How to read this board

• XX% free = estimated empty vehicle space. FULL · 0% free = no car room reported.
• cars ~N% free uses the car-deck fill when the board publishes it (most useful if you drive).
• Only upcoming (future) sailings are listed. Current/past boats often show fill=0 on public boards — we do not fake those as empty.
• Oversize (RVs, trailers) fills faster — if free is under ~30%, book or wait.
