This Port was more of a "party" atmosphere. We enjoyed our excursion that we had booked.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Spent 2.5 hours in a long winding line to get to the Port authority. Inexcusable, inefficient, frustrating, and spoiled the joy of the trip. 7 windows to handle 4000 passengers with slow running computers opperating at 10% (per agent comment) was beyond outragous. Agent told us it normally takes 30 minutes.
