Travel To Port of Embarkation We arrived from Milwaukee at 12:15pm, leaving Milwaukee at 6:30am via Northwest. There is a station with cruise lines where you check in right by the baggage pick up area. You give them the vouchers if you paid for the transportation between the airport and the port. They said the buses run every 30 minutes. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for a bus that was fully loaded when it arrived but they squeezed us in. The bus was in a very bad state and had a horrible odor coming from the bathroom on board.
CLUE #1: Take out some comfortable clothes from your luggage before you put on the bus as it may be a long time until you see your luggage next. We didnt and were sorry. WE put our luggage on the bus at 1:45pm, arrived at the port around 3:30pm where they unload and deliver your luggage to your room.
