We have sailed with Carnival several times but have always wanted to try RCI and the price of this cruise was too good to turn down. We were a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but all of those turned out to be untrue for the most part. We sailed on the four night cruise on Dec. 5th. We arrived at the port around 10:30 and there were already a decent amount of folks waiting to board. Security was a breeze and the lady at check-in was fast and friendly.
