My family and I go on 7 day cruises once a year for our vacation. We like to get out there by plane a day early before getting on the cruise. So I know Prime gives you 1 week of vacation time after 120,000 miles driven or 1 year with them. So will I be able to combine 1 day of hometime with my 7 days of vacation time?

There's some confusion going on in here.

The minimum time on the road before you're allowed to go home is three weeks.

1 day off per week.

You can be home for a maximum of 5 days. Anymore than that requires your DM's approval.

You can bank days. For example, if I do 5 weeks on the road I can go home for 4 days and bank a day. Next time I'll do 3 weeks on the road but I'll use my banked day and be home for 4 days.

Prime isn't the best carrier for Hometime. That's not their strength. This is something you sort of have to accept if you're going to come to Prime.
