Review summary

It was the 1st time that I have ever taken a cruise and I loved the actual cruise itself. I did not like the boarding in NY as my understanding was that when you complete the online registration I would not still be standing in line for 3 hours to board. Getting off the ship was smoother but still came with disruptions from other passagners that require asistan e that chose to be quite rude and continue to push people myself included with there motorized scooters instead of waiting for the line to clear. Other than that the trip was amazing and all of the staff was curiosity and polite. I would say that it exceeded my expectations of what I felt the trip would be like.

We got there at 12:30 supposed to be boarding at 1:30 wanted to be there at 11:30 but with traffic etc. however there wasn’t a line where we came in of much. We were told we did something correct and was ushered through.. I saw some people in front of us being told to get to the end of a massive line but for some reason we were not told to do that. Maybe we had everything ready we did have tags on our bags etc but I am not sure why we were pushed in front of other people other than they said we were prepared.

Boarding typically begins at 11:30am (for a 4pm departure) so depending on what time you arrived at the terminal and what boarding group number you were assigned...... it can be greater than 3 hours or you could walk right on if you arrive at 1:30pm. But glad you had a great time other than that.
