Embarkation nightmare
Business must be so good for Royal Caribbean that they no longer think it is necessary to treat their passengers with any sense of caring. We arrived at the port at about 1:00PM to find an incredibly long check in line outside of the terminal. After waiting on this line for 1 hour 45 minutes we found that it was just to check our baggage. Then we had to get on an even longer line to actually check in. In total we waited in the heat of the day with no water made available and no information for a total of 3 and 1/2 hours. We later heard rumors of a stow-a-way on board from the previous cruise causing the delay in boarding. Now we do understand that things like this can happen but it is the way these problems are handled that defines a company. People were literally passing out on line and no one from RCCL was there to help. Once on board, not one word of explanation or apology.
The Ship
Cabin Review
Oceanview Stateroom
Cabin 3242 was close to the theater but far from the dining area. Since deck 3 does not go through the ship you have to go up to deck 4 or 5 to get to the dining room. No big deal for us but for someone with limited mobility, it could be an issue. The cabin was fine but typically small. The area was quiet as it does not get much foot traffic being near the front of the ship. My wife found the decor harmonious. The couch seemed a bit worn but other furnishings seemed fine. The bed was comfortable. We loved the linens. On nights when the seas were high you can hear the swells crashing on the bow of the ship. Not a bad thing for us but some may not like this part of the cruise experience.
