I've never seen them offer airfare in North America. I understand that they might offer it on some of their European websites but have not looked for it. You'd be better off looking for fares on Google Flights to see what's out there.

Melbourne now has daily flights to the UK on one or more jumbo jets and they depart late afternoon or early evening. So the airport ain't as quiet as it used to be. While you would not be flying on their airline (TUI Airways), you do have to share TSA security with them. If you have TSA Precheck, no problem since none of the Brits will.

If they can carry their bags off the ship during the early self-disembarkation, and if they have transportation to MCO awaiting them, they can get to the airport in about 35 minutes. They should have all their boarding passes printed out. If you're checking luggage to your airline, that starts to eat-up time. But the biggest problem are the security lines. Assuming everyone does not have TSA-Precheck, the biggest time risk is getting through security. Some lines lately have had 2 hour waits to get through.

Thanks for the review. Isn't there also a 110 outlet and did it work?

In the past couple months I have been to Nassau, Coco Cay twice and Ocean Cay and there is NO health visa required for the Bahamas if you're arriving via cruise ship. I can't speak for those opting to stay in a hotel which is one of the options Margaritaville at Sea offers. Also, the rules are different if you're flying to the Bahamas. But for a typical day visit such as on a cruise, no visa and no restrictions except those imposed by the cruise line itself.

If you're willing to travel as far away as Disney, check out Disney Springs. (Airport North exit onto SR 528 Westbound to I-4 Westbound.) An amazing number of restaurant choices, many by celebrity chefs. Reservations at your choice would be a wise idea.
