Review summary

I think overall the staff did good, they are short of staff for sure. LM is one of the best voices I have heard and plays a mean Guitar .

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Horrible experience, being standing on line for 4 hours, one line for security, one to check paperwork and now in line to pick up keys. Of the 29 cruise I have done, this is the worst experience ever

You have to book a tour here, not much to do in town, however we did book one through the ship and we were on the bus/ open safari jeep ( which I like) but we drove out from the pier and stopped at the stores outside and had to wait 20 minutes for people to browse the stores. This should be the last stop so you walk back to the ship if you want to skip it
