Rare Copper10-8 Posted January 11, 2014 #76 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wow, I hope those passengers appreciated what is being done for them. Mind you, HAL might very well have booked them on that flight, as they usually book "day of" if you opt for the cruise air - an awful risk to take. Not these; they were identified by the port agent as "independents" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Gator Posted January 11, 2014 #77 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Lots of extra anxiety for those pax at the airport Flying in to FLL the day of departure would be a cardiac stress test for me. No way I could do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted January 11, 2014 #78 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Not these; they were identified by the port agent as "independents" In that case, they'd better be super-grateful. they'll be doing the "walk of shame" onto the ship.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lka1012 Posted January 11, 2014 #83 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Like I said the other day, if circumstances forced me (I always fly in early) me to have to cut it that close, my first stop once I made it on ship and cleared all I had to clear would be the nearest bar.

the2ofus Posted January 11, 2014 #84 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just curious.....does it cost the captain $$$ to hold the ship to wait? If not, then it seems the better decision to wait for pax who will spend $$$ once onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transported via ambulance, but not under lights and siren, but heard there are broken bones and possible internal injuries. Bicyclist will be cited.....

Rare Vict0riann Posted January 11, 2014 #94 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Wow! I gambled that Westie would be leaving a bit late, and I think I made it back in time. DH wanted to go into town to pick up some printing, and, as it's pouring, I said I would go too, in case we couldn't find a parking space, I'd go around the block. I'm glad we did it then and got it over with. What an adventure people have, who don't get into town at least a day ahead of a cruise! And it sound like there are still taxis to arrive!
