My flight gets in at 11:00a.m. and the transfer to boat picks me up at airport is that enough time to get to ship before it takes off?
A lot of people on the forums suggest flying in the day before if possible, due to airline issues. For example, last year, there was a snow storm that cancelled my flight out the day before, so I could have driven to PC if I had to, but fortunately, I was able to get an earlier flight.I guess I could< do you think I should?
Yup - absolutely. My dad missed his last cruise because his flight was a few hours late. Two weeks ago, my friend's BIL was scheduled to go out of one airport, got there, was told his flight was going to be delayed by several hours but they had space on another flight (same airline) at a different airport and he had to haul you-know-what and managed to just make it on time. My friend still got to the ship before his BIL did even though his flight left later. So they both made it in time but I'd be very uncomfortable myself.I guess I could< do you think I should?
This! So often people complain about weather delays even though "the weather is fine where they are." Well, air travel is a delicate balancing act; weather in one area, especially in a hub, can have great ripple effects. And yes, summer thunderstorms can wreak havoc!Weather, obviously is the big one. Not just at your airport, but at the originating airport. Thunderstorms in the summer cause delays just as much as snow in the winter!

I just had a flashback to half of my husband's family nearly missing our wedding! They were flying in the day before, planning to arrive in time for the rehearsal dinner.
Instead 3 or 4 couples (flying different airlines/airports) all missed the rehearsal dinner and were driving a good way into the night to get to us. One ended up flying into an airport two hours further away so that they were able to make it.
