Constellation in Tampa

[georgetheblue]

Celebrity has delayed tomorrow’s check in from 11 am to noon due to customs and border inspection.   Like they didn’t know that was going to happen. Hope there is no fog when they dock like last year.

You and me both. We're on the Constellation right now. Like a lot of passengers, we have a late morning flight to catch. Oh, well. It is what it is.

Is there a late arrival? Or is the arrival as scheduled and the next cruise’s boarding delayed?

Next boarding delayed

It’s 8.30 pm. The Constellation is west of Naples Fl. The local stations are not predicting fog. It’s going to be cloudy and chance of showers.

My guess after doing two westbound crossings is that by the time they zero out the ship with Immigration, the delay of an hour will make it easier for check-ins.  Last October, there were too few inspectors for the passengers, much less the crew. I’ll just be happy to board “whenever”. 👍🎉

So if it is arriving on time, why are people worried about their flight? The delayed boarding is probably due to all the formalities that take place when a ship comes to the US from Europe, extra immigration on the crew, possible public health inspections, things like that

If you find an opportunity, look forward to any impressions/experiences as we are on Constellation next month for the first time.
