Hawaii

Well as many may have heard a few airlines went bankrupt the day before our cruise. While on our cruise AA cancelled many flights also. We were blessed by the fact that we had United airway plane tickets.
The flight went well,Jacob was so good even our fellow plane passengers were so surprised how good he was. When we got to Honolulu we rushed off to the cruise ship and there the weird stuff started happening. At the first security gate we showed them our papers. Jacob was put in as a lap child, which was weird because they usually put the name of the child but they let us through. The second security check point noticed this too but let us on by. Then we get to the cruise check-in and the nice lady let's us know Jacob isn't registered on the cruise. Let's just say this was major. They told us we can't let you on the boat. They had to check our Id with his birth certificate. We called our travel agent. It was a mess. This was on a SATURDAY so nothing could be resolved until MONDAY. So to be able to get on the boat we had to sign a paper saying we would pay whatever fee NCL had for him. We were scared but MONDAY we found out because it wasn't our fault we didn't end up having to pay for it....thank goodness. For a baby 6 months to 2 years old it cost $250 dollars.
The rest of our trip was wonderful. The only difficult thing was dealing with the time change and Jacob's schedule. Poor baby is still trying to recover.
