We are booked on the Eurodam out of Fort Lauderdale leaving Saturday, December 26. We need to fly from Boston and were amazed at the cost of flights already. We wanted to leave on Friday (weather worries). Is it better to book through HAL, should we wait and see, or grit our teeth and book now because they'll only get more expensive? Thanks for sharing your expertise.

If you are flying in the day before, I would say book your own, especially if you want non-stop. If your flight can't get out, it's likely theirs won't either, and you will have presumably 24 hours (or more) to play with. But, the risks are obvious.
