Embarkation

Well this was the worst thing of the cruise get to New York and get threw security 945am get checked in and they give you a boarding position it was 14th and we didn't get on the ship til 1230pm and still needed to book specialty dining times which was a nightmare waiting in line for hrs not on RoyalCaribbean in Bayonne, New Jersey we get to port get threw check-in and up onto ship so about 1045am on ship this new york port needs something it's too long to board plus how is it your not with technology like RoyalCaribbean we book our specialty dining on app

Small but hey it worked only for 2 of us

Ship tip

Hangout at the waterfront Beatles tribute in the Cavern club gets packed where they won't let you in so my suggestion is go outside to the cavern bar and watch on the TV outside its setup to see and here but there early or you'll miss that too
