Praise for RCL boarding/debarkation process in Miami

Just back from a 7-night cruise on the Allure out of Miami. We are very experienced cruisers and know to pack our patience when boarding and again at the end of the cruise when we debark. I must say that the new RCL app made the boarding process painless. Basically we walked right from the curb (after giving our luggage to the porters there) directly onto the ship without having to stop and fill out any paperwork, etc. Similarly, when exiting the ship we got our bags (with help from a porter) and walked out to the facial recognition citizen ID system and were on our way home. No need to even talk to a customs agent or fill out any forms.

I appreciate the info!! I am leaving for my first cruise Sunday and am getting extremely nervous (?). It all seems very easy and casual.
 
Good to hear. We will be sailing out of there in Summer 2020. Id guess a lot of people will be sailing out of Miami next year with the Port Everglades construction happening.
 


I agree @OKW Lover !! We just returned from the Allure, too! First time cruisers so we have nothing to compare it too but we were on and off the ship VERY fast!!
