Never cruised, picked for location, and then picked for destination. The Valor was fabulous, it had everything I needed. Went above and beyond for my expectations. I would love to set sail on the Valor again. The crew was great as well. Always had a smile on their faces. The port of Galveston was easy to get on and off. We went at 1:30pm and had absolutely no lines or issues. We carried our luggage on and had immediate access to the room to drop it off. Saw dolphin in the waters during disembarking. Our port of calls were well organized for unboarding and boarding. Our cruise director Frankie "the tank" was awesome. Our cabin was located one floor above the entertainment deck, the lido, food glorious food and a dip in the pool. Did I mention the 24 hour pizza and soft serve ice cream. Heaven!!! Sign me up for a repeat!!
