Instead of flying tomorrow (oops, today--12:09 a.m. just now!) to Houston then Ft. Lauderdale, we're flying to H and staying the night and booked to fly to Ft. Lauderdale Sunday, arriving (we hope) in the evening then stay in a hotel & board the Paradise Monday. Good luck to us both, Crewzer!

The travel club we made our arrangements through gave us a follow-up phone call this evening. As I figured, they say that Carnival HAS to get the Paradise to her "appointment" on time to get through the Panal Canal and to the West Coast. I'm not sure what that means for how much leeway the Paradise has to stick around the Port of Miami Monday evening. As you know from carnival.com, the Aruba port of call was cancelled. Of course, the Paradise already has bookings for Baja Mexico starting the end of September.

SUCCESS!!!

Mike and I flew to Houston Saturday, stayed two nights there and flew to Ft. Lauderdale on Monday, boarding the Paradise Sunday. You can probably imagine the relief and triumph we felt! The Paradise left port at 10:30 p.m. from Miami.

Since then we've had three wonderful dinners and two lunches of dining in the Elation Dining Room. Of course, we have amazing service because the ship is only partially full. :grin:

Crewzer, did you make it on?

Regards to all. See you on the flip side of the Canal in a few days (Sep 20).

P.S. Five days on board, one port dropped, four ports to go with more days at sea!
