yes.. you are overthinking this lol

One thing that you most certainly are doing right..is going in a day early!
We always go in early.

when we lived up north, it was a no brainer that we went to a port at least a day in advance. Then we moved to Florida.. about a 3 hour drive to Fort Lauderdale. So we figured that as we could drive down the day of.. that was a great idea for this port.

Then..... we were coming home from a cruise, and had a driver picking us up at the port and driving us home. Well.. a deer decided to commit suiside and jumped out in front of the van... We spent 9.......NINE!!! hours on the road.

Now if that had happened on our drive DOWN to catch that cruise, we would have missed the ship.

So.. now we go at least a day early even to Fort Lauderdale!
The only way that I will go to any port the day of.. is if I know that I am staying close enough to push my suitcase over to the port!
