LOL JOEY!!! That's for sure. I've been reading about the various tours in all our stopovers. I've picked out some that look very interesting.

O MY GOODNESS!!!!!!
I just bought our air transportation Atlanta/Miami/Atlanta.

I've been seriously looking since mid December. Prices for two (roundtrip) has been $611.00, $532.00, $492.00. Today a rate popped up with the exact times that I wanted to fly and the rate for two with taxes and fees was $394.00. I just didn't feel that I could afford to let that price go by so the deal was made and I'm happy with it - LOL!!!!

Now - I'm not going to look any more so if the rest of you guys get "fire-sale" prices, don't tell me - ha, ha, ha. Let me continue being pleased with myself for grabbing this price right now.

Don't think you will beat those prices and at the time you wanted. Congrats!

These flights have us flying out of Atlanta at 1:30 PM on November 7th and arriving in Miami at 3:21 PM which is really perfect as we have to take a two hour shuttle from Columbus to the Atlanta airport. Trying to park at the Atlanta airport is a nightmare and the Columbus/Atlanta shuttle drops you right at the Delta terminal door.

Then we're leaving Miami at 12:20 PM on November 22nd and arriving in Atlanta at 2:18 PM and after riding the shuttle to Columbus, we'll be home around 5:00 PM.

Five years ago, I never would have planned a 12:20 PM departure from a port city because getting off a ship took so long. But our cruises in the past couple years seem too have gotten this getting off the ship in hand. We've been off before 10:00 AM on every cruise for the last couple years. Let's hope this one is not different.

There was another first for us on the Celebrity Infinity Alaska cruise this past September. For what I thought was a nominal amount of money, Celebrity picked up the luggage on that last night and took care of checking it on the plane and you didn't see it again until you got to your home airport. That was WONDERFUL. We didn't have to deal with our luggage at the cruise terminal or upon arrival at the airport. I will do that again any time I have the opportunity. Again - that was WONDERFUL. We just walked off the ship to our airport transportation and never had to worry about dealing with luggage.

Sounds like great arrangements Judson. Getting your flights all arranged means you are one step closer to the cruise.

Judson you should know that is only in-effect if enough passengers take advantage of it..we too ordered this service but on luggage tag day we were informed the service was not available because of lack of interest!

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Surely there will be enough interest when everyone finds out how great and simple it is.

hi guys.. we are in a unique situation.. we both have enough FF miles to fly to MIA first class or we could take two different coach trips...(one to Miamii and then another one at another time..)
