Review summary

This was our first cruise. The purpose of our cruise was to marry our daughter onboard the Valor. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was fantastic. The food, drinks, wait staff where all exceptional! It was a great experience! We also were on board to celebrate my mothers 80th birthday. I would like to thank Katerina in the Lincoln dining room for arranging a Birthday dinner for my mother and family! This was definetly a Birthday to remember

The cabin was clean and the staff kept it that way! We choose not to order room service and spent most of our time away from the room, except to sleep!

We did the Salza and Salza excursion. We say a few historically sites in the city before we went to this quaint 20 room hotel. In the restaurant we made two kinds of salsa and one dish of quacamole! We also ordered lunch and it was fantastitic. We then learned the Salza in the back garden.
