NCL Breakaway early October ( Boston/Portland ME/Bar Harbor/Eastport/Halifax/Boston). I made a hasty decision, purchased non-refundable Jet Blue flights ( 2 people) departing San Diego 8 PM, arriving 5 am ish the morning of ship departure. Friends inform me that is really stupid, better to arrive in port at least a full day early to avoid flight delay/cancellation that could cause us to miss the departure. Oops. Jet Blue already canceled original flight, put us on a 9:30 pm departure arriving 7-8 AM ( which is fine). I don’t want to eat the flight cost and start over, I think we will risk it most likely. Trying to foresee/ plan a few “Plan B” strategies. If our flight gets canceled…. Does not look like there is a morning flight that would land us in time ( does anyone know the actual drop-dead cutoff time for check-in?). Alternatively … there are flights direct to Portland ME. Do cruise lines allow passengers to check in and board at the second port , if they miss the departure ? Is my approach here pretty lame/unusual, or is it typical for some passengers to arrive by air the day of cruise departure……
