Well, I thought the same thing until years ago, I was stuck at an airport in Jan for 6 hrs. So.....not chancing it this time - and am flying in ahead of time. Already have hotel AND airfare booked. We won't unpack for sure - we just sleep in t shirt - or put pj on top. No biggie. Gonna hit Orlando for the day and go to a few things (ripleys, wonderworld and dinner). Then head over to the ship the next a.m. But, remember this is in Jan (snow in other areas). Flying in Oct you should be ok. I"m just a chicken
