Delta threw a Wrinkle in Our Flight Schedule

We're due to sail on the Ruby Princess next month. When we booked our flights, we booked a return flight that had a 2 PM departure time. When reviewing our reservation this morning, I noticed that Delta, in its infinite wisdom, moved our departure time to 11:49AM.

Our other choice would be a flight that departs a full 12 hours later at midnight, and since we will have our 1 1/2 year old granddaughter with us, our choices pretty much stink.

How likely are we to make an 11:49 AM flight time ?

You may make it, but it will be tight. The other flight option is not good, either. My suggestion? Stay another night in a hotel, and fly home the next day at your leisure. Less stressful.

Guessing you are sailing Alaska, but can't guess if you are sailing Seattle or Vancouver. But a little bit of reading on this board would reveal 11:30 flights are recommended at Seattle, but noon at Vancouver.

Since it's the Ruby which is doing RT Seattle all summer, you should be OK.

Make sure you get an early disembarkation slot and prearrange your transport to Seatac.

Thanks for the quick replies. We took the safe option, booked a hotel, and are flying out the following morning.

Glad to hear that. Why ruin a great vacation stressing about the flight home? Better to relax one more day! 😎
