Rare KmomChicago Posted May 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Same class of ship, next year one will be in Galveston and the other in New Orleans. Same 5 day itinerary with stops in Progreso and Cozumel. Which do you pick and Why? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong38501 Posted May 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'm guessing you are looking in the spring before Valor moves to New Orleans? If you are flying Galveston can be pricey to get to from the Houston airports versus New Orleans. If you are driving that doesn't matter. I would probably go with Valor simply because I love that ship and it's the ship that got me addicted to cruising. The ships are very very similar though.

Sixtytwo Posted May 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2018 NOLA because of the convenience factor for us. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes during spring break before Valor moves. The ships seem quite similar indeed. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-state girl Posted May 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Are you interested in doing any sightseeing before or after the cruise? New Orleans has more to see and better food. Galveston has more options for economical parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted May 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Basically same ship. Would choose based on price and itinerary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 9, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2018 New Orleans > Galveston And you can usually get a better price sailing out of New Orleans. I only go to Galveston if it’s a ship I really want to sail on. Breeze this year. Vista next year. Since there isn’t a big difference in ship I’d go New Orleans.

MegnJoe Posted May 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I would choose the glory only because I’ve been on the Valor twice, and I haven’t done the Glory yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted May 9, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Both ships are the exact same build, the only difference might be whatever additions/alterations were made during the various dry docks. If the itineraries were the same, as well as cost, then ease and cost of getting to either port would influence my decision. If they were similar, I would pick NOLA over Galveston because of the local food and ambiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmptrwiz Posted May 9, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We have been on both a couple of times each. For me, it would come down to price or convenience. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeek Posted May 9, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'd simply rather sail out of New Orleans than Galveston. I enjoyed the Valor but not sure it's any better or worse than Glory so New Orleans would kick me to whatever ship is sailing from there. I would almost certainly combine that cruise with a day or 3 enjoying NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
