travgurl Posted August 6, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What is your opinion of these two cruises to pick from for a Feb. cruise? Valor--Grand Cayman, Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya plus 2 days at sea Liberty--Costa Maya, Limon Costa Rica. and Colon Panama plus 3 days at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted August 6, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Although i think the Liberty is a much nicer ship, the Itenerary is much better on the Valor sooooooo, do you want a more subdued calm surounding or do you want really nice ports?

Tantor58 Posted August 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What is your opinion of these two cruises to pick from for a Feb. cruise? Valor--Grand Cayman, Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya plus 2 days at sea Liberty--Costa Maya, Limon Costa Rica. and Colon Panama plus 3 days at sea Personally, I would go Eastern. I did not like Mexico. Belize is scary. Guards at all points. Do not recommed going out into the city by yourself, only if on a tour or exchursion. Armed Guards standing at the gates made of Iron. Costa Maya was ok. It was raining when we got there, but other than that, it was fine. But I still did not care for the pushiness of the people trying to sell stuff to you, then telling you one price and charging you something. T-shirts 3/20$ and ended up charging nearly 30$ for them. Braid your hair 25$ ended up charging 125$. Have not been to Grand Caymen, costa Rica, and the other port you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravlGrl Posted August 6, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hi TravGurl (nice name! :)) I like the Valor because of the itinerary, but that's just my opinion since I really like port-heavy itineraries. Belize is gorgeous with some of the best diving/snorkeling in the world. Not sure if you like to snorkel, but I wouldn't miss Belize! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travgurl Posted August 6, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted August 6, 2007 TravlGrl: Good Name! I was in Belize and Costa Maya in July on the Glory. Loved the ports. Went snorkeling through Coral Breeze in Belize, great excurison!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINEVIEW01 Posted August 6, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2007 They are sister ships. So, I'd pick the Liberty. I love the ship and I like the extra day at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted August 6, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Solely based on itineraries, I haven't heard a whole lot of good things about the ports (Costa Rica and Panama). I also loved the Valor itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAWS Posted August 6, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'd go for the Valor. Belize - go cave tubing if you haven't done it. Spectacular. Costa Maya - GREAT beach day and you can't beat the lovely beach massages ($20 for 45 minutes) at Mahahual Beach. Grand Cayman - swim with the stingrays at the sandbar. Great experience. Haven't been to Roatan, but I have been to Costa Rica (went on the zipline canopy tour - FABULOUS) but Panama - bleh!! No thank you never again. Personally two sea days in one week is enough for us. BTW all of the excursions we booked above were NOT done through the cruise line. Much better deals out there on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madge57 Posted August 6, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I haven't been on the Liberty but we were on the Valor in January!! I loved the Valor!! we went cavetubing in Belize and we didn't see any military at all. Swam with the Stingrays in Caymans, We booked a tour to see roatan Beautiful!! We didn't go to Costa Maya but went to Cozemel instead. Went to Paradise beach and had a great time. Regarless of what you decide I am sure you will pick the right cruise for you!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlwyn1 Posted August 7, 2007 #10 Share Posted August 7, 2007 We are going on the Valor in February, the ports sound better to me and I like starting and ending my trip with a day at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why-wait-to-retire Posted August 11, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Belize cave tubing!!! We did the cave tubing in Belize and it was soooooo much fun we're booking another cruise with a stop in Belize just to do it again!!! But first we're cruising Hawaii and doing the tubing in the canals on Kauai. Has anyone done that one? Was it as fun as it looks?

momofmn00 Posted August 12, 2007 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Grand Cayman is AWESOME!!!!! I hadn't heard of it before my cruise~but I want to go back everytime!!!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name game Posted August 12, 2007 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The Valor definitely has a better itinerary. I did the Liberty two years ago. I was disappointed in Costa Rica and Panama was BORING! If you are going for the itinerary then go with the Valor. If you are going for the ship then it's a hard choice. For me there would be only one choice and that would be the Valor with that itinerary (although I have never been to Roatan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L&J Posted August 12, 2007 #14 Share Posted August 12, 2007 FYI our PVP informed us that the Valor will be in dry dock the week of Feb 2-9 so the ship should be nice and clean and some older carpets, etc replaced for our Feb 10 Eastern Carib cruise. We'll try and keep it clean for you if you choose the Western itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
