I guess I hit it at a bad time. On my last cruise just last month, after I dropped off the rest of the party, I went ot go park. The parking lot is very close as has been mentioned but there were so many people trying to do the exact same thing that it took over 20 minutes to get from the drop off area to the parking gate where you pay (pay as you enter). They even had both of their cashier lines open. Then during the brief walk back, everyone had to show ID (again) before getting close to the building (more ID checks later also). There were lots of family groups who didn't do the drop off thing, so everyone had to show ID. It was even the same CM who was checking IDs there as checked mine initially when I drove in 25 minutes before. Luckily she remembered me when I finally got up to her & she didn't need to check my name off the list (again). So needless to say, the rest of my party had gone as far as they could without me at the check in & was wondering what took so long. Like I said, guess I hit a bad time. I pick the worst lines in the grocery store also!
