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

1 out of 5
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 ?
