Arrived at port at 1:30pm and parked in lot directly in front of the ship. Easy Peasy.
We took our luggage to a long line of people waiting to check in their baggage. We stood in line for at least 30 minutes. Was not pleasant. It appeared they didn't have enough porters. More on that in a bit.
We proceeded to the check in building. Waited over one hour to check in and we were in the Casino line. It was obvious that they didn't have nearly enough staff checking people in. Upon asking if they had call offs they said since it was the day after Halloween over 30 people did not show up. Worst experience checking in we've ever experienced cruising. In any case, it was a slight inconvenience to us but to some it was the end of the world.
