Our week cruise on Majesty of the Seas started out in Chicago aboard United Airlines. Our flight to Miami was un-eventful, however, getting our boarding passes printed was an experience. Our flight numbers had been changed some months ago and the email we received from United stated that we "did not need to contact them regarding this change."
