Our disembarkation tour was not good. As with all their other tours it was rushed. The promised time to see the castle as well as the village and enjoy time for lunch did not happen. After an hour and a half line up to get into the castle we only had 45 minutes for a quick run through and then back to the bus. Make sure you get ice cream at the little truck at the middle ward shop. It was sooooo good. Someone in our group had to be at the airport shortly after noon so that didn't leave much time for the rest of us. We did however have lots and lots of time sitting at the airport. Read Less

After a long flight we were made to wait quite a while to board. A very long wait at the airport, a long bus ride, followed by another long wait in another line. Then we learn that we had to surrender our passports, which was not good. (We wanted to leave the ship completely, so maybe that's why Princess takes them away, so we're completely trapped in the prison of the sea.) To make things even worse, they made a mistake and didn't print my card and had to give me a temporary card, instructing me to go find a specific place on ship where I could get one printed. However, since I didn't have my card, I was grilled by every single person in every single area as I boarded. This wasn't my mistake, yet I was certainly paying for it. After passing 2 or 3 people, I was not permitted to board the ship until someone went to get me a card. Read Less

By the time we had gone through the endless que to register and get onboard we were too tired. Why oh why do you not have enough staff to cope with the people you are obviously expecting. My 80 year old mother was in some distress by the time we finally got onboard. You simply failed miserably......... NB. Royal Caribbean 1km up the road, absolutely painless, quick and efficient Read Less
