helene109 Posted October 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2023 We are considering the Valor for June. Already have Vista booked for September. Opinions please my son will be traveling with us he is 24. My daughter is getting married in May so we will have one less. 1 suite or 2 rooms? He will be paying his own way. Haven’t been to New Orleans since Covid and it wasn’t the same. Missing the food even for a day before dinner. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john91498 Posted October 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It's really up to you. We've had 4 people in a suite and it worked out well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john91498 Posted October 6, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Not really. In a suite, there's a changing/make up area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted October 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Privacy and an extra bathroom means I would choose two rooms over a suite. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why not ask your son? It could be more costly for him to get his own room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drazil65 Posted October 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Thank you, was it hard with everyone getting ready at the same time? Suite with nice balcony every time. Our family (3 of us and DS is college age) have spent many cruises over the years in a suite, the extra space and large balcony works well for our cruising experience (we use our balcony at least 2x a day easily). That being said, we have always taken advantage of the spa/ gym showers (especially on formal night where I may need extra time to dress etc). DH and DS actually prefer to go and use the (more times than not they are all empty) showers and get dressed with lots of room and hot water. Mean while I have the whole bathroom and dressing area in the cabin to shower, dress, makeup or whatever (a glass of wine goes perfect with this) and we all get ready at the same time. Whatever you decide to do, have a blast! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that the Junior Suites on Valor are not significantly larger than a regular Balcony room (IMHO). There is a larger bathroom with bathtub/shower combo and a small hallway with closets leading to the bathroom. But the "bed" for the 3rd person is a convertible couch that's almost immediately at the end of the bed. A coffee table and small space separates the 2. For a "suite", I was not impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentureMan_2000 Posted October 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Well, a Grand Suite is about the same price as two balconies. You would maintain your privacy if you each had a balcony stateroom. You could always ask that the balcony divider be opened between staterooms if you want a larger balcony experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
