Pros:
Deliv ring from ship to car rental placeCons:
Only one worker and she was so swamped that drop off was long wait until she said just leave key and she would do it and stay after hours to check us in. It was no her fault. She did ev rethink as fast and quick just 6 people checking in cars and getting back to ship was a nightmare for her. Company should provide more workers the few days cruise ship is in port.10,0 Wonderful
