EMBARKATION: Upon arriving at the port, the traffic was a bit hairy. Once you got out and got going it was ok, but the sign posted that said that tipping was not necessary was posted so that you would see it after the fact, but either way...
The multiple cue lines were a decent idea, and the first cue line directing you to the appropriate station was all right, but kind of slowed down the flow of traffic. I found it amusing that the people who did web check in had to wait longer in line than those who didn't and they did web check in to save time. HA!
