We were also fogged out but did not even get under the Sunshine Skyway until after 2:00 p.m. Then about 4 hours to the port. We were on the Serenade and the Brilliance was right behind us. I felt sorry for those who were to board. It was a mess all the way around. We will be heading to Tampa this Friday, so that if the ship is fogged out again, I have a place to stay. Also, a word for those who will be boarding on the 11th - do not even plan on getting to the port until 11:00 - the "0" count. Then they open it to Suites and Pinnacles - it did not matter your check in time. It went fast once we got into the port area itself. But it was not fun having to schlep my own luggage into the port. When we board this Saturday, I am not even heading to the port until 11:00. Not worth the hassles.

Welcome aboard. Were you on in Feb with your daughter? We sailed in Feb. and were delayed getting in due to the Sunshine Skyway being closed due to fog. It was a mess getting off the ship, but in my opinion that was due to the passengers all trying to get off at the same time. Even those without luggage. Hoping for no fog this weekend when we head to Tampa to board. Looking forward to chatting with you.

The new port area will be getting close to being completed in Feb. I think it is scheduled to open sometime in May. We have been watching the progress since we flew to Nassau in July of 21 when cruising was in the early stages of re-starting. At that time, they were redoing the outer pier with new concrete. It has been fun seeing how the port has progressed during this time. Looking forward to checking it out again when we are there.

Matt - will there be some representatives of MEI Travel on board as well? I do currently have a TA but he may want to retire at some point and I am checking out other TA's to see if we are a fit. I have met one or two gentlemen who work with MEI but they told me at that time they did not really deal with Royal Caribbean. so would be interested in meeting some of the people who do work with Royal.
