Review summary

This our 2nd cruise on the ship and it was as good as the 1st. The reason for the 4 stars in casino was for the drink service.

Onboard Activities

Pools were a little cool. Heck it is January with Galveston being 36 degrees when we left. Casino wasn't to smokey the dealers were friendly and good. The 80's show was ok.

Shogun Club Casino

4 out of 5

It was good even though they kept some of my money. The last night of cruise they did not have enough drink servers to handle the full house. it took nearly an hour to get a drink. That is the reason for the 4 stars.

Entertainment

Enough room for two. Loved the balcony even though it was a bit chilly. Our room steward kept it very clean and everything was in working order.

Ship tip

This ship's interior decor is amazing. Take some good long looks and you can see the theme of the ships name Valor. Eagles lounge, Lindy piano bar, Shogun casino, Ivanhoe theatre, Lincoln dining, Washington dining, Atrium America all have to do with Valor.
