I've been reading loads of cruise reviews for months now and have noticed something strange- well strange for Australians. It seems that lots of people do tours and activities on the first day of the cruise (the embarkation day) before getting to the port in the afternoon to check in and board the ship. This seems odd as this is not the norm on Australian ships. We usually start driving to the terminal at 9am and arrive at 10am to check in an wait. Its not just our family- its everyone. We all gather in the terminal waiting and waiting to be allowed on the ship. Boarding usually starts at 11am and everyone is on by 2pm at the latest.
Another strange thing is the cabins aren't ready until the afternoon. That's the first thing we look at as soon as we board. I'm not knocking it, im just fascinated :)
With all that said and I think we are going to head to the terminal as soon as we can and get rid of our luggage. The Aloha Tower seems close by so maybe we'd go and check that out.
We are super excited to cruise with a different cruiseline- after 9 cruises with P&O Australia we are ready for a change!
