gobucks_43228 Posted April 6, 2010 #53 Share Posted April 6, 2010 AWESOME review. We are sailing the Valor July 18. Did this same itinerary last year on the Legend and it was great. Thanks again for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry48 Posted April 6, 2010 #54 Share Posted April 6, 2010 hi, wife and I did our first cruise in february on splendor. we really liked the dining options,lounges and entertaninment were good. karaoke was a lot of fun,hopefully the others have karaoke also. decor was a bit on the pink side but we could live with it. more outdoor dining areas would have been nice but weather was too cool most of the time anyway. we would like to try another cruise in september so we can have warmer weather and to the caribbean this time. anyway,if we liked splendor would we probably like valor or freedom? we are even considering a 5 day from new orleans on triumph. we are just concerned about less to do and more crowded on a smaller ship.

Froufie Posted April 6, 2010 #55 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Did you have an adult serenity area? Nope - at least none I could find in January! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apdchief Posted April 6, 2010 Author #56 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I think you will like the Valor, not much different in size or passenger capacity compaired to the Splendor. We never felt crowed, even on sea days. hi, wife and I did our first cruise in february on splendor. we really liked the dining options,lounges and entertaninment were good. karaoke was a lot of fun,hopefully the others have karaoke also. decor was a bit on the pink side but we could live with it. more outdoor dining areas would have been nice but weather was too cool most of the time anyway. we would like to try another cruise in september so we can have warmer weather and to the caribbean this time. anyway,if we liked splendor would we probably like valor or freedom? we are even considering a 5 day from new orleans on triumph. we are just concerned about less to do and more crowded on a smaller ship.

KWV001 Posted April 6, 2010 #57 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm assurming this means Larry must be gone? Was on the Valor in January and by the 3rd night the place was empty and Larry was entertaining himself! Very disappointing in my opinion as often the piano bar is a fun and happening place to hang out in! (until I can no longer take the smoke!;)) Nope. Larry was there last week. I believe he said he had three more weeks, than was ending his cruise run and moving to New York. I agree with your assesment. We went in there a couple of evenings. Didn't stay long the first night which was early in the week, but it was fairly crowded. Went back on Thursday evening, and there were fewer than a dozen people there. We also saw him playing in the Atrium a couple of times, and I was far from impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer01 Posted April 8, 2010 #58 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thank you for the wonderful review. We cruised on the Valor in 2008 and will be going again on April 25th. This time we will be joined by our grown children. I hope they enjoy it as much as we did the last time. We am so excited. 16 days left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least he is ending his 'run' and hopefully they can get someone better in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dldestiny Posted April 9, 2010 #60 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Thanks for the review. Do you happen to remember if the food at the buffet (Rosies) at dinner time was the same as the food they serve in the Main Dining room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stetucke Posted April 9, 2010 #61 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Great review my wife and I are were looking at the Valor to take our 4 year old on later this year and were worried about what she would have to do but looks like that is not going to be a problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stetucke Posted April 14, 2010 #62 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Great review, it really has put my wife at ease that our daughter will have plenty to do. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidansmommy2 Posted April 14, 2010 #63 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks for the great review! My son Aidan (he's 5) and I will be on the Valor on May 2nd and we are so excited to go. It would only be better if DH could be with us. Unfortunately, he couldn't get off work but he is sending us anyway as this is my birthday/mothers day gift this year! :D I loved your pictures, really gave me a sense of things to come. You've also help me make a choice about which excursion to do. We were going to do Alta Ha in Belize, but after seeing your pictures, I think we'll do a tour in Roatan instead. Aidan will love the iguana and monkey places much more than the Mayan ruins in Belize. Thanks! He's also looking forward to Camp Carnival. He loves it...drives his dad and I crazy when its closed asking every minute it seems "how much longer til kids club opens"? :rolleyes: Kids...ya gotta love em, right?;) Thanks again for your great review!

Only1me Posted April 14, 2010 #64 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I found lots of helpful information for our upcoming family cruise on The Valor in June.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 cruzen Posted April 15, 2010 #65 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Finally a valor review. I was going through valor review withdrawl:D:p Nice review so far anxiously awaiting the rest. Looking at a cruise for April 2011 - both ships going to same ports. Have been on the Glory, but not since she was refurbished. Just wondering if someone has been on both and can give a recommendation. Sure both will be great, but I tend to stick to what I know - so trying to go outside my box. Thanks for any recommendations.

spongiebob Posted April 15, 2010 #66 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thank you for the wonderful photos. We are sailing this sunday and can't wait!!!! Roatan looks so beautiful! and that picture of the baked alaska...yummm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggie1 Posted April 15, 2010 #67 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Loved your picture of your daughter with the parrott and the iguana. We have one just like it of our granddaughter in Cozumel. She (6) and sister (2) at the time, loved the dolphin encounter. We took the whole family for a new yrs cruise on the Conquest visiting Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. I liked her comment on the plane. We flew the family to Cabo last Sept. for son's wedding. Same granddaughter was 3 now and first time to fly. As we are going down the runway for take-off she all of a sudden says, "ok everybody one two three blast-off". I don't think a lot of the passengers enjoyed but the ones around us thought it was funny and laughed. Love traveling with grandchildren.!!

laurenpie Posted April 30, 2010 #69 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Great review!! Look like you had a fantastic time on the boat. Me and my husband are booked to go on the Valor on 10th October this year - we are so excited. Went on Royal Caribbean's Liberty Of The Seas to the Western Caribbean last year, trying the same destination with Carnival, and it looks fantastic, we are so excited!!! :) All of the port stops look absolutely beautiful - heaps to look forward to!

leroydarts Posted April 30, 2010 #70 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thanks for the review! I'm ready to go, but have to wait until December! I need to quit reading reviews, I'm getting too excited too early! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadypacked Posted August 2, 2010 #71 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Few more pics from RoatanMe, Brianna, Unis and Rony Jon and Marion at the dock. The Beach at Mahogony Bay Lovely review & photos! Question: What is the difference between the yellow and blue loungers at Mahogany Bay? Are the yellow ones for Platinum guests or do you have to pay for them or something?

Rare marshalltp Posted August 3, 2010 #72 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer them. How much was the excursion and did you book through Carnival or independantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
