Review summary

Total Eclipse Cruise was great, but RCL needs to figure out how to eliminate the problem we had in Nassau. It was a short day and we had to be back on the ship at 2:30. Apparently everyone came back right before the deadline and the line ran the length of the pier and more. It was a hot, humid, sunny day in Nassau and we all (elderly, pregnant ladies, children, etc.) had to tough it out in the very uncomfortable conditions with no shade or no alternative. RCL loves those HUGE ships with thousands of passengers padding the profits for RCL, but MUST find ways to eliminate this kind of situation - rain, storm, heat, cold - we had to wait in line for security before we could board. Without a solution RCL might see those profits from huge ships dwindle while passengers opt for smaller ships. I think RCL should cough up the dollars to help ports like Nassau upgrade the security facilities to accommodate the huge passenger numbers. The Port of Nassau didn't create the problem, but the captain on the pier (not THE Captain, but one of four on Oasis) was quick to blame the port for the security backlog. He accepted no blame for RCL.
