Travel

It is very important to arrive on time. The letter states to arrive at 9:30 am but this means for the group to be at the terminal doors at 9:30 am. We ask for everyone to arrive at the port with enough time to find parking, check in regular cruise luggage and make their way over to the terminal. Everyone should have their ID’s and boarding passes handy when they get to the terminal doors
