Disembarkation

As usual it was very hectic, our ship's birth was moved to accommodate the Celebration, so an extremely long walk to the parking garage.

Great review. Considering the zero time turnaround, all cruise ships do with banana inspection of the pipes and mechanical parts every week, It is a good thing it was only the pipes that burst.
