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

Everyone was friendly and helpful

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

Do they do anything special for New Year? We'll be cruising the Valor for NY 2021.

Kevin was probably my favorite cruise director. He kept the cruise lively and always let us k kw what was going on.
