Hi there. I get the impression that boarding formalities are now, understandably, taking a lot longer at present. We are boarding the Silver Muse in Melbourne next month and as we live in Melbourne we are very flexible in our arrival time at the port. I know the official boarding time is 2-4 however I prefer to miss the “rush hour”. I understand a coach will bring guests from the pre-cruise hotel and this can lead to long wait times. I would be Interested in guests recent experiences in this regard.
