I've been looking pretty much everyday for the last 4 months and the best I've seen was 10%. Maybe closer to the date I will get a better discount??

Yes we have done this and once on board went to the desk and had it switched. No issues.

We always fly in the day before and our ship sails at 8pm.🤞 Ya, defiantly would have done things differently. All our cruises and Florida trips with a number of different airlines we never had a cancelation, layover or delays. Lucky? I think what makes this different is its San Jaun?? Not as easy to fill a flight from one location??

So after looking for that flight again the other day that I couldn't find, I did find a flight that worked better for us. I called Spirit and had us all rebooked relatively quick and easy. She did stated we could change it free of charge 1 time after that charges will apply. Woke up this morning with a flight change notice again and our new flight changed by 16 minutes. I can handle that change I guess ..lol. Only 2 more months to go. Ya chalking this up to a vacation lesson learned. If I recall we could have taken a direct Delta flight for $600 more. The wife just reminded me ..again🤦‍♂️

Boy does it ever keep changing....Just spent 20 minutes looking and its longer there?It was there last Wednesday. We had our direct canceled, Atlanta and Fort Myers connectors canceled and out of Atlanta at the moment. Lol no stress here yet , unless we miss the cruise send off. My daughter would be really grumpy then. Defiantly appreciate your help.

I am starting to agree I could have made a better choice for airlines for something like this. Not how I want to start or finish our cruise with family and friends. I don't fly enough for the do's and don'ts. I should have checked in sooner with my Cruise Critic Family. They have saved me a boat load of $$ and headaches over the years. They truly have. I am just hoping to get a better connector at this point. Also whatever I do I have 8 people to change up. Oh boy! LOL

Thanks I did not think of that.

Our initial booking was Sept 7. Yes I was just looking at the seat chart, not knowing. The 50 minute layover would be in Orlando.

We initially booked our direct flight from Detroit to San Juan for Feb 2, since that time it has been rescheduled 3 more time with connectors. I was doing some bogus bookings to see how full our flight was and it was only half full, so I do understand the connectors now ?@$!. Is this common? We now have 11 hour layovers. I did find a better connector, but it has a 50 minute layover. Thinking we could make it , but our luggage may not? They have flights to San Juan every weekend for cruises. What are we all doing? I have traveled with Spirit 5 times now without any issues. Dennis

I did see where RC used my Captain's Club # from Celebrity when we just booked our first Rc cruise. Thought that was odd.

I wonder the percentage of people paying gratuities ahead of time to paying as they going?

I stumbled across this and was surprised how much we saved ! Almost 50%. Crazy.

Is the DPB the same for all cruises ? Or does it vary from cruise to cruise? Also have you seen where it was inflated the first day you get the code to purchase it??
