I believe it will be valiant lady. I’ve tried searching and so far have found short sailings from Portsmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardenbunny50 Posted December 10, 2023 #277 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We tried VV February 2023 after our TA was invited on board and she was not sure if they would like it. She had a good time, liked the not typical cruise ship food program and asked a few of us to try it. No complaints, it was nice and we had a good time…BUT, just not the cruise style that I like. Which is what I tell people all the time - there are so many choices for budgets and your style - if you don’t do your research before you book, then buyer beware. I mostly missed the entertainment of an X, Celebrity, Azamara, Princess, Cunard styles (lines I typically use). I am not a foodie, so I prefer the more choices you get in a MDR as opposed to speciality restaurants. We are not balcony people, prefer to be out on decks or around lounges, piazzas, quiet nooks, etc - we use a cabin for sleep, bathing and changing clothes. As my son once said to me - Mom, you use a cruise ship as transportation to get to your destination - so you unpack once. He was right - since we retired in 2012, we have seriously used cruising for 2 world cruises (each hemisphere, So. America and Antarctica, northern lights in Norway, Med/Europe, Alaska, Canada/New England. So much has changed since Covid - the pandemic affected every country, every industry, cost of everything, everything about daily life - tough times for sure - I am just happy to be back traveling again. Wherever you go on whatever cruise line you choose, whatever budget you can afford - just enjoy life - because everything can change in the blink of an eye 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
