also allow another hour for traffic as you approach Ft. L and the security to get onto the port property (in your car). Sometimes it is a breeze and other times a real pain time wise.

Then there is a bit of time after you drop luggage at pier to go park and walk back to boarding area......only to stand in line and wait to board.....if they allow 4 hours to board, resist the temtation to get there "early" as you will only wait in line. If you get there the 3rd and 4th hour there is rarely much of a wait at all.

Enjoy the cruise.

Like all other mass transportation, getting there and departing for home are the most annoying.
