CROWD-TACTICALBusy 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 7,294 passengers of combined capacity.
