We decided to drive down yesterday so we were not stressed from the drive today. The drive from the hotel was a bout 5 minutes. Then waited to park the car. It was on us as we were early, they dont open until 830a. Then we parked the car and slowly walked our 4 blocks to the cruise terminal.
There we waited about an hour in line, only to have the green line, most of which arrived after us, to proceed to enter first.
Once we were finally allowed to go to check-in it went quickly. Then we walked to be seated to wait until the actual embarkation process. It should commence in about 30 minutes.
The vacation shall now begin.
