Review summary
Great crew! Friendly and hard working! Food and drinks were good. Choir of Man was fabulous! Other shows were good. Would highly recommend! Only hitch was disembarkation. Major issue with customs. Rumor was only 4 agents on duty for our fully booked ship and 2 other Cruise ships in port. Port of Miami for being the 2nd largest port in world, that was bad! We were delayed almost 4 hrs on disembarkation, thankfully we weren't catching a flight ✈️.Embarkation
