The trip needs to be clearer about having to get your tickets before you arrive or you are in the standby line. We did manage to get to see everything we wanted and it was a full day, we arrived at 9, went on the standby list at 9:15am and got on the 11:30am boat. We managed to see everything but the bowfin sub and came back to that after the Missouri and aircraft museum. We did rush through the aircraft hanger so if you want to take more time…”
