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.

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.

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?

Or is the flight so much cheaper on Saturday?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

That’s, like, your opinion, man.

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?
