almost missed 1 at ist...aa saved us by a reroute that got us there at the last minute [almost]....bags showed 3 days later by taxi from athens....2 other couples caught up w/ the ship 2 days late...

it was a small [80pax or so ship] on the voyage of oddysus w/ lots of small port stops...so i was reminded to always put in an extra day for cruises from across the ponds cruises...

missing the boat in the carribean shouldn't be much of a problem unless the 1st stop is 1 of those useless private islands....but you should be able to catch up fairly quickly.....
