My wife and I take one or two cruises a year. This was out eighth cruise together, and our second time on the Valor within a year. We had such a great time last year that we decided to sail the same ship again.

Unfortunately this experience was not as much fun as the last one. We live in Georgia, so we drove down to Miami and arrived about 11am on the day of embarkation. The line was very short it took us less then 20 minutes to get on board. Some of the luggage arrived within one hour the last bag didn't show up till after the muster drill. The room was very clean (balcony stateroom deck seven). There was plenty of closet space for our stuff. The room was set up the way we requested (beds together). We dropped all our stuff and went to the Lido deck for a cup of coffee. The buffet was in full force. We just had coffee and some cookies. There was plenty of seating.

After the usual muster drill, the Cruise Critic meet and mingle (there were 60 of us and about 25 showed), and sail away routine, we did some exploring. The ship was just as clean as we remembered last year, and very well maintained.
