Review summary
Disembarkation was bad for us as a group of eight people. We all had to report to different places at different times. My wife and I and one other couple managed to get off the ship by just walking off with the 'carry your own' luggage crowd. Two other couples were held up in the appointed stations waiting to be told to leave the ship and because of the lousy luggage retrieval system in the terminal they encountered, we all finally got in our van at 11:10, two hours and forty minutes after half our group got out and waited for the rest.Embarkation

Ship tip
Don't buy the internet package unless you want to spend a lot of time configuring and getting help from staff (long lines there). IQ package for $7.95 was Ok but did not work half the time unless you shut off/on phone. finding thing was harrowing and I though it was a waste of money. Room cards had to be replace by almost everyone in our group and two of us had room safe breakdowns. Be careful of the shampoo dispenser in the 'beer can' shaped shower as it's easy to knock off the wall and breaks apart. In our room, the A/C was fixed at 65 degrees and not realized till the 7th day in. Remote did not work unless you swung it around in circles in front of screen. financial Account page would not load the 'next page'. No closed captions except for news shows. Sound volume was difficult toi adjust comfortably.
Ports of call
Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey
Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)
