We disembarked the beautiful Koningsdam yesterday and almost didn't make our flight.  After waiting in line for an hour I was beginning to panic a bit (a lot according to Craig).  Thank goodness for a very thoughtful port agent who let us in the line ahead, otherwise it would have been another 45-60 minutes.  I'm sure other passengers weren't so happy that we were put ahead of them, even though we were given permission.  However, the next agent wasn't so kind......I felt like I got scolded much like in school for doing something wrong.  Okay so disembarking in San Diego is not the same as it was in Seattle just 6 weeks ago where we just practically walked off in 10 minutes.

 

I won't be posting much over the next week, I'm off to a women's retreat on Thursday in Houston.  I need to remind myself not to book two trips back to back.... a cruise yes, but not different trips.

Wow!  So sorry to hear San Diego has not improved disembarkation wise.  It was a mess when we were there years ago and thankfully for us, it was only turnaround day.  Had to wait at least an hour to get off the ship.  Everything was backlogged.  The next time was improved only because we had a separate exit for those who were on turnaround and not disembarking.

Safe travels and enjoy your time at the retreat.
