This is my first review, and I guess I got excited and wrote way too much. Oh well, you can't expect someone to actually work when they come back from vacation can you?
Who We Are: This is our third cruise, all three have been with royal Caribbean. The first was about 10 years ago, the second about 6 years ago. We're in our 30's and have a 5 year old daughter.
Embarkation: Embarkation was an absolute breeze. I don't remember the details of embarking on our previous trips, but I remember being annoyed. Not the case here at all. We dropped a rental car at AVIS and got the shuttle to the port. That was easy and fast, although catching the shuttle means standing in the sun and asking each shuttle that comes by if they are your ship. Not the most organized process, but it was over fairly quickly. The ride was quick, and the porters were friendly and helpful with our bags. We breezed right through security, went to the line for previous cruisers, and walked straight on to the ship. I really think we were on the ships ten minutes after arriving and that includes the porters and a few pictures. It was way better than expected.
