This was my second cruise (my 1st was Disney's magic to Bahamas)and my husband's first cruise.
We had a great time on the valor. We didn't witness any misbehavior or drunkenness by our fellow passengers and noise near our cabin was never an issue. I was a little worried about the clientele since this was a cheaper cruise, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Positives: Great service, nice sized room, nice shows, all the food you could eat, casino, and many clubs and areas to alleviate over-crowding. We also enjoyed the pools and soft-serve ice cream at all hours. The decor of the ship was not bad (it is very American themed) and the ship was huge. We met a lot of nice people. Also everything was very clean and our room was cleaned about 3 times a day. Fantastic.
A nice first floor room with a window. Away from the noise and close to the gangway to get to excursions.
