Creator's Key Takeaways

The bathroom, well, it is consistently described as being too small, especially for anyone who isn't petite.

Cabins directly below the galley, that's deck 14 aft and deck 13 below it, can pick up some significant noise early in the morning.

The alcoholic drinks are not included on board and well, that adds up, doesn't it?

The Valiant Lady is one of the most genuinely interesting ships sailing right now, but the small pool, the noise issues in certain cabins, and the app headaches are real things you need to plan around.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your dining reservations as soon as your window opens.
Screenshot everything as a backup for the app.
Book your cabin location carefully, looking above and below on the deck plan.
Pack a multi-plug adapter due to limited power outlets.
Budget for a bar tab before you sail.
