All in all the cruise was OK but we had several complaints. Most were traceable back to cost cutting by RCI.

We arrived at Port Terminal Blvd at about 10:30 and the traffic line was huge and barely moving. I saw another review advising pulling into the left lane and bypassing the slow right lane. We complained to a guard about the line jumpers and he said that they were supposed to be port workers only. He said they didn't pay him enough to argue with the other line jumpers. It took us 45 minutes to get to the terminal.

Check in went very fast for us as our daughter is in a wheelchair. RCI always pulls the wheelchairs out of line and gives us special care. This is appreciated as juggling carry on luggage, coats, paperwork and a wheelchair can be challenging.
