Valor Western

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm on the Valor this Aug. 20th, for the Western run. Does anyone knows if we tender at any of the ports? I've only cruise once before, last year with Destiny from San Juan. All of the ports on that run were regular ports.

 

Thanks,

I sort of like the tenders. Don't worry, if the sea is too rough they won't risk anything and will just cancel the port of call.

 

In March, on the tender to Belize, the seas were pretty choppy. The tender pilot had to try and maneuver to the dock several times. Once alongside the dock, the boat was kicking like a bronco. I just timed the waves to hop off the boat at just the right time. There were staff to assist people getting off. I felt sorry for some of the older folks who were not too steady on their feet, it must have been tough for them. Everyone made it safely onshore, AFAIK.
