Review summary

A very comfortable and luxurious liner. Wonderful and helpful (and patient!) staff. Highly recommended. Most impressive: the debarkation at Port Everglades on our return. 10 minutes after departing our stateroom at checkout we were thru Customs and hailing a cab. I commend Royal Caribbean for having a very efficient check-in/check-out system.

Thank you Joep:-) Very helpful response and we are definitely following the hint you provided on eating at other places besides the Windjammer on embarkation day.  We will also install the passport app, but as older techies, we will keep paper backups in our carryons and hidden in our checked baggage:-)

we arrived to the port at about 11:30 and walked right on the ship went and got something to eat in Central Park and then got into our cabin right at 1. we disembarked on our own - self disembarked at about 7:30 ish and use that passport app and we are off in like 10 minutes we were actually picking up our car at the airport at 8:30. we sailed on the Oasis the first week in December and it was great we really loved it you're going to have a great time.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your experience on the debarkation. For those of you who had to wait was it because you had a later flight? And for those of you who got off very quickly were you on a special program such as caring your own luggage or or an early flight? Finally can you say something about your embarkation; time arrived at the port and how long it took you to get on the ship? And finally what time did you get on the ship and how long was the line at the Windjammer?  Thank you, we're planning for November-December, and still deciding whether to take first flight to Fort Lauderdale on embarkation day or to fly in the night before to get to the ship in the morning which might mean the wait includes time for clearing the ship not just processing us.
