NEVER NEVER NEVER make airline reservations to arrive at a port city the day of the cruise. Always arrive a day early. There are always flight delays during the winter and many times during the summer. It is much safer to allow yourself a day in order to make sure you make the cruise. If this was a "Fly/Cruise" package arranged by the cruise line then you might get your money back for the cruise or another cruise in the future but if you made your own reservations then you may be just a no show as far as the cruise line is concerned. I hope you at least got your cruise money back!

I can see it now. Plane crashes because the pilot didn't de-ice, because they were in too much of a hurry to catch they connecting flight for their cruise. How many people died in the accident? The last time I went on a cruise, I arrived in the port city a day in advance, just to give myself enough time to allow for any circumstances that might arrise. Not hours. You said you left at 9:40 instead of 8:45. You gave yourself a 55 minute window. Good luck contacting everybody. It was weather related and everyone was in the same boat. I do like the comment about the ice scraper, how much flight time do you have?
