Embarkation- typically quick. Traveled with people who needed wheelchair assistance. Everyone needs more wheelchairs from the company at the dock to RC. Think about how many older folks cruise. We waited over an hour to be able to start boarding waiting for chairs. After that, smooth sailing.
Debarkation- same issue with wheelchairs getting off.
Ship- I've been on 6 or so other RC cruises and I've always loved the ships. W of the Seas is gorgeous with lots of things to do.
