Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Like embarkation, disembarking was swift and easy. Tip for those using Lyft and Uber. The pickup point is about 3 blocks away. If you have a lot of luggage in tow that can be an obstacle. We took advantage of HAL’s valet disembarkation which sent our luggage directly to the airport. Marvelous!
