We sailed on Valor 05/23-30 and have been on RCCL and Princess previously.

The good:

1. The buffet and dining room food were great, and so was the steakhouse. 2. We had a balcony on the Empress deck, nice and quiet. Our room attendant was very nice and did a great job. Room was a little dated, but still nice. 3. Embarkation/Disembarkation were a breeze, waited no longer than an hour. 4. Hardly any kids on board, counted the same 3 kids the whole trip. 5. Really liked our Maitre D and Assistant Server. 6. Tables were bussed quickly on Lido deck (Rosie's) 7. Entertainment was great, loved the comedians! 8. Ship was very smooth, hardly felt a thing.
