On a previous cruise (river, not ocean) we missed our transatlantic flight because we listened to a travel agent wanna-be. The best the airline could do was get us to Prague 30 hours late, so we completely missed our first days in Prague. Viking assured us, no worries, they would meet us at the airport and get us to the ship, already at its first stop. Sure enough, Viking agents at the exit from baggage claim, our names on a sign, and a private car to get us to the ship. At the first sign of the car nearing the dock, a gang of officers and crew descended on the car and scooped up all the luggage, including our carryons. The last office, looking a little forlorn with nothing to carry, looked over at me, and offered me his arm. My DH later said he expected me to have been scooped up, too.
