Review summary

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This ship needs to be retired ASAP!!

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Horrible locals were rude. Food was horrible. The destinations were in heavily poverty therefore we couldn’t enjoy because locals were on beach begging us to purchase their goods after we already had done so from others.

Ship experiences

Buffet on ship cold everyday all day. The staff at buffet were rude. Better food was during evening dinner.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Cruise was horribly rusted. We wasted money getting a balcony we didn’t use do to rust stains. The room furniture was old and chipped up. The balcony door was broken.

Entertainment

Comedians and DJ were great. Nothing else was worth leaving the room for.

Horseback riding was ok. The poor horses need to be retired and fed.

Must have sailed on a different Valor than me. Our cruise on Valor was amazing. Best crew of any we have had. And the food in the MDR was delicious. I wonder if you really even sailed on her. I kinda doubt it.

If this is a legitimate review.....I feel sorry for the ppl that cruised with you and anyone that was unfortunate enough to be in your vicinity. I cruised the Valor in April and found it lovely....crew was friendly and accommodating. The ports were beautiful, the ppl were friendly. I too call BS!

It definitely sounds like cruising, and maybe not even travel, is for you since you did not seem to enjoy much of anything. I’m not sure how much you have traveled, but vendors asking you to buy things is very common in many of the Caribbean and Mexican ports and even in many US cities. A simple no thank you or just ignoring them is usually all that is needed. The Valor is an older ship, but most people have rated it at least four stars and have seemed to enjoyed it. We We’re on the Valor a few years ago and had a great time and thought the food choices were good and the food was excellent.
