Great port intensive cruise. Would have preferred a different port than Trinidad but mostly because it takes way to long to get anywhere by vehicle.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Slow because we were doing an excursion with airport drop off. Took an hour to herd. We prefer self disembarkation and the 2 minute bus ride from terminal to bus pickup was as weird as taking the 2 minute bus ride to get on the ship.
