After the bridge collapse in Baltimore we weren't sure if we would sail or from where. RCL did a good job in quickly selecting Norfolk and providing either transportation for previous cruise or in detailing parking and other information for the April 4th cruise. The ship and crew were what we expected and the four ports visited gave us an option to get off the shop to either tour or walk around. The new terminal in Nassau if a vast improvement over the old one and provides some safe activities without going outside of the fences to the hawkers on the way to Bay Street.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
The switch from Baltimore to Norfolk was a logistical challange that RCL handled well considering the circumstances. The bussing of the previous cruise was still underway when we arrived. The long lines and wait time was primarily since everyone arrived earlier than instructed. The staff at Norfolk did well in tying to keep things moving.

Ship tip
This is a smaller ship which is easier to traverse, but without many bells and whistless. Enjoy yourself and don't complain about the lack of activities..
