JP - the day passes are included with the slip fee. For our Lagoon 50, it was $200...so cheaper than getting day passes and a mooring ball, for most crew sizes. Great value IMO and I'd stay at Peter again. Worth doing at least once if you haven't seen it yet.
Yikes re: STT. Worst airport in the country imo. Actually now that you brought it up, this was another first, using the EIS - Miami route. Worked fine on our way down. But then yesterday (not busy at all btw) when leaving, I neglected to check in until we were on the way to the airport, about 1.5 hours before the flight...you know how it is trying to get the boat back, fueled, and disembarked. Just completely forgot. Well I guess that put us at the bottom of the barrel for denied boarding. Of course there were south winds so the plane was weight restricted...We were onboard, they asked for 4x volunteers. Two people took the $1k vouchers. Then they came over to my family of 4 and said two of us had to get off. So my son and I had to get on later flight, but it was delayed, missed connection, overnight in crappy Miami airport hotel, and now we are currently on the flight back to Denver as I write this...Idk if anyone on here has experienced the same. But they handed me vouchers for voluntarily getting off the flight, which I refused. IDK if I'm fighting a losing battle but I've submitted complaints to both AA and the DOT. Gate agent refused to change it and AA customer service hung up on me twice.
The later flight we did take had 13 folks denied boarding. Departed 1.5 hours late because the captain still running the numbers or something...
Miami airport was a mess this morning for general security line. The Pre-check was open and only took us 15 minutes to get through.
