Ship leaves 11pm on the 9th, and returns 6 AM on the 16th. I've been advised to allow at least 4 hours time between ship & airport, just to be sure. Got the cruise deal for $1,223 for 2, including all port fees & taxes. Considered just making it a package deal on the Princess website, but they wanted $800 per person. Anyway, now that we have the cruise part taken care of, I'm looking for a deal on the airfare. The best I've found is $417 including all taxes/fees using Delta. This is the best I've found using Orbitz, CheapTickets.com and sidestep.com. There are a couple of flights showing as less expensive, but they have something like an 11+ hour wait between flights. In other words, save $10 and essentially get a hotel = not a great deal. So $417 seems to be the best I can find. Considering that I'm used to paying about $180 to fly from Ohio to the Southwest (about the same distance), I figured I'd be able to get this for $300 or less. That isn't turning out to be the case at all. It is looking more and more like our airfare will add considerably more than 50% on to the price of our cruise.
