Anyone missed a cruise take off?

Question

so yea. out flight was canceled and we hafta fly to the first port to meet up with the ship, has this happened to ne one and is it a hastle?

Answer 1

It happened to some people who were on a cruise with us this June, some family members in another city.  They were flown to meet the boat in Glacier Bay, AK, which to say the least was exciting for all involved.  The cruise lines are really good about it and usually reimburse you for any othe expenses, plus you should get a some freebies on board as well.

Answer 2

This is a great lesson for everyone.  Get to the cruise departure city one day early.  Stay in a nearby hotel and most hotels will have shuttle service to the cruise ship.

You will have missed a day or two of your cruise and you will not get any refunds.  Sorry it happened but it could have easily been prevented.

Answer 3

always get to your port city a day early  ..always always

Answer 4

No.  We have always sailed from the west coast and we just drive.  On practically every cruise though there were some that missed and one group got there, but their luggage didn't.  If your flying, go a day early!!!

Answer 5

No, thankfully. We always fly to the cruiseport the day before the ship sails. You just can't count on the weather, mechanicals or the airlines.

Answer 6

Nope!

And i`m sorry that happened to youu!!=)

Answer 7

Yes on my honeymoon!!  No big deal just make sure they will have you on the list when you arrive at the port b/c without that they won't let you on.  Everyone else has already got there ship card to get them back on.  

Just inform the cruise line you will be hoping on and they willput you on the list otherwise there willbe trouble
