The Valor was a great ship, plenty of rest areas and things to do. Staff was nice and listened great (though masks and accents are hard to understand in loud areas).

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Location from elevator was nice but from the engine and waves was awful in bad weather.

Ship tip

Rivera aft is bad for engine noises and movements. Sea sickness was high in our cabin. Also if you are in aft cabin and need to get to the lobby, you need to go up to 5 and over and down to 3. Or walk to mid or fwd on one and then up to 3.

Ports of call

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have read that lower decks - midship- are where you feel the least movent. Check out Bonine (or meclizine) for motion sickness. Sea Bands work well for me as well.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. Great ship tip, it took me a couple of cruises to understand that not all ships are configured the same way and that venues like theaters, dining rooms, and atriums block straight through access on some decks.
