They made us go down to the pier with our suitcases and wait, then 30 minutes before boarding, we had to bring them back up just to get them weighed.

The ride was good and we were only 15 minutes late. The only problem was the rough sea the last 10 minutes of our ride, my daughter almost threw up...
