...is now leaving Bealls on 441 at 5am for Fort Lauderdale

not its usual 06.30 departure

Don't know if it's due to a lack of drivers or a broken down bus

A disaster waiting to happen.

My prediction: a large % don't get the message so aren't there at 5am. The dispatcherer is reluctant to leave them behind, knowing there would be multiple claims for breach of contract, so delays departure until much close to the regular departure time, meaning pick-up in Fort Lauderdale is at least two hours later than usual, resulting in more claims against the company.

All round, a depressing start/end to everybody's cruise.
