We flew in this a.m. and had just gotten in a taxi headed for the port when we received RCCL's message at 10 a.m. Surely they knew and could have notified us way before that. ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember those of us that don't live in Florida make our flight arrangements months in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I think they might be talking about flights returning home after the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember those of us that don't live in Florida make our flight arrangements months in advance. I wasn’t referring to arrivals. I was referring to departures. Many people have missed their early flights home because the ship couldn’t enter the channel due to fog.

Based on weather this coming week, fog maybe around for several days. Also Holland America stopped sailing out of Tampa a few years ago due to fog issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO-Girl Posted November 26, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Just saw a post a few minutes ago from someone onboard and they were still sitting outside the channel. They are not giving them any word as to when they might expect to get back into Tampa….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billandsue Posted November 26, 2022 #19 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I'm on Serenade, and was told by an officer that once the ship starts moving, it will be four hours before we dock in Tampa. Add to that the logistics involved in disembarking, luggage, etc., and he told me I would not make my 3:45 pm. flight (which Southwest said has been delayed to 4:30). They are now serving lunch in the Windjammer, and several bars and pools are open. Casino is closed. I feel bad for those who were scheduled to board today.
