Review summary

The cruise was great. But the disembarkment needs to be fixed. People who take their own luggage should not have to wait to leave. People who turned their luggage in for the cruiseline to handle were able to leave before the people who had everything ready. We had to wait until the very last to get off ship. Many people were disappointed.

Water was beautiful. Booked a resort for a day at the Hilton Resort. Was given a free meal and drink and towel.

Took forever to disembark. We had our own luggage but still had to wait for the people who didn’t manage their own luggage. People ready with all their luggage should have been allowed to leave first. Otherwise why bother taking care of our own luggage anyways. Very disappointed.

Think 🤔 it’s easier said than done would be a heck of a task to disembark so many people but have been on smooth ones and been on some horrible ones taking forever.. it does spoil your experience but Logically it must be hard ... 🤷‍♀️

I feel like debarkation is always a mess but I can’t figure out a better way to do it so I just try to grin and bare it

You could have, and should have changed your colored tags to an earlier time, or simply left the ship when ready. The colored tags and associated departure times ate just when they have that luggage off the ship, since you were carrying your own it really didn't apply.

Did you have an early flight to catch or some reason why you should be first?
