This port is very easy to park at and get on and off the ship, if you are driving to the ship this is a great port to use.

Thumbs Up 6

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

It was easy if every one on the ship would not get in the line until they were called it would have been even better but over all it is easy to get off at this port I think it took about 45 min from the time they called our deck # until we were in our car.
