Star Princess -10/30 cruise

[gardening gal]

Having read the port in Ft. Lauderdale was damaged after Wilma danced through, I called to see if our cruise would be affected. C/S rep at the 800 number said no as of today, the Star would be going out of Miami instead. She said everyone would get notified to this effect shortly. We are driving from NC to FL (company car - read: free transpotation) so the more notice the better. The C/S rep gave me an 800 number to call - think she referred to this as an enroute C/S phone number. The number she gave was 1/800/545-0008. Thought I would post this in case there are others with the same scenario.

Sue,

GOOD LUCK.
I hope that all works out for you.
Please keep us posted.
I just emailed a friend on the Star to see if he has any news for you.

Only 4 more days for you.
Are you packed???

Take Care

Cathy - not even remotely ready to travel. I finally finished work related stuff yesterday, so I'll be flying through closets & drawers for the next two days - hope we don't look like hobos (hmmmmm. . . is that a politically incorrect term now?) as we meander thru the Western Caribean. Anyway, it's down time we really need right now! Thanks for checking with your friend for us. You've been so very helpful this week. Sue

Hi Sue,
