Missed departure

We missed our ship in San Juan on Sunday due to cancelled flights in Boston. Now trying to catch it at another port. The ship is set to leave port at 5pm, our plane arrives at 3:30 the airport is only five minutes away, ship is aware we are coming..... Are we going to make it. Anyone have this experience..?

No one could possibly know if you'll make it, but if your flight is on time, it seems possible. What port? Did you arrange a pick up at the airport to the ship, or are you talking a cab?

Good luck!!

Given the circumstances and if as you say the ship knows you are coming, if the flight is on time and you are able to get your luggage and a cab without delay I would think you should be able to make it.

I would think that the cruise line / ship might notify the port agent of your situation and they may be able to help expedite your transfer to the ship after you land. Maybe contact the cruise line to check.

Just curious, what island are you flying into?

Which port?

Would help if you can carry on or gate check all luggage.

Not likely unless all they need for the cruise will fit in one small carry on and a second personal item for each passenger and that is what they packed originally - or have since had a chance to repack into. The airlines will not let you get through security or to the gate to gate check with large pieces of luggage.

You make me feel better.... That's what I'm thinking. I have seen stragglers 30min before departure

Good Luck. Hope you make it If you received permission from the cr uised line by e-mail. Ber sure to print and carrry the e-mail with you to show if neded when you try to enter the port area. You mus gt have permission orr be on thei manifegt or could have trouble going to the gangway.

Lert us know how i it goes. Hope you make it. There are still people at Boston's Logan that have not yet gotten a flight out..

Good luck. Advise for future cruises, always always always get to the city you're sailing from the day before you embark. (Hey, someone was going to eventually post this)

:confused: Then why were you not in San Juan? The airports in thte northeast were not closed days in advance of the storm

From where were you flying?

I retract my comments as the OP has confirmed carry on only.

Murphy strikes again.

Good luck catching your cruise in Antigua.

Didn't the storm hit Boston on Thurs? That would have certainly impacted their departure.

I think you will make it with flying colors. Hope you post back so we can celebrate with you.:D:D

Wishing you good luck with this.

deleted comment as I am unable to tell from the OPs statement

whether their three days pre cruise was previously cancelled due to hurricane damage (my initial thought) or they spent all of those three days snowed in at home

As luck or lack of, our flight was Seattle to Boston to San Juan. Which was delayed In Seattle, delayed then cancelled in Boston. The earliest that airline could do was rebook on 13 Jan. Only available flight was 4.30pm Tampa on the 7 Jan. Ship sailed at 9pm on that day. No flights available for st Thomas. Earliest was Orlando to Miami to Antigua.

Rented a car drove to Orlando now waiting to fly. Its been a long haul.....

The last 20 minutes of our flight to Boston was violent, many motion sick people. Only one more flight came in behind us, then airport shut down. After that it was chaos. Felt bad for the families with small kids sleeping at the airport.
