Disembarkation

1 out of 5
We had the key program. There was only one sign on the gangway! No signage anywhere else. We tried to ask several people where to pick up our luggage for the key program but were told By everyone to keep moving. We had to wait 3 hits for our luggage to be brought to us. Ruined our experiences with Royal Caribbean!!!
