Review summary

It was the start of Covid19 so we were served at buffet. That was only difference we noticed except the poor service at MDR.

We had FTTF and still had to sit around and wait. No VIP Lounge. NOLA

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Worst dining room food we ever had on a cruise. Staff was too rushed and service was slow. Do not know what was going on during this cruise but MDR was awful. I had a pork chop I could not even cut.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

They took us in big circle to wait when we could have just cut through a closer, open door. It was chaos.

Been on Valor 3 times and am booked Nov 6. Have never had bad service on this ship, from Stewards nor MDR staff. Sorry you had a bad experience.

Sorry your cruise wasn't all you hoped for service-wise. Hope your next one more than makes up for it! 🛳
