tanyaewa Posted February 16, 2014 #130 Share Posted February 16, 2014 "We are flying home. I booked the tickets there with one carrier and the return tickets with a different carrier. I am a shopper and have found it less expensive to book one way at a time. The car is being shipped back for $500.00. It will be picked up on Monday and back home by Friday. The refunded tickets totaled $1400 for the four of us so we are still financially better off." Hey maybe you just found a new way to go every time - lol Great thread, thanks for sharing. Kept picturing having to dive all the way to San Diego (for me) and shuddered at the thought! ENJOY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusieToy Posted February 16, 2014 #131 Share Posted February 16, 2014 In our cabin and had our first DOD. It was good. We are heading up to Serenity and I am getting another DOD. We already met some people that were following my thread. Again, a big thank you to all of you that had such encouraging words. This cruise is very special after what we had to do to get here. I will post on my return. Cheers! Christine WOW! If ever there was a thread that showed how much some people love cruising this was it! Enjoy.

cbMcruiser Posted February 21, 2014 #133 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This is probably one of the best threads I have ever read on CC. It was almost like we were all in the vehicle with them. I haven't smiled this much in a long time. Great adventure.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContingentSea Posted February 21, 2014 #134 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) What an enjoyable thread to read and follow! Maybe this will start a trend with CC members who drive to their port destinations. Edited February 21, 2014 by ContingentSea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobocai Posted February 21, 2014 #135 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This was better than a GOOD book, I could not read fast enough!!! So glad you made it, and you were safe!! I hope your cruise is wonderful!!! :D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Do-Over Posted February 21, 2014 #136 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Keep in touch with the airline... if you never arrive for the outbound half of your trip, the airline may cancel your return trip... I've had it happen! Download the airline app, if there is one. Delta has one that we used in Ft. Lauderdale last month... tornado warnings in Atlanta grounded 5 flights out of FTL. The app showed updated departure times (and let us compare options). We shopped for everyone sitting near us as they considered flights that connected out of other cities.

Rare rrraydon Posted February 21, 2014 #137 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Definately a good thread! Reminds me of our RC thread back on the Fantasy 08/10 when my daughter went into labor early a few hours before we were due to leave for the drive to SC..complications...eventually a c-section..didn't think that baby was ever going to come!!..made it to SC just in the nick of time..posting hourly updates throughout the drama.. wasn't sure we were going to make the cruise.. oh, I feel her stress, let me go get a DOD.. Oh wait.. I'm not on a ship...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DREAMGIRL2012 Posted February 23, 2014 Author #139 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Currently at the Miami airport waiting for our flight home. We had a fantastic cruise! It was worth the 28 hour drive from he**. We had great weather and our excursions were awesome. We booked a boat in Aruba for snorkeling that included food and drinks. The charter company was great. Time to think about the next cruise. I don't think I will book in February again. I am not looking forward to returning to the Arctic that we call home. I guess I need to get back to work to save for the next adventure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I am not sure about a review. I don!t think I will have time and don!t want to keep anyone hanging. I would be happy to answer any questions about the Breeze or our excursions. We did the Bayahibe Beach in La Romana and a private charter in Aruba.

cantwaittogo Posted November 27, 2014 #149 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We too are flying US Airways for our January cruise, thank god I add a two day cushion both there and home! They are are terrible about canceling flights! My daughter flew with them in October from Flint, MI to Nashville, she had a plane change in Chicago, out of the four legs there and back, they canceled one flight and changed two other! Really creates a nightmare when you are trying to get somewhere! Travel safely and enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
