Review summary

My family and I had a great time on this cruise. After disembarkation on Saturday we realized we had left money in the locked cabin safe, contacted lost and found on Monday. Christine in main office in Seattle sent message to ship and was told money had not been found. I urged for and investigation because no one should have access to safe other that passenger or designated crew members. Christine followed up and the money was found still in the safe. Thank you for everything .

Disembarkation

Disembarkation was easy enough, there could be a little more information provided during disembarkation maybe a channel on TV. It is hard to hear announcement coming from hallway.
