No one tells you about the required drill where you are all packed into one place for 45 minutes with no wind or vents on.

On our cruise last June during the muster drill they had me and my wife sit in the dining room and do the drill because of my not being able to stand for a great length of time. Maybe this year on the Freedom we will be able to stand or not. Will have to see when we get there.

Loved the Valor it was our first cruise last June. Had a blast. Best service you could ask for . Room was clean and the food was great.
