We had watched the short safety info in the app on the drive down. We went directly to our muster station, took maybe 30 seconds to check in. Likewise, coming back from Costa Maya, I had a nearly full bottle of water which sailed through security without being checked. Some cruise lines inspect every bottle to be sure you aren’t trying to smuggle on liquor. I had 2 bottles of wine in my suitcase (as allowed) which were not checked. Got right on board.Īlso, they seemed completely unconcerned about booze smuggling. Lots of seating that looked comfortable, but we didn’t have to use it. NO wait at all to check in, or for security. Our boarding time was 12:30-1:00.Įasiest embarkation process ever! No one checked our boarding time, or else we were close enough that nobody cared. Make sure you have reservation because they were maxed out. We parked at Park 2 Cruise, a few minutes’ walk to RC terminal. We left San Antonio at 8:15am, arrived at the cruise port about 12. And she had a birthday coming up, so we booked a last minute mother-daughter cruise out of Galveston. My adult daughter had some vacation time that she had to use soon, or lose it. We don’t let these little things ruin our time.

We still had a great time! Any opportunity to travel and every day on a cruise is a gift to us. I have quite a few criticisms and I know some people don’t like to hear anything negative about their favorite cruise line. We had a good time, but this wasn’t my favorite cruise of all time. If you are interested, I welcome you to follow along. I have a lengthy commentary about our recent Western Caribbean cruise on the Voyager of the Seas.
