I was on Legend Aug. 2016 for Alaska. Just wanted to be the first to wish you, "Merry Christmas." We often visit NYC and Boston for Christmas and a few years ago it was 75* in NYC on Christmas Eve. The weather is always unpredictable. However, I hope all goes well on your drive to/from Baltimore in Dec. You had a bad flight home from Mardi Gras. I just hope you don't hit any early winter snowstorm in Dec. Thanks, but I am sure it has nothing to do with me. Thank you for your early holiday wishes and same to you. It's a risk for sure. Kiddo finishes school on a that prior Friday, so we have about a one-day margin of error based on weather; if the forecast looks really awful for the weekend we might even play hooky to get ahead of it. Same on the way back. If skies are clear we will drive all the way home on debark morning but if it's awful we can stay out there a day or so until conditions improve. On the other hand, if weather is rough, the drive to and from the Chicago airports is no picnic either, and the flight itself could be in question. We do buy the Carnival insurance every time even though we read all over how terrible it is and you should get it from a 3rd party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not trying to jinx you but the risk will probably be in some of the higher elevations along the route. Good luck, and I see there are some live postings going on now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang it, I meant to call the Fun Shops a have a bottle of Tito's Handmade Vodka sent to your suite. I thought, "Tom and Cheryl in the Presidential Suite," and they'd figure it out. They actually were in a BGS on that cruise - Big Giant Suite. They shared it with us all during a cabin crawl. We chuckled at the time but I feel certain the Tito's would have made it to the correct location. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
