One out of three was accomplished.  The new water slides were added but Playmakers and El Loco were not installed during this dry dock.  It’s still a very nice ship and we found the crew outstanding during its Apr/May transatlantic sailing.  

Ship leaves LA at 4:00.  Conference calls are supposed to end no later than 11:00am. They do not.  Get in car and drive to port while finishing calls.  Arrive!!  Calls done!!  Vacation with my family ahead (kids and grandkids waiting for me on the ship for lunch).  I open the back of my car to get my bag and . . . No bag.  It remains sitting by the garage door at home.  What to do?  Board with nothing but what I’m wearing? Try to make it home and back on time?  I went with the dash for home praying for traffic cooperation.   Traffic cooperated and I made it on the ship.  I can now attest that if you arrive late, there are no lines and one boards very quickly (like less than 5 minutes).

Seems like the deal cruise.  Looking forward to 2024 and meeting everyone on board!

As usual, Matt is correct.  Budget will  pick you up at the Miami Pier both arriving and departing.  Call 1) 305-377-4410 for their latest info.  I used this service in April and everything went well.  
        Good Luck!
