What You Can Do
First and foremost, continue to follow health authority guidelines and protocols. Please continue to wash your hands, maintain appropriate social distance, and wear a mask upon exiting your vehicle. This protects yourself, your fellow passengers, and our crew.
Make a reservation and book online. Reservations are required, and no cash will be accepted until further notice. The more you can do in advance, the better, and while we normally enjoy the interaction with you, at this time it’s best to limit that as much as possible. If you must call, Call Center staffing will be reduced to further protect our employees, so anticipate longer wait times.
Please listen for instructions! All announcements will be made via our on-board PA system, so we’d ask that you keep an ear out for them.
