It doesn't look like as another to LR until Monday as of now. Switching to Delta is over $1,000. No luggage charge because they flew off with are bags! So sorry to hear this. Are you switching to Delta, then, to get home today? Horrible way to end your week. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you have good travel insurance that can pay for added cost? I am worried that this might happen to us flying to San Juan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonlacey Posted October 9, 2021 #480 Share Posted October 9, 2021 So sorry but why not book for tomorrow and stay at the nearby Hotel? This way you have time to breath and rest for trip home tomorrow. Nice cruise, sucks traveling lately but we do love our travels. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannes Posted October 9, 2021 #481 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Thanks so much for this review! We are on Symphony on Nov. 13 and first vacation in two years so this only made us more excited to go! May I ask how you booked your dining and show reservations? Did you use the app, go to a restaurant when you boarded or use a concierge? Thanks for advice on that!

It’s a marvelous photo. If you hadn’t mentioned that it was a selfie, I wouldn’t have realized you were one of the clouds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering driving. Wow, just looked at the flight aware site, and it looks like SW canceled 860 flights. That will take some time to sort all those out. If the flight was canceled, did they get your bags back to you? Not the way you want to end your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to us this summer with a SW flight to California. Had a Friday flight, and couldn’t get a new one till the following Monday. It wasn’t bad since we were at home, and just flying to get our grandson. I hope they get their problems worked out before we fly for our cruise in a couple weeks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is so, why offer so many when you can't handle them. I now they have to offer them in advance but wow. Seems like offer some and when they are filling up offer more. When flying to vacation my TA books early flights that also offer later fights in the day in case something happens. We booked to arrive a day before cruising. It will be less stressful to book two days early. The is much to see and do in Miami. Huh, the reports I am seeing are about air traffic control issues up in N Florida (35 min from where I grew up! It’s so crazy that issues at somewhere in the middle of the pine forest almost to Georgia can ruin things everywhere) and weather there too...and then the weather they had up there, making cancellations on Friday snowballing into Saturday......can’t prepare for problems in a whole other organization that they don’t know about.....but I bet that the ATC problems caused supposed workers who commute on planes to their next work location to not be there..... hope everything works out soon!

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 10, 2021 Author #492 Share Posted October 10, 2021 So hours later things are settling down. It's been stressful. After finding out the flight was canceled we were told our bags were sent away. Awhile later they said they were on the conveyer belt. Then the app said we were booked for a 5:50 am flight. While waiting and knowing we will need a room we decided to book the Hampton again. When we got to the SW desk the guy said they would provide a room for two nights but he said there was so many cancelations they were struggling finding rooms so we may need to wait. When I told him we have booked he told me how happy he was that we were proactive because they were struggling to find rooms. He took a Pic of what we were booked and sent it to the manager. When the manager saw our $550 bill she decided to be generous and gave us $200 flight credit. What a joke. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 10, 2021 Author #493 Share Posted October 10, 2021 This is a pic of those canceled and waiting in line for SW to fix things. This is after trying almost an hour at the gate. The line goes down the middle then turns to the left. More showed up after the pic. This line was hours long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 10, 2021 Author #494 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Folks, even though it's been a tough day I am so thankful for this trip. I know there are others that have had harder times. I met one guy that had his 6am flight canceled and it was replaced with the flight we were on. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted October 10, 2021 #496 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thankful to hear you got your luggage and hotel room. What a mess for so many people. Hope you get a nice room to unwind from a stressful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 10, 2021 Author #497 Share Posted October 10, 2021 We were feeling better once we made it to the hotel. While checking in the clerk mentioned that we were going to stay in a newly renovated room. That sounds nice until she mentioned it may get noisy between 9am to 6pm while they are renovating around us... 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what a rotten way to end your cruise. I am very happy that you have a hotel booked, have your luggage, and can at least make the best of it. Please continue on with your extended stay. We are all interested in what to do should the situation arise for any of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
