Liberty Of Seas Disembarkation Times In Miami

[bennob66]

Hi. We are looking to arrive in Miami on the 2nd May on the Liberty Of The Seas and the ship docks at 6am. I am wondering how long it would be to disembark . what time would RCCL start letting passengers off and what do people think would be the earliest I should set a flight to return to LAX? I am flying from Fort Lauderdale (Not Miami) and so there would be a transfer time as well. I was thinking maybe 10.30 am? or earlier?

I would go for something later than 10:30 -- like at least noon. Getting to Ft. Lauderdale will take at least 40 minutes of driving time, plus the check-in and security at the airport.

 

If the ship is scheduled to dock at 6am, it will be at least 7 or 8 before anyone can get off the ship. And that is only if everything goes smoothly and on schedule.

 

You will probably hear from others who say it is possible, but I wouldn't risk it.

Yikes....given all the increased security at the airport, I wouldn't book until early afternoon. Why be all stressed out in the morning?

We disembark from the Jewel on 2/22 and our flight leaves MIA at 1:30. I would not book out of FLL until sometime in the afternoon either.

You take a huge risk booking a flight that early especially because of where your home is.
