Pool

It was great. We really enjoyed the pool especially my granddaughter

Cherry on Top

5 out of 5

My granddaughter was in heaven and couldn’t decide what she wanted. I ordered the mermaid towel and bag, mug and goggles to be in our room when she got there and they were. She loved them as well.

Shogun Club Casino

1 out of 5

I didn’t like the fact that I put my money in the machine but had to put it on my card to get it out. Somehow that ended up costing me a lot in the end. It’s hard to keep up with your spending.

Reff and Wah Wah were awesome. They went above and beyond to make us happy. Wah Wah made my granddaughter laugh and giggle and she just fell in love with Wah Wah.

If you love the valor, you will also love the newer ship with all the bells and whistles. I'll be cruising on the valor in 48 days for the first time. Can't wait to see an older ship.
