Can I fly the night before and/or stay longer in the port city after the cruise?
Most cruise lines offer pre or post stay packages that you can purchase at an additional cost. The space is limited for these and it is best to book them early. Should you not be able to book a pre-night stay through the cruise line, you may also reserve a room on your own and customize your flight schedule. There is a non-refundable fee to do this, in addition to any increased airfare cost. Purchasing a pre-stay package benefits you since it will provide you with extra time to make to the pier if you experience inclement weather.
