missing the boat

[jacketwatch]

We have never missed or even been close to being late for that matter. I do recall a bus driver in Ketichan telling us about some passengers not on a ships tour were dragging their feet shopping and he told them they had better hurry to catch the ship. Well they ignored the advice and guess what? They missed the ship. I agree with Joey. Be punctual and allow for the unexpected delays.

No, we always get back in enough time.

We have never been late and if we are on our own always get back an hour early.

On our last cruise a friend of ours missed the ship in St. Maarten. We had heard his name announced quite a few times (his wife was actually on the ship), he had to pay someone $20 in a harbor boat to bring him to the ship, and of course he had had a few too many drinks, they had to hoist him up the rope ladder to climb onto the ship. The whole group of us (60 people) had a great time with him the rest of the cruise as well as the staff on the ship. Needless to say, he was early getting back at all of the other ports.
