I have sailed on the Valor twice, I found it to be very informative and pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadci Posted December 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks for posting this. We're on the Valor in May and enjoyed reading the article! We are as well. Which date? As for the review, pretty good. I read a lot of reviews of all sorts of different things. What a lot of people tend to forget is that they don't know what their server, steward or otherwise's day is like. They don't know if that person just missed the birth of their first child or the death of their parent. That goes beyond cruising to anywhere in life. One can argue that we pay for their service and expect them to put their troubles aside to provide top quality everything. Are we really that selfish? I know I've been guilty of it in the past but I found myself feeling bad for my own behavior and try a different approach, I expect very little out of anyone or anything... I usually don't go away disappointed anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awowwalton Posted December 29, 2009 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I've been on one cruise, and it was on the Valor. I loved it. I hope someday to go cruising again! Maybe this time I'll find one with some rock climbing on the ship for the "fun" days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarribbeanTina271 Posted December 30, 2009 #11 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Steve Congrats on your first cruise!! The Valor is a beautiful ship!! Make sure you find the fish and chips(delish!!) above Rosy's Restuarant.. Try Sushi is it free!! If you don't like a dinner entree order something new..it is ok!! Don't try to do everything your first cruise, it isn't possible!! Just be prepared to become addicted!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice ahead of time would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year. Steve Hey, Steve! Cruising solo on Valentine's Day? Sounds wonderful!:) I'm sure you'll have a great time and get to know lots of new people. Be sure to go to the dining room for both breakfast and dinner. You'll have a chance to meet new people every day at breakfast and you'll be able to get to know some of your fellow passengers a little better at dinner. I agree with Tina about the fish and chips place being good, but I only tried the fried fish filet and french fries. If you like to dance, check out the disco. It's always a lot of fun. Have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelax Posted January 6, 2010 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hello all, Thanks for the replies. I have already booked all my excursions. Very excited. Printed out the capers from the Sept. 09 cruise to get an idea. Went to Cabo for New Years last year after divorce solo and had an unbelievable time so I figured this would be a good next trip out. It is freezing here so can't wait for it to get here. I am keeping all ideas in mind. Thank you all again and if you think of anything else, keep em coming.
