Review summary

Unfortunately my husband came home with Covid which is a risk we take when we travel. Please consider vaccinating for flu/covid prior to traveling.... and wearing a mask if not feeling well . Not only does it ruin the end of the trip, but then requires additional time off from work since you can not go into work sick. We heard so many people coughing with out covering mouths or with their hands ( and then touching things ) .

Embarkation

Super easy! Got there around 1030 and was on the ship by 11 AM
