Boarding the ship

Boarding the ship can take a little while and can be a little taxing given the crowdedness.

The passenger terminal is essentially just a huge shed and isn't particularly welcoming.

It took us about half an hour from start to finish which is better than many airports however.

When you finally reach the counter they give you a simple map of the ship and your SeaPass card, which is how you get into your room.

You can link your SeaPass card to your credit card and use it to charge drinks and other items during your cruise, which means you don't need to carry around a wallet.
