Much better on landing, waited 35 minutes for bags, then Carnival reps waiting outside baggage claim and 4 busses to Hotel. We landed at Gatwick and took busses to Heathrow, Raddisson blu. Very nice hotel checked us all in in ballroom, fairly quick. Went and ate and back in room. Exhausted, they have busses all times to both airports tomorrow, think we will do a cab, Were told to save all receipts and send in for reimbursement. Hotel already paid for. Others in our group had other flights (all made it out), everyone on a flight goes to same hotel (different from ours. will see them in airport tomorrow. I am beat.

So it was a very interesting day. Crew was fantastic, off the charts, especially when they were up all night. Once we got to the airport, things unravelled somewhat. We were told to chill and come back at 12:15 for check in starting at 12:30. Vouchers they gave us were not accepted in places outside security, told us to ty inside. There were 200 Carnival guests trying to check in for charter. Two reps came late and first two guests were handicapped and much discussion and absolutely nothing happening for 45 minutes. Turns out it was about the batteries in their power chairs. 45 minutes and not one person thru check in. We were maybe 1/3 back and got checked in at 1:50 for 2:30 flight. The walk over to security, then thru customs, were told to run for flight. They ended up waiting for all to get on plane.

Then at midnight we had a knock on the door. One of the entertainers telling us we had to be packed and be in butterflies by 8. Long story short, thought it was for all of us. Woke everybody up and got them packing. Turns out just our cabin. Long lines at GS to find this out. Some packed and ready to go and some in limbo till rest of info comes thru. To quote a Grateful Dead song “what a long strange trip its been”. now if I could get our laundry we sent out…….
