Review summary

I was shocked at the embarkation process. I hope they come up with a better process. It was hot and the line took almost an hour to get on the ship. Once we got on the ship the lines for food were the same. That is my only complaint

It is always crazy the first day. Everybody wants on, everybody wants to get to their room, you can't get on any of the elevators cuz they are packed, and everybody wants to eat. They are all just part of the program

That's why we got fttf when we cruised the Vista. We got on the ship early.

Honestly getting on and off this ship was a breeze for us in May. So much better than the Magic last year at Spring Break. Won't ever do that time of the year again!!! There are tips on where to eat on the day you get on the ship as to avoid the buffet. Gotta do your homework to know about it though.

Muster Drill is about closing bars and taking names! Haha I have to get that shirt. But, really, mandatory by Maritime Law.

Yes, you can do without the muster drill, until something bad happens and you need that information

The lines will take just as long, if not longer, if you have excursions to get to. Let's not mention the lines everyday for breakfast 🙄
