Most organized embarkation ever. Entered terminal right around 10 and first non-suite; key onboard before 10:30. Managed to snag all the UDP restaurants and times I wanted, except Izumi Hibachi as the only had one slot at 7pm on one day only that didn't work for us. But am very pleased. BTW Parking at terminal 1 garage was mostly filled yesterday by Independance cruisers. Only spaces at 8:30-9 time were on top deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG Teacher Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 While I can relate to the three "hot-tub in cold weather" (Santa hat is a nice touch!), I have to respect the woman who is just laying out on the deck chair's commitment to living her ideal cruise life!

I Wonder what ship that was? I blame the RCL Blog Group Cruisers! I showed up at 9:45 last Sunday and had to park on the top deck. Left this morning about 9:20 and only remaining spots were on the top deck. I think @Beci said she heard we sailed at 95% of full capacity. I can imagine the ship sailing today was booked pretty full..likely some folks will end up missing yhe cruise because of flights and weather, though. The locals driving in will have no issues other than walking from the overflow lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sailed spring break, which is totally fine (busy but ok). Now I'm sailing at a time when it will be way over "full" capacity and likely short staffing.
