Is 10:AM departure flight too early out of FLL?

[4totravel]

We will be taking a 7 day cruise on celebrity Solstice, how early can I safely book our departure flight out of FLL?

We are a total of 8 cruisers and want to take a airboat tour of the Everglades in Fort Lauderdale or close by. Does anyone have a good company to recommend?

 

Thanks:)

Ten is a bit too early for a flight. As far as the Everglades tour goes, go the the park website and go with one of the tours they recommend. For what it is worth, the airboats are not allowed inside the Everglades National Park.

Just my opinion, but I would never book anything before 11:30am. You just asking for trouble. Again jmho.

Agreed...you must allow for time for the ship to be cleared & poss. problem (always those people whose names you repeatedly hear being called before ship can be cleared by customs), finding a cab or loading your car, being at airport 1 - 1 1/2 hrs. prior to departure depending on what security issues pop up within the day/weeks of your cruise & if security gets tight.

 

Not sure when your ship is due to arrive but why put yourself in such a stressful situation by cutting it too close.
