Boarded the Dream this morning for a 3-night CC cruise. This is our 4th post-Covid cruise.

10:15 PAT, Boarding Group 3.

Arrived at 10:20 to a very long line of cars to check bags. It took about and one hour to check bags, Covid test, and park. But, on our three previous cruises it took about 45 minutes to receive Clear-to-Board, today was only about 30 minutes.

There was a long line for passport checks and security. Where in the past cruises you could board immediately once you cleared security, they are now using Boarding Groups. We arrived in the terminal at 12:05 and only Groups 1 and 2 we're boarding. Once they called Group 3, the line stretched back to the escalators. We were toward the front of group 3, but it still took another 30 minutes to finally get on board.

Total time from arrival to sitting down for lunch was 2.5 hours. Our previous 3 cruises we made it from arrival at the port to lunch in around 90 minutes.

They estimate around 1,700 passangers for this trip.

It’s crazy how numbers fluctuate we were on the dream 3 night Jan 28-31 and it was empty they said 1100 people but there was no lines for anything felt we had the ship to ourselves most of the time.
 
I was on the Jan 31 Dream, just got off this morning. 1020 passengers, 0 lines. We got to port at 11:22, had PAT of 11-11:15. Pulled right up to luggage drop and breezed right through to the swabbing. We were parked and waiting on results at 11:37. Clear to sail came through at 12:13. No line to get through security. Waited maybe 5 mins in the terminal before they called our boarding group (8). 10ish min line to get through the mini welcome aboard show process. We were already on deck 11, drinks in hand, by 1
