Disembarkation

2 out of 5
No organisation whatsoever ,staff at the dock seemed frustrated ,think it was to much for them to handle ,this was our 24th cruise ,and I have never waited on the dock for one and a half hours to collect suit cases,people where all over the place waiting to go through immigration.

All's sounds good, as in a near perfect cruise. Glad you enjoyed. Hope all future cruises are equally as pleasurable.

Had a great time. Med staff were fabulous. Ship was adequate. Need more room for card and gaming passengers.
