Review summary

It was my first ever Cruise and we really enjoyed ourselves. I'm 87 years old and I do not eat after 7 p.m. so the late dining time was very disappointing. Gettting off the ship was horrible on the ships end. We feel all wheelchair assisted individuals should get off the ship first!

Disembarkation

Horrible, because they had us in the theater for over a hour waiting to get off. Janay the CD was the one who finally got us off the ship!

So glad you have been able enjoy a cruise and hope many more. Yes you should have spoken up about the dining time and I bet they would have accommodated you.

Did you go to the Maitre ‘D on the first night to try and get your dining time changed? As a first time cruiser you may not have known about this option. Hope you sail again and get either early or “your time dining”. Happy that most of the rest of your adventure was good .
