jjmsbu09 Posted August 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2016 We're on the Valor in 19 days. We heard some months back Valor would switch to American table in September. Does anyone know if this is correct? If so when? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mfunnye Posted August 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2016 We sailed on the Sunshine in March and didn't like the new menus at all. Was hoping the valor would still have the old menu for our cruise this March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspin1267 Posted August 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2016 John has confirmed to me(10 min ago) via the site that shall not be named that Valor will be getting American Table in September. He will have the exact date of the switch over for me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paper1122 Posted August 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Don't they have to switch the tables to do this? I would have thought this would have been something that would have been done during drydock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbsey Posted August 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Kinda disappointed in this September info. We board 9/17 and was hoping for the old service. I am really concerned now because if we are on the first cruise with the new service I am sure there will be problems with the conversion. UGGGG.

hoss23 Posted August 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi: I dont think the Valor is getting the American Table this year. He stated last month they were not getting it. One hour ago he said he has gotten conflicting answers from different people so he was calling the ship direct, and would post when he finds out. The main reason I dont think they will get it, is because they would need either new tables or table tops to proceed with the mostly non table cloth dinners. I dont think they received these in the dry dock. At any rate, we should no soon enough. We are on the 9/9/16 cruise. After having had both menus, we hope we get the old ones. Personal choice, but we like them better then the american Table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my question and his reply to my question from today: Me:Saw a question/rumor on another site wink emoticon;-) that Valor was switching to American Table/American Feast in September. Is that true? and if so do you know when? Thanks again for all you do.

Hobbsey Posted August 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Someone from another site has said they have information that the ship will be converted for the 9/9 departure. I too was hoping that this was taking place after the first of the year. Oh well, more bread for everyone else at the table..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysBalcony Posted August 22, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 22, 2016 This will be interesting as we are on B2B 9/4 and 9/9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerXU Posted August 22, 2016 #13 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've also heard that the transition date is Sept. 9. Hope they iron out the wrinkles (obviously not in the tablecloths....hah, sorry, I couldn't resist!) before our group boards on Sept. 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbsey Posted August 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 22, 2016 This will be interesting as we are on B2B 9/4 and 9/9. Yes, if indeed you get both styles of service back to back it will make for an interesting review. Enjoy, and keep the ship in good shape for us. We'll wave as we pass on the gang way.
