Dangerous boarding process
I wanted to let everyone know about the absolute disaster it was to board the Sun Princess on August 17th in Athens. We boarded during a MAJOR Greek holiday. As such, there were very few officials (2?!) to check passports and scan luggage. The whole process took four hours. Three were spent in a very hot tent with no AC. Outside temperatures were above 90 degrees. At least one person collapsed due to heat exhaustion. The last hour was to check luggage. Overall, a terrible and dangerous experience. They did hand out bottles of water otherwise I might have fainted. No compensations from Sun Princess and I'm not holding my breath. People are on edge and unhappy. The company made on brief announcement apologizing but blamed the port/Greece. This should have been easily preventable by Princess.
