Review summary

I highly recommend doing a New Years Cruise . Kevin was a great Cruise Director . He kept the energy high and made our New Years great. The Valor is a nice ship with lots to do. From activities, shows to just wandering the boat. The weather was nice and warm as well. This will be a hard vacation to top

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was very clean, ship is dated but well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It’s dated but was clean. We took a fan based on previous reviews and we did need it. We opted for an interior since we spend such little time in the room

Ship tip

Get a program or use the app to follow the activities . There are so many things to do and see you don’t want to miss out

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We took the Mayan / Land Rover Excursions. Had a great time and glad we did. Progreso doesn’t have much to do at port so recommend you book an excursion or have a destination in mind when you go here.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I’ve always enjoyed Cozumel . It is a touristy port but has a lot to see and nice beaches

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Didn’t explore just went to the port to board

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Was in the car pulling out before 8 am . Was super fast if you choose the express checkout option
