A bit confused , bags were being taken outside the terminal but no one told the line of people waiting. Once that was sprout went well but I was there early and they started one hour early others had 90 minutes wait

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room for the fate paid was excellent. I like shared tables and that worked. Cagney was good and the bistro ok . No sharing tables in these. Next time I'll skip the specialty restaurants.

I noticed that too! Decades ago they would give port discussions. Not hearing those in the past few years.
