We booked an inside cabin last minute and got a rate of $325 pp.which included taxes.good start.

We flew into Miami day of cruise with just a couple of hiccups.we flew delta with only 1 bag which weighed 69lbs.no problem I thought as I will pay the $25 fee per 50lbs for a totall of $50-the airline wanted to charge me $25 bag fee and $125 overage.this didn't make sense to me so after 20 mins arguing back and forth we went and bought another bag and only had to pay the $50.poor marks here delta.i don't mind you making money but gouging me is quite another issue.i will do my best to avoid this airline in future.second minor issue was the cabfare to the port .we were charged $35 instead of the flat rate of $25.not a big deal $10 but again with the gouging.

We arrived at the rush hour and it took approx 75 mins to board the boat.we had a beer in the bar when we got on board and then toured the boat.we sailed rccl adventure of the seas last time and while the valor cannot compare to that boat it is still a nice vessel.thelayout as mentioned on these reviews is weird and takes a little getting used to.
