The "normal red carpet time" is the entire boarding time. That is the point of the benefit.

When you say "board as mortal people" that implies disdain that 1Ks think of themselves as special. But...

"Live" shots are hard to determine but the one I'm seeing now shows it completely submerged. Since all the boats and tugs are still in the area I assume it is floating just below the surface.

Maybe this issue just bothers marketing professionals. :) I've got some marketing background as well and the botched effort smacks of amateurism.
