Creator's Key Takeaways

We've queueed to get off and wait for the shuttle, which we had to pay for, and queue to get back on and weren't told.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? Literally, this is how far we are to get on the shuttle right around the back of the street.

An hour to get back. So you have to take that into consideration, don't you? An hour.

Cruising is the way forward.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan for long queues when returning to the ship from port.
Consider the shuttle bus timing to avoid missing the ship.
