We went on the Valor 6-22-29. Our cabin steward “G” was nice and always there! Room was clean all the time. Our waiter was Norwell and he was great. Late seating. The maître D. we never saw but did speak with assistant- MD Harris… he actually had the chef make us warm asparagus soup since I didn’t care for the chilled asparagus soup night before. He was very good too. I liked the Valor. It doesn’t have the 2.0 upgrades and I actually prefer it better. I was on the New Sunshine in Sept2013 which had the upgrades and don’t think it was worth the changes. The shows were good on this ship & Comedians funny. Should keep smoking to casinos and a 1 bar….no smoking on balconies is a great idea. Checking in was a breeze. We were on by 12:30 even though we weren’t leaving until 10pm. Getting off the ship took longer. They said it was customs delay.

San Juan we stayed at the Sheraton across the street from the port. We walked over with our luggage- it was that close. We waited for the free trolley one day but was always full. We ended up walking to the Fort. Not that bad of a walk.

St. Thomas; we walked to the Paradise Point tram. I believe it was $20/pp to see a beautiful view of the island and our ship; Worth it. Then we grabbed a taxi to Emerald Beach. It was nice, clean and secluded. Taxi driver picked us back up at whatever time we told him. Did some shopping in town and walked back to the boat. Read more
