Creator's Key Takeaways

security uh it was very pushy with security they kept trying to get us through security very quickly uh just screaming at people go hurry up hurry up

we didn't get onto the ship until about 11:00 a.m. so we were there from 9:30 in the morning and we did not get on until about 11 a.m. so it was a little bit of a wait

the buffet was supposed to open at 11: and I can tell you we were in line probably close to 12 it was out the door the buffet actually didn't open until after 12

they were checking his passport before he got off they were not letting him off I think there was a little language barrier

Arrive a little later to avoid crowds, around 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Put your credit card in during online check-in two days before sailing to avoid kiosk lines.
Go up to level six to use less crowded elevators when boarding.
Wait until about 10:30 to get to the port on embarkation day to avoid chaos.
