Thanks folks.

Changed flight to a 3:20 PM departure.

I'll sleep better tonight.

And THANKS to all that responded.

This is a great board community.

Coming into Miami.

Folks

I’m on Equinox and on the return flight after the cruise I booked an early flight. 830 AM to be exact.

Last time on Celebrity I watched the early folks “carry on only” folks leave just after 6 AM. Looked like, with Uber, I could have made the early flight.

Now I have concerns about the timing.

How does the early disembark work and can I get off around 630 AM?

Any experiences to share?

Thanks

Cross-posting on Celebrity also.

My wife and I went on our first Celebrity cruise last year and had a great time. Price was better than prices for current 2018 equivalent cruises. It may have been a promotional rate, less than 800 with no extras, obstructed balcony.

We are looking again and see higher prices for Celebrity around 1200, occasionally with a room credit.......however Holland has pricing in the same range as our previous Celebrity cruise. Having been on Holland years ago, I consider them comparable, provided Holland has not slipped backwards since 2007 or so.

What am I overlooking that could account for the difference in prices? Hidden charges, reduced level of service, something else?

My wife and I have decided to do the 7 day Pride of America in April 2016.

I have read a number of posts that indicate pricing can drop appreciably nearer departure date.

We have flights booked using miles, so the week is set.

How should I navigate to get better pricing?

I'm not necessarily looking for rock bottom pricing, but something less than full retail, and early enough we are not at the back of the ship.

Anyone have some suggestions, prior experience to share?

Thanks,
