Just found a bit more:

Our first call was Arromanches’ we dropped anchor, some distance from the French coast, we lowered the landing crafts , dispatching over 1500 troops, not knowing, but hoping they would fulfil their tasks. During the next eight days we did three more landings at different beaches, the last one deploying Americans near Cherbourg, this proved to be the end for us, as the Glenroy hit a mine. With the engine room flooded to a depth of 35 feet most of the ships crew were evacuated and we were towed by three French tugs back to Southampton, and then to dry dock for repair and re-fit in Cardiff.

I suppose that it would be standing room only, under the circumstances.
