prepared food

In the dining room. Lido deck dining was ok but Guys Burgers

Was very good.

We were disappointed to see the shows have returned to using

Thong costumes for the female dancers, maybe to hide their poor

Talent but makes it difficult when young people are in the showroom.

We left even though we had no kids with us. Missed out on a

Favorite part of our cruise experience but the display wasn't worth it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Though we had an inside cabin, we had an adjoining door with our friends and felt it was very spacious. Storage was limited but adequate for us. This cabin is over the area where a band plays outside the casino from 8-12! Too Be considered if you want to turn in early one night...fortunately they are very good🙃

Ship tip

The group playing outside the casino is very good. Fun to sit and listen or Even catch up on your dancing.

Yes the costumes have thongs but they are wearing thick pantyhose. It's an illusion of them being scantily clad. I have no problem personally taking my 3 yearolds to see the productions. My daughter loves the singing and dancing. But to each their own.

So they show a little skin. It's the human body. We all have one. How you perceive it is something you need to deal with.

This will be my first time in the valor. Is it inappropriate for 6 & 8 year old. Was in sensation last time and it was our first cruise and didn't know what all was there to do so we missed out on all the shows. Was really looking forward to the shows this time.
