40 Photos That Show The Wrong Side Of Cruise Ships

Not a Glamorous Boarding

Boarding a cruise ship isn’t the smooth, elegant process many imagine. Instead of a red carpet welcome, passengers often face long lines, crowded terminals, and the stress of managing luggage while navigating the busy docks. It can feel more like rushing through an airport than beginning a luxury vacation.

The scene is anything but relaxing. With people eager to get onboard and claim their cabins, the atmosphere can get intense. The dock may seem like a good place for a selfie, but it’s actually chaotic—definitely not the best spot to pause and pose.
