Is this a terrible and torturous idea?

[Anonymous]

Taking a cruise and plan to arrive the day before, a Sunday. But, if we (40-somethings and our teens) arrive the night before that, a Saturday, around 11pm, we would save $500 (even including the extra night at the hotel.) We’d likely arrive at the hotel around midnight. It is a Saturday, however, so we’d all be well rested. Thoughts?

The terrible and torturous idea is the cruise itself.

I don’t understand what would be terrible or tortuous about it.

That’s, like, your opinion, man.

Such a long day. I just imagine being exhausted and regretful.

Wouldn’t everyone enjoy sleeping in and lounging around a pool for a few hours?

It’s stupid to arrive the day of a cruise, what if your plane is delayed?

Then sleep late on Sunday. Is the cruise so exhausting that one late night will be a problem?

It’s one semi-late night, you can sleep in the following morning (and sleep in the morning if the travel day.)

I think you’re overthinking this.

I’d do it for $500. It might be boring but so what? Bring a book and lay by the pool.

I’m not understanding the issue. It’s important to arrive to the port city at least a day before.

But I agree, the torture is the cruise itself

It’s cheaper to spend more nights in the hotel on some kind of deal? Is that what you are saying? If so, just do it. Why not? You can rest on Sunday.

[Anonymous]

Or is the flight so much cheaper on Saturday?

[Anonymous]

Arriving at midnight at 40yrs old + teens is exhausting?
Followed by the next few days of an (all inclusive) cruise, laid back leisurely cruise?

What am I missing?

She’s asking about arriving two nights early. As in late Saturday night for a cruise leaving Monday. Either way she is arrive at least the day before.

Your cruise leaves on a Monday?
You were going to arrive on Sunday but it is $500 cheaper to arrive Saturday night?

Is that right.

I would do it. You have all day Sunday to laze around. And then you are going on a cruise where you laze around for a week.
