Review summary

So worth the suite. You think you're never in your cabin, but you are. Not counting the perks that come with it (first on, first off). The debarkment took our other part of the family 3.5 hours to get off the boat (took us 15 minutes at 7:45 a.m.). They got to the shuttle at 11 a.m.

Parked at WallyPark 15 minutes away, and you have to wait to get your car 15 minutes. It's only $60 more to park on-site, and we would have been on the road 1 hour quicker. WallyPark had to make trips because they only had 1 shuttle running 15 miles one way. Hence 1 hour from Port to our vehicle.
