Used VeriFLY in Long Beach last week. I parked car in cruise lot, 5 min to check in, showed VeriFLY pass and I was directed to ship. Was on ship 15 min from when I locked my car in parking lot.

We will be on the Vista in 40 days. I was sorta hoping it will stay around 75% capacity...Our last cruise in December it was like 50% capacity and was so awesome to not worry about long lines for most stuff on the ship.

It was high because of it being the Sailabration cruise so may go back down a bit but with summer coming I think it will continue to go back up.
