Help Valor or Sunshine

[chrislo]

We are looking at both the Valor and Sunshine for our summer vacation. Which do you think is better and why.

 

Thanks in advance.

Valor, not as crowded.

I was on the Sunshine last May and loved it more than the Dream, my first cruise. I'm on the Valor in Nov and not too happy it doesn't have the upgrades.

I'm going on the Valor for a family cruise, there choice.

 

I just loved the Sunshine

I loved the Sunshine and I am doing the Valor in April. I am not happy that the Valor does not have the 2.0 upgrades. However, we sail for the ports not the ship. The Valor had better ports and it was WAY cheaper then the Sunshine.

Thank you. My husband doesn't think the lack of 2.0 upgrades will make a difference but of course my 9yo son thinks they make all the difference. I guess I have to break the tie.

The 2.0 is a joke a couple of extra outdoor bars and a couple other extras don't need...read the Sunshine reviews you find a lot of negative.

 

 

The Valor was rated in the top 14 for overall and service:

I prefer the Valor over the Sunshine. But either will make a great cruise.

I too, vote for VALOR! Less crowded, better ports, and WAY better price. ;)

I have sailed Valor 6 times, with my 7th later this month.

 

I sailed Destiny once, Sunshine never.

 

Guess which ship I vote for?

We are looking at the same options for our cruise in January. I'm leaning towards Valor. I like the price and the itinerary.

We sailed the Sunshine last year and sail the Valor next week. The Sunshine was OK. We like shows and the theater, although cool technically, was really tight. Our favorite ship has been the Conquest, which is a sister to the Valor, just the perfect size. Either way you can't really go wrong, its a cruise.
