Thank you for the review. Also that was a good tip about self disembarking. Very fast getting off and for us that time is very important.

Glad you enjoyed it. We love cruising and enjoy that you only unpack once while getting to see multiple locations on the trip. As a tip for future cruises, use self-debarkation, taking your own luggage, and you will be off the ship much quicker. We are usually curbside getting a Lyft to the airport within 15-20 or less of leaving our cabin.
