I'm not sure if we will book with Princess and overpay but have a stress free trip, book and find transfers on our own, or possibly even cancel this cruise for an easier vacation. I have never flown in the day of the cruise, but that is another option, and if I miss the ship, my insurance should cover the missed days and getting me to the ship. I don't think there is a prohibition in England about getting onboard in a different port. Wouldn't want to do it, but none of the options sound great to me. I was willing to pay the $439 X 2 price ($878) that Princess shows on their website, but not the $1036. Decisions, decisions!
