Valor 9/24/06-Mini Review

[vesw01]

I will be posing a more extensive review at another time....

 

Embarkation- SWEET - first on the ship after VIP

Room - 8292-balcony - beautiful, roomy, well laid out, tons of storage (perfect location next to stairs for lido deck buffet)

Fountain Card - bought one for 2 people, still hard to get your $ worth

Dining Room - Washington 2nd Seating - Alejandro - WONDERFUL-table 327

Nassau - ok, not much going on - saw Atlantis - yes we did get there before 9am and saw The Dig for free - would not have paid for it

St Thomas - Sunny Liston - tons of fun - well worth the money, shopping is great

St Maarten - rented a jeep $70 for the day, top day, beautiful day, easy to drive around the island

Days at Sea - spent most time in cabin on balcony, some pool action

Piano Bar - Ron Pass is GREAT - we spent every night there

Shows - saw one, could live without, never returned - was in piano bar

Food - fine, nothing great that I can comment on

Scarletts - if you miss this you are CRAZY!! Best $60 spent!! It is an experience, food AWESOME, service AWESOME

Casino - fine, won a little

Salon - great updo - $65 for formal night

Disembarkation-quick and easy

After tour - airboat, fun - well worth the money if you have a later flight

 

Maureen, Bill and the rest of the cruise critics friends..........thank you!

 

any questions - I will be sure and answer

You were on the same cruise we will be on in May 6th, 2007. Did you get ahold of Sonny Liston before you got to St. Thomas or did you book him through the ship excursion department????????

Waiting for the full review!

We booked him through his website, he is really quick about returning emails. If he is not full he will pick up people at the port that don't have anything else planned. Email him, he will give you all the info you want to know. BTW you don't pay until you get there. I think it is Sunnyliston.com

Tell me more about the Piano Bar and Ron Pass. What deck is it on? What time is he there? That sounds like a great time. I've read that it gets real crowded and is a lot of fun. Thanks!

The Piano Bar is on deck 5. Ron played from 10pm until 2Am unless an intoxicated older woman paid him to play longer! (Hello Nancy!) It got so crowded in there that on the last night of the cruise, some crazy lady from just outside Chicago, had to put out VIP reserved signs on the seats around the piano! :)

vesw01......thankyou for the website. I'm going to contact him....I think the girls would love to do this.:D

[Criscomia]

vesw01.........just for your info and maybe anyone elses, the website is

Sunnylistontours.com...................but thank you.:D As soon as I put in the website you gave me it took me to a bunch of different places and he was listed in one of those.

[LACRUISING]

Looking forward to a more extensive review! Great info! Thanks.

[vesw01]

Thank you for updating his website - I was thinking that might be it and I should have checked before I posted :rolleyes:

 

Well worth the $25 pp fe
