EMBARKATION
This took about 40 minutes end-to-end, which was much faster than other cruises I have been on.
Disembarkation at ports was well managed and fast, aside from one occasion when it was complete chaos after a docking delay, as passengers were not provided with revised timings. Timely information was provided on the procedure at ports, plus advice on local customs, tourist vulnerabilities etc. Immigration officers were invited on board to process visas on the way to India, which was an excellent arrangement, providing a smooth transition and additional time in port.
