My first cruise was on commodore! I dont remember the boat we were on, but i know it was retired directly after our cruise...
It was wonderful despite all of the mishaps and misfortunes we had along the way!

We ALWAYS fly down a day before.
On our first ever cruise, my Dad stayed home and my brother, Mom, Grandma and I went together. My dad wanted to take my brother and I to McDonalds for breakfast inside CVG airport and my mom kept telling him we were going to be late, but he didn't listen. We walked up to the gate just in time to see our plane leaving the runway! Our cruise was boarding later that same day, so Mom frantically spoke with a flight attendant who was able to get us on another flight across the terminal. We had to run to the other end of the terminal in order to make it!
Last year, my BF and I traveled on AOS during September. We planned to go down a day early and visit San Juan. We flew on US Airways and had the WORST FLIGHT EVER! We had three medical emergencies, the staff "timed out" and we had to wait for another pilot...then there was a line to get on the tarmack. It was crazy. We were basically held hostage for 7 hours on the plane. They let us out to eat in the food court, only to send security out for us 20 minutes later. We ended up getting into San Juan and settled into our hotel around 9 PM- missing the whole day in San Juan.
There are just so many things that could go wrong and things that are out of your hands. I would ALWAYS plan to be in the departure city the day before. Even driving- what if the expressway is shut down because of a major accident? It's just better to be safe than sorry! And its also fun to get into vacation mode before boarding. :D
