Missing the boat?

[2CBEDDY]

We are flying to our port the day of the cruise, as we got an amazing price on our airline tickets for flying on Sunday....Has anyone ever missed the boat by doing this...I am starting to get nervous that we made a mistake!

It all depends on weather, arrival time and is it a connecting flight? Please give us more info.

Rare, but it has happened. They will not wait for you if your flight is delayed. Keep your fingers crossed.

Which airport? Which port?

[doone]

Are you flying non-stop? How much time do you have between landing and sailing???

Suggestion, get traveler's insurance.

We are flying from Cleveland, OH, changing planes in Memphis, TN and arriving in San Juan at 2:25...The ship is scheduled to depart at 8:30pm

 

Hopefully all goes well and we don't miss the boat!

Which airline?

Do you have a backup plan if there's a burp in the system?

Travel insurance?

 

Indeed, hope all goes well for you.

Of course people have missed the boat.

2CBEDDY: Try posting your question over in the Cruise Air forum, under Cruise Discussion Topics. There are some very knowledgeable folks over there who can help you set up a Plan B, in case there are any delays or problems (things like getting onto alternate flights, etc.) Good luck to you, and enjoy your cruise!

That does sound risky, but it will make it exciting. How long do you have in transit? That could make all the difference! Some airlines allow minimum times of less than an hour which seems like a very risky option if you are meeting a cruise ship.... :D :D :D

Hello,

 

There is an excellent website called FLIGHTSTATS that will provide you will lots of information about airports all over the world.

 

Do some research about connections between Memphis and San Juan so that you have a plan B to use if you miss your connecting flight.

 

Hope that this helps.

Well, at least you do have some slop-time in your arrival.

[2CBEDDY]

Thank you, I will check out the cruise air site and also thankyou for the airport information, as of right now the flights are scheduled as planned!

 

Next time we will be staying in port the night before!!
