Review summary

It was our first cruise and safe to say we are addicted now already looking for the next one. The valor and her staff was amazing. Cozumel was great we did a beach day and then saw some Mayan ruins and cenotes in Yucatán. Can’t wait to cruise again

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Port was easy to find, we parked there it was 100 dollars for a five day cruise, it was our first time so it was a little hectic but only because we did not know what to expect. Everyone was super nice and helpful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was amazing, mdr was amazing and was not slow, lido buffet was always hot and had good variety

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Talent on the ship was great you could always find live music and the shows were entertaining. Gustavo in the piano bar was one of our favorites

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Some may find some of the design choices a little dated or weird but overall a beautiful ship. Doesn’t have much of a waterslide which isn’t a big deal for us but might be for others

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfortable, housekeeping did a awesome job
