I'm not fond of the cruise terminal; it's not air conditioned and has no seats, so a long line can be miserable. The locals are very friendly and helpful, and there are several museums very close, as well as shopping on the Strand. Boarding is from 11:30 - 3:00. (We asked; the staff at terminal said best time to arrive was either 9:30 or after 2:00.) We arrived at 2 pm and sailed right through, with a brief wait to get our room cards. Leaving the ship, we were in the first self-assist group (pick up a ticket at Customer Service the day before, being queuing at least 15 minutes early) and again, sailed right through. Both were between 30-45 minutes. Bring an ice chest, and stop by the local fish market (the pier is just down from the cruise terminal) to buy some fresh shrimp and fish. They'll supply the ice. Ask any local for recommendations. We went to Katee Fish Market and were pleased.
