One bad experience taught me to never try to get to my departure city on the day my cruise leaves. I now always plan to arrive near the port city at least one day before my cruise's departure. I've experienced many flight delays, and this rule has saved me from missing at least two sailings.
About 25 years ago, my family and I were flying to where our cruise would depart. Our flight was delayed, and by the time we landed in our , we were in a panic. We rushed off the plane and headed to the baggage carousel, but one of our checked bags was taking too long (or maybe it never made it onto the plane). We didn't have time to wait for it if we wanted to make it onto our cruise. So, we left. Our taxi driver drove as fast as he could and my family made it onto the ship just in time. The suitcase containing every single pair of shoes we packed didn't.
