Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Boat docked at 6am,my group choose the checked bag way to exit instead of the early exit with your bags.We exited the boat at about 845am,with another 15-20 t0 get thru customs ,gather our bags ,we choose to get a porter to help get our bags to the car(glad we did this). Despite all that we were able to get breakfast while waiting for our disembarkment number to be called.
