Hipshot... I'm sorry you missed your cruise. I missed my flight (and cruise) for my last cruise in April due to a highway construction delay and it was a horrible experience...
(that's a whole other story) So I can totally relate to how you must've felt going back home... But I learned from it and this next cruise I'm leaving a day early...
So, get your passports and get yourself on another cruise asap and put this all behind you like I am doing! 8)
