We did the Rail Tour and enjoyed it. Very relaxing and great way to see the island and learn of their culture. Several people stand on their porches and wave as we went by. They also furnished unlimited drinks of all kinds. :D

Back recently from cruise on Valor, had our first Cat 11, 7275, space was great (thanks to sr rate and hurricane season) however, it was very noisy in hallway until 2-3am. It was midship and close to elevators, but also close to an open atrium area. The band/singing noise from several floors below filtered up but it was as if we were right there on the same floor. If the bands/singers had been good wouldn't have been so bad (a few nights wasn't bad). Also, the dinging from the elevators was fairly constant and rather loud mostly late at night and early morning starting around 5:30 am. Valor is a great ship though, loved it and had a great time regardless! From now on will include ear plugs in my packing requirements and get further away from elevators ;)
