I apologize if it sounds choppy. I wrote it while at work.

Here's a little background on this cruise. My mother and I were lucky enough to win a contest through AAA for a special 1 night pre-inaugural sailing of the Liberty of the Seas. This sailing was mostly composed of AAA Travel Agents and other people from their corporate offices (at least that's what we noticed). What we won included everything except for airfare and onboard gift shop purchases. That meant that alcohol as well as Ben & Jerry's were all complimentary. We also received complimentary transfers both to and from the cruise ship from the airport.

We flew in the day of the cruise. I wouldn't recommend doing this for a one-night cruise, but my mother wouldn't budge on the idea of flying in any sooner. When we arrived at the airport, our terminal was terminal A. According our literature, it stated that the transfers would be running every hour on the hour from that terminal. Unfortunately, we got there at about 10 past the hour. Thankfully, they added another shuttle for our group and we were out of the airport in less than 40 minutes. Read more
