We've been on the Valor two times and she is a great ship. I love the patriotic theme. We've always gotten great service and the crew is amazing.

Thought Valor was one of the best cruises we have taken. We don't feel we have to be treated as royalty. Yep the ship is old but they have kept up with the times with the dry docks. Why would the age of the ship keep one from having a great time?

We sailed the valor twice last year had no problems. We had a wonderful time on the ship each time.

We took a sail last August on her with over 100 people in our group, not one did not enjoy their cruise.

Sorry the ship was outdated. Just think what a blessing you have of taking your family on a wonderful trip! You were able to see the ocean, smell the salt off the waves, be in the sun and feel the rays. Lots of people can't afford to travel or even see or hear the way the waves sound at night. That's all

Sailed last year on the Valor, a couple of months after dry docking. The best part to me was the adults only pool, especially at night during the shows. It was empty! And it has a retractable roof, so bad weather be damned!

we sailed Valor last year right before she went into dry dock......it was a great ship then and I can't imagine it would be anything but now.

I've read good and bad reviews about the Valor. We cruise on October 2 and I'm going in with a positive attitude knowing this will be our best cruise yet. I feel a cruise is what you make of it. This will be our 4th. 2 on the Triumph, 1 on the Breeze and this one on the Valor. I think there'll always be hiccups but I don't know how anyone can have a "bad" cruise!!
