Ship tip

Disembarking was a pain in the neck. A bitter spot in an otherwise flawless experience.I know that this was not the fault of the Independence of the Seas, but we should have been warned.

Disembarkation

Deadly slow. Long lines and there were no places to sit down. Not so good for senior citizens, many of whom had to request for wheel chairs.

I agree that the disembarkation process is more arduous than I've experienced on any other RC ship. Loooong lines, but they did move at a decent pace and overall it took twice as long than expected.

You can't be warned when every cruise can be a different experience. It was most likely customs which is not the fault of the cruise line so why give a lower review?

Sounds like a wonderful trip, what was the hold up on leaving? Too many people ?
