Bigfoot Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Ok, now that's some serious bogus-ness. Shouldn't SWA being compensating, refunding you or something??? That's total crap!!! They screwed up my reservation in Reno this year. Wasn't nearlly as big a deal as yours since I didn't miss any kind of connection and got a room upgrade instead. To me this is totally their fault and should take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Looks like we're stuck with Seattle. We'll still try to get some pictures of our new adventure for you guys. Tim, the flight wasnt non-stop. There was a 20 minute stop schedualed in SJ. It just turned into a SNAFU pretty quickly. There were about 30 other people that missed sailings yesterday too. Since I booked the air travel myself and didnt buy the insurance for anything we're just going to have to eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is totally their fault and should take care of it. not to be a downer, but good luck. I seriously doubt it. In with dealing with cruses there are 2 rules of thumb. 1: arrive at the departure point 24 hours in advance. 2: serously consider the insurance. IF something happens at the departure point OR the boat leaves you while at a port of call the insurance will cover (reimburse) your transport to the next port of call.

To me this is totally their fault and should take care of it. Why is poor planning SWA's fault? Any experienced cruiser will tell you to arrive 24 hrs ahead of departure not 3 hrs. Anyone that travels via air knows anything can happen. Besides I'll bet somewhere SWA has a disclaimer in their booking. If it helps Dawg I have about 150 pics we took on that cruise about 2 yrs ago. I could forward them to you. You're the Photochop guru. You could just chop the two of you in and pretend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P51tj Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Truly sorry for yins aggravation and truly sorry it had to be SWA, can happen to any air carrier! 24 hours prior or a non stop flight for future reference. Sometimes taking a connecting flight will bite ya. Next time I see yins I have a little more info for ya, nothing to help out just to a little more info on what all happened with that flight.

Buccaneer Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 OH DOES THAT SUCK! Why didn't you leave the day before though? Never trust air travel to get you there when you want it to. Jus sayin'. Hope it works out for you two. f it helps Dawg I have about 150 pics we took on that cruise about 2 yrs ago. I could forward them to you. You're the Photochop guru.

Desertdawg Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Second cruise but the first time to fly to one, everyone I asked said 3 hours to get from the airport to the dock was plenty of time. No one could have predicted the plAne breaking down. Like I said before, I'm not a fan of insurance or warranties. So you can say we gambled and lost. SWA compensated us enough to cover out plane tickets and we'll get our fees and taxes back, plus the cost of the excursions we paid for so it's not a total loss but we're still out over 2 grand. Oh well, I guess there's always next year since it's Alaska is still on out bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
