Review summary

Remember, December cruises will have weird weather. It was cold and the seas were a little fun for a couple of days but the food and entertainment was great.

I missed my excursion due to the confusion at the meeting up points. When I explained I was in the correct spot, I was made to feel that it was my fault (? I didn't hear being called because the way they line people up was a cluster. When I asked, initially I got hostility from the staff even though I didn't get hostile, but we got it worked out I went to the beach on another bus. This was the Stoned Crab restaurant and beach, but I didn't eat there. They took a long while to open. The beach was cold (no one's fault but it just was) and we just got a ride back to the boat after an hour.

Disembarkation

This was NOT the boats fault nor the staff's fault. We lined up early with our luggage to get off the boat with the faster to the fun pass but others on the boat were not following directions. It was kind of chaotic. But we go to off. It was good.
