The Cruise Air Option, if selected, may require the customer to fly out the day before the date of the cruise departure and may require the customer to fly out the day after the date of the cruise arrival back to departure port at the sole discretion of the cruise line excluding one way cruise.

Your transfers from/to the airport are not included by the cruise line and you are responsible for getting to/from the port ie ship.
If you do not select the Cruise Air Option, we strongly encourage you to arrive a day before your scheduled cruise departure date to avoid any problems with cancelled or delayed airline transportation that would cause you to miss your cruise.
