Traveler Tips
- "If it is a misty/drizzly day, get in line early to find a seat inside or in a covered area." See review
- "If traveling with young children, you may want to take noise-cancelling earphones, as the horn that sounds upon leaving port, re-entering, or passing another boat is very loud, jolting, and prolonged." See review
- "There’s plenty of seating, no need to hurry up and queue up to score a seat." See review
