Anyone purchased air through carnival?

On our last two cruises I have booked air with Carnival. I searched and searched for cheaper airfare and Carnival was cheaper by several hundred dollars.

We are first time cruisers leaving in September and booked the Carnival air at the advice of our TA. I spent much time worrying about the flights after doing my research here and hearing the horror stories. Got docs Monday and flights are the same I would have picked myself - we are flying out of our local "regional" airport with one stop (there are no nonstop Florida flights from here) and are scheduled to arrive in Tampa at 11:15am morning of cruise. I might book on my own next time just to go in a day early as my fear is missing the ship should there be flight problems but Carnival air this time was $300 cheaper and we got good flights. TA took care of assigning our seats together before we even picked up docs.
