Ellie,

Thanks for the info. While it is always a good idea to arrive a day early - even if it is just a quick flight from Atlanta to Miami - it is astounding to read of somebody flying from one continent to another on the same day the cruise departs and thinking it is a good idea.

And so they miss out on perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime journey and although the airline hosed them, in the end they can chalk it up to their own lack of forethought.
