I’ve cruised a few times and upcoming on the Vista, but so far the Valor is my least favorite. Just because someone doesn’t like a particular ship doesn’t mean cruising isn’t for them.

I didn’t like the Valor either. Food was ok but she’s starting to show her age. They do a good job keeping it clean, just need to update the cabins.

I thought the food was good when I went in June..not a small ship.

I'm happy to eat ANYTHING I don't have to cook or clean up. Cruising is the only time I'M catered to and NOT doing the catering to.

A CRUISE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT. You can be happy and positive or you can look for something to be unhappy about.

I enjoyed the valor when I sailed on her. 🤷‍♀️ If you think the ship is small, you have 2 cruises upcoming on freedom, the ships are same size....

I thought the ship was perfect! We just went in July. It was fabulous.

I live in Cuero Texas, if the food is 1 iota better than the slop our restaurants serve then I’ll be in heaven, I eat mainly salads & a diet to fight cancer ( I’m eaten up with turvillious (sic) adenocarcinoma, I don’t care about sauces etc, I grew up in Louisiana, I want clean good food, I was told I’ll be happy. Buffets have buffet food, if you want fine dining then the restaurants there are excellent from every review that I’ve read. Only thing I’m gonna miss is my owl hooting at night, like he is right now.

How can you say Valor was small...but you were on it before and you have 2 cruises on her sister ship Freedom coming up?
