If it was a HAL booked flight, won't they wait

 

Yes -- it is due to arrive in a reasonable time.

 

I don't know of too many people who use the cruise line flights -- we certainly don't.

I got it corrected.

I don't use cruise air, but I fly in at least one, preferably two or three days early. And stay a day later. Less stress

There were two Caribe's under Commodore.  This pic is not the one that became Regal Empress.  

Copper John, you are the best, and you are going to be the HAL historian after Captain Albert.  See if you have the other one as well.

Behemoth of the Seas is backing up so she will leave before the NA and the NS.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Harmony of the Sea next.

Not only do the cruise ships have right of way, they are also MUCH bigger

With stupid flights here, we also fly in 2 or 3 days early and stay an extra day.  Plus we have to stay at an airport hotel before we fly out and one when we get home before we start driving home.

That is the one!  You never let me down.

Some six-pack boater getting the riot act read by the hard-working Coasties; "they're bigger than you so you're gonna get squashed" 

[lka1012]

Well gotta go to a meeting. Catch everyone later

I'm one who does, depending upon the itinerary and HAL's price.  On open jaw flights internationally, HAL's fares beat anything that I ever find on my own.  Once in awhile, my TA will find a better price, but rarely.

 

For my flights this Summer to/from Vancouver for a couple of Alaska cruises, HAL's prices were better than I was finding.

Wasn't this ship the Greek Line's Olympia originally?

That's what delayed Harmony - communicable disease going around the port ships?

NA underway.
