Boarding Big Ship

i had today enough time to take a lon tug walk through coastal park and the Corniche of Abu Dhabi. The park has an interesting green labyrinth to explore. On the corniche there are flowers and objects of art. I was returning via coastal promenade up to the Sheraton Hotel who has a private beach.
In the middle of the day I packed my backpack and boatded bus 9 heading to Port Zayed. The men’s part of the bus was full. I took a seat in the ladie’s compartment. Did I broke the law?
From the last stop of bus 9 it was only 100 m to the terminal. Since I am GOLD passenger of Costa we skip the long check-in line of Kazakh people. It seems that they form majority on this cruise. At 2 pm we were already on board of this huge ship. It has capacity of about 6000 passengers. It is my first time on Costa Smeralda, but I already know that it will not be my favorite ship! We will depart at 10pm.
