I wanted to add one more thing about how we ended up staying for free in Charlotte on Saturday night and staying two nights in St. Maarten for free. Along with having Royal Caribbean do our airlines for us, we also had the trip insurance. We talked to several people in the Charlotte airport this morning who were "in the same boat" as us, but didn't get as good a deal. They had done their own airline reservations and didn't have trip insurance. Without a doubt, it paid for itself several times over this time. Like any insurance, you may wonder why you have to pay for something you don't use...until you use it.
We are staying at the Simpson Bay Resort and Marina, which is between the airport and cruise dock on St. Maarten. It was raining when we arrived this afternoon so I won't have pictures until tomorrow. Anyway, if you ever need to stay near Phillipsburg, this would be an excellent choice. Google it to get a true feel of how nice it is. Our suite has a living room, full kitchen, and bedroom.
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and 80, so look for pictures from St. Maarten. We get on the ship on Tuesday and I will begin the REAL blog of the trip.
