cruisefreaks Posted June 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I need opinions please, Choice Air is offering a Delta flight that arrives in Heathrow at 11:05 am. Am I crazy to come in that late???

cruisefreaks Posted June 29, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Thanks Kamloops50 I agree with you but it's still a little weird. I am used to arriving much earlier and being in a fog due to the time change. I like the late arrival, it's not such a shock to the system. Anyway, I'm booking it and will keep all fingers crossed that everything works as planned. Also hope there are some other cruisers on that flight.......;) Cheers!

zlato Posted July 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2014 DW and I always go at least 1-2 days earlier to the embarkation city. Greatly lessens stress about getting to ship on day of embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Celebrity would book you on anything that they feel would be 'too late'. I think you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all you have to get through immigration / baggage collection at Heathrow and that could be 2 hours. We've even sat on the tarmac still onboard the plane at Heathrow for well over an hour waiting for a jetty to become available. Also Harwich is the other side of London and will involve a journey along roads (M25 and A12) which will be really busy and are regularly subject to delays. I would be far too stressed to risk that and would never fly in on embarkation day as late as 11:05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
