Most of the clothes I pack for cruises aren't prone to wrinkling. Only my linen shirts might get a little wrinkly, but nothing some downy wrinkle release spray won't handle. I have packed my husband's clothes this way twice now and the trick is to put more wrinkle-prone items on the bottom/outside of the bundle. Has worked really well for his slacks and his collection of Tommy Bahama shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PTC DAWG Posted March 18, 2022 #128 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Bad storms came through the ATL area a while, hence the delay, much better now…I hope you made it through.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even left Rochester yet. Flight out was delayed a little over an hour. Looks like I don't need to worry about my connection being too tight, because I suspect my flight from ATL to MIA will also be delayed. The flight before that on the same plane is delayed 49 minutes according to Flight Aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Miami departures are all backed up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamieLogical Posted March 18, 2022 Author #132 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It's official that my flight from ATL to MIA is now delayed about an hour as well, so I will now have the same layover in ATL as before. Just means I'll be getting to bed super late tonight. Good thing I don't have anywhere to be until 11:30 tomorrow morning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamieLogical Posted March 19, 2022 Author #134 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Made it to Atlanta. The plane for my next flight just finished letting everyone off, so we should be boarding soon. Should be to Miami around 1:20, then a quick Uber (too late for the shuttle) to my hotel for some much needed sleep!

Rare JamieLogical Posted March 19, 2022 Author #135 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Well, we've been sitting on the plane for over an hour now. Apparently none of the luggage was loaded. All the passengers were onboard but there were over 100 bags missing. They have since loaded 4-5 carts full of luggage, so I think we have got to be getting close to being able to take off. Our already late departure time was supposed to be 11:31 (original was 10:39). It is now 12:28 and the luggage conveyor just pulled away from the plane.

I did make it to Miami and I had the forethought to call the hotel from the plane in Atlanta to make sure they could/would hold the room when it became evident we wouldn't be getting to Miami until 3:00 or later. Turns out I did get to the hotel right a 3:00, so I am operating on very little sleep. On the plus side, that means I wasn't up at 6:00 trying to kill 5 hours before heading to the pier! I kept forcing myself back to sleep when I started waking up around 7:00 and managed to get a little more sleep before 9:00 when I gave up on trying to sleep in anymore. Having some much needed coffee now and then I will shower and dress and should not have to wait around too long before leaving the hotel at 11:00. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted March 19, 2022 #140 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Have a mimosa on me when you board. You deserve it. I’ve always said, with the airlines, there are certain things out of their control (i.e. weather) that I understand. But, not getting luggage on the plane? Not having someone to drive the jet bridge? They are their own worst enemies, and their paying passengers are the victims of their ineptness. Edited March 19, 2022 by graphicguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilot apologized several times and said "we're better than this", so he clearly thought these delays were inexcusable, whereas the original delay was just a cascade from bad storms passing through Atlanta earlier in the day. There was just no excuse for us having to sit on the plane for well over an hour while they tracked down and loaded over 100 missing bags!

scrapcreator Posted March 19, 2022 #143 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Ugh, 3 am. I'm glad your flight crew didn't time out on you! We've had that happen as well as no jet bridge crew on arrival. As ymncruise said, the worst is behind you. Bon voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on a flight out of Toronto to the UK a few years back, the flight was delayed like an hour then it was delayed because the luggage cart hit the plane ( not sure how that happened as the plane is kinda big) so we had to switch planes. I think my 8pm flight out of Toronto eventually left around 11pm. The brightside was had less time to try and stay awake when I got to London, but was just very tired.

Rare JamieLogical Posted March 19, 2022 Author #148 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I believe this was a new boarding time record for me. Uber dropped me at the porter at exactly 11:30 and I stepped off the gangway and onto the ship at 11:39. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted March 19, 2022 #149 Share Posted March 19, 2022 May I suggest you try a Bloody Caesar? It’s similar to a Bloody Mary but much better IMHO. It’s the traditional brunch beverage in Canada. Enjoy your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
