Not a good experience-too many people trying to get on at the same time, no discipline in process, not enough staff working the lines, software was average

Terrible experience getting off the ship. Crowd control virtually nonexistent, no discipline in process and control. People with confirmed excursions mixed in with people just wanting to get off. Ship must improve its process.
