🧭 How to play this day

CROWD-TACTICAL

Busy turnaround days push this port to its satellite lot, where the big complaint is long shuttle waits in both directions. Save yourself the hassle: get dropped off at the terminal instead of parking on-site. If you do park, keep the same credit card handy — the lots bill the card used on entry, and exit-lane confusion delays everyone behind you.

Why is this crowded?

2 ships are scheduled today, representing approximately 7,668 passengers of combined capacity.

Compared with other cruise days: Well above average for this port.
