Any advice would be appreciated. Valor 7 day southern C.

[travelover7]

We are booked for 7 day cruise on the Valor leaving Puerto Rico on September 28 to October 5. We have a balcony on deck 8 veranda. Has anyone staying on this deck that can tell me if this is a nice deck to be? Nice view?

[golfadj]

Yes you are high enough up you should have a very nice view

[valentinebaby1]

We were on the Valor last year just about the same time, on Panorama deck 10 balcony room (starboard side)...it was PERFECT. Make sure you wake up early enough each morning to step out on your balcony in the morning as you come into each port. You'll get photos like this:

 

(coming into St Thomas)

 

and this:

 

(also St Thomas)

 

and this:

(coming into St Lucia)

 

and this:

(arriving in St Kitts)

 

 

 

 

I have to say I'm just a smidge jealous of you right now. We are dying to go back on the Valor and do this again.

Thank you so much for taking your time to post. The photos are breathtaking.

You're welcome! You'll have a fantastic time :)

Thank you and enjoy

Sailed Valor last year..great ship and crew and also in my opinion, the best itinerary.

 

We were in an ocean suite on deck 7, and had great views from our balcony on that deck as well.

 

 

Have a great cruise.

Is the Lido aft pool adults only? We are sailing in September on our 15 year anniversary and are looking for a kiddo free place to relax.

Awesome ship! Amazing itinerary. Don't worry about anything. It will be FABULOUS. Best itinerary there is. Done it twice. Can't wait to do it again.

Yes it is, there might be few around but we found it pretty much kid free. The Valor also has the Serenity retreat for some adult time...

Yes the Lido pool aft is kid-free and it's a much-less-noisy place to relax!

 

 

 

Remember not to have too much fun on Valor, now! :D

You're the one that I want!

 

We had a ball with Felipe's '70s/'80s Music Quiz thing on Deck 5 near the Casino

(at 10 p.m. after the Show) -but that doesn't mean that you should lol :D

ENJOY!

any balcony on the ship provides a great view, like a previous poster mentioned..don't miss the sunrise!

 

here is a shot I took of the Pitons as we were heading to the port.

 

 

Have a great trip, it's an awesome itinerary.

We were on Valor in May 2013 and our cabin was on the 8th Deck (#8331). It's generally pretty quiet up there unless you're right under the main pool area on the Lido Deck 9 (right above). Our cabin was under this area and even then, it wasn't that bad. We heard an occasional chair being moved at a table. On the night of the Deck party (after Barbados), it went on a little late and we did hear some of that. It definitely won't be as loud as it gets in cabins on the 6th deck that are over the nightclub.

 

I also recommend not missing sailing into the islands in the mornings. We were on Valor in May 2013 with a balcony (starboard, right side of ship) on the 8th deck and one of my favorite things was getting up early to see the islands/sunrise as we were coming in. If you're on the starboard side, you'll get the best views after Barbados since all the islands will be on that side. If you're on the port (left) side of the ship, just head on up to Panorama Deck 10 for the views. This was one of our favorite cruises and has the most scenic itinerary. I would LOVE to do this same cruise again.

 

Coming into St. Thomas

 

Coming into St. Lucia (you should be able to see the Pitons)

 

 

Coming into St. Kitts (views of cloud covered Nevis)

Oh boy...you are all getting me soooo excited!! We go on the Valor on Nov 2nd and I can hardly wait to go. I can't wait to see these islands. We got an aft ext balcony for this cruise. I don't want to miss a thing!:D

[meanjean80]

Went on this itinerary last September and had a great time...one of the best cruises I've ever had.

 

Balconies are great for arrival and departure on the islands...have fun!

[christyran1228]

We will be on Nov 9th ... I'm fairly certain my countdown clock is moving in 1/2 time. [emoji30]

What we are you sailing. We are doing a b2b on the 6th and 13th of next year. Did the same thing last year and loved it.

We are Sept 20th . Give me the scoop. The last few cruises have been kinda lacking in the entertainment Dept. So hoping this cruise has a good vibe! Good music would be nice.regardless, the itinerary looks awesome! Any recommendations on excursions or just things to do in ports?

[TrishJ]

We are booked for this December on this ship! I can't wait! We are in the 4J cabins at the front of the ship so hopefully we can get some decent pictures from that view!

[jmcancruise]

We found the atmosphere on this ship to be amazing. I think the awesome staff set a great tone for an upbeat and lively cruise. We are kind of low key types, but we really enjoyed the vibe.
