Check in & disembark at GS RCL

[BANV]

Hi - can anyone share their recent experience in Oasis if the sea? We are first time cruisers and booked on GS western Mediterranean cruise in July. I thought we have a separate embarkation & disembarkation area? Someone recently posted that it just goes back to general line.Since I get nervous in enclosed spaces - have heard of ppl queuing up for 3-4 hours in corridors to get off their ships. Was expecting GS perk to be easy & not crowded. Any feedback? Tks

The specifics of how things work vary by port, but most have a separate line for suites for embarkation. You should not have any issues with waits either in Rome or Barcelona for that.

For disembarkation, you can just wait in some common area (not a hallway) till your luggage tag is called and you can mostly avoid that wait for that as well.

We have sailed in a GS on Oasis a few times but not in the Med, so not sure about how embarkation will be there.  As far as disembarking and queuing for hours, that is not going to happen with you in a GS.  You will receive suite luggage tags and information from the suite concierge about the disembarking procedures.  In our experience, they will have you meet in Coastal Kitchen and/or the Suite Lounge and then they will escort you to a dedicated elevator.  Once you get off the elevator, one of the concierges will either escort you off the ship or at a minimum, to the front of the line of people waiting to get off the ship.  Really depends on port and current procedures.
