I kinda envisaged if it happened (and couldn't get to any further port) that maybe getting my flight refunded and maybe some FCC (if the cruise line felt generous) and then maybe something from our Credit Card Insurance, although that caps pretty low at $1500/pp . Really hoping not to find out though..... Not as far as I know , Flights by Celebrity couldnt not get them to the ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, if you do board in Miami and decide cruising isn't for you, you can't just quit the cruise in Key West. I too have not tested either of these scenarios. 😉 I googled the question as I thought you could not board in Key West "f you miss your ship in Miami and the first port of call is Key West, Florida, you will be unable to join your ship until it docks in a foreign port, like Mexico or Jamaica.Feb 27, 2023" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I;'d be happy of that was the standard policy for all Carnival lines, but haven't actually read that anywhere 🙂 Edit: found it ... FLY2FUN PROTECTION All Fly2Fun bookings come with flight protection — free! That means you’re covered in case weather conditions or flight changes delay your arrival to the ship. We’ll make alternate flight, hotel and/or ground transportation arrangements and do everything we can to get you to the cruise port in time to board the ship, at no expense to you. If no viable options are available to get you to the ship before departure at the homeport, you will be given a Future Cruise Credit to use toward an alternate Carnival cruise Edited September 5, 2023 by rodndonna more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly for Holland (FlightEase) I see no mention of FCC is missing the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, you could not catch up the ship in KW and complete the remainder of a closed loop cruise back to Miami unless there is a port call in Cartagena or the ABCs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted September 8, 2023 #33 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I just spent hours and days looking for flights from Halifax and home from FLL. Celebrity could not come near the prices I found. I got a cheap flight home with American airlines but going over I ended up booking a return for only $200 more than a one way. Oops . Forced to fly to cruise in Oct 2023 ( London) and home from Paris in the spring . This means I will be taking another TA at that time and no have my return flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamur14 Posted September 10, 2023 #35 Share Posted September 10, 2023 😎 We are doing transatlantic from Rotterdam to Fort Lauderdale 2024.. Are you saying we should check out one way flights using different airlines? Flying from Ft Lauderdale is no issue just from toronto to Amsterdam and then Train to board at Rottetdam. Thanks Anyone done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Anyone done this? We used KLM & AC for YYZ to AMS but also see what the cruise line can offer price wise for both outbound & inbound If you can choose the flight even pay a deviation fee to do so I would & fly in a day or more early Amsterdam is worth a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest you check out multi-destination fares with Air Canada and Air Transat before opting on a one-way for the YYZ to AMS portion of your travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Anyone done this? You have multiple options. You can book an open jaws ticket into AMS and back from FLL with the same airline; you can book two separate tickets, one to AMS and one from FLL, either on the same airline or on two different airlines; you can book directly with the airline(s) or through your crude line. Or you can go to a travel agent and ask them to find the best combination. I like doing the research myself, but I have the time and the inclination to do so. I'm partial to KLM, but would consider any of the airlines flying to AMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early to book what is probably a fall TA in 2024 but here is an example of pricing this year , AMS is the closest international airport to Rotterdam you would need to add baggage to these flight Edited September 10, 2023 by Ex-Airbalancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
