Our journey on the Valor began about 10 hours after our actually wedding. We flew into Miami on Sunday morning on about 3 hours of sleep, and I was not looking forward to long lines for embarkation. We arrived to the pier at about 12:30, I was pleasantly surprised that we waited for about 30 minutes in the terminal and were in Rosie's having lunch by 1:00! Our room was ready at about 1:30 and luggage was delivered very soon after that. Then we took a nap in the super comfy bed! haha :)

Our room steward, Raj, introduced himself to us immediately. He made it a point to always address us by name and greet us with a smile. We loved talking with him and the other housekeeping staff that he was working with. They were all very friendly. And The ship itself was VERY clean. We always saw someone cleaning something every time we wandered around.
