satxdiver Posted August 26, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2010 We were off the Ruby and in the cab by 8:30 in February. We carried our own wheeled luggage off the ship. It is doable. I recommend if at all possible, taking your own luggage off as it is much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted August 26, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Our flight was that early in March and we made it in plenty of time, walking off with our luggage as Satxdriver recommends. Back in November, Customs took a long time clearing our ship. People did not start getting off until around 9. The crowds were terrible, but we relaxed in the Platinum lounge since our flight wasn't until mid afternoon. Our tablemates emailed us later about how bad the situation was of people complaining about not being able to get off the ship--but the cruise line can't control Customs. We previously had another really bad experience when there was a record number of ships in port. That day there were not enough cabs, and we had to wait over an hour to get one. But the point is even after experiencing a couple of times when we would have been anxious about making a flight that early, we still have had plenty of times when it worked out--and we still would book another.

Colo Cruiser Posted August 26, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Would you gamble on a flight out of Fort LAuderdale at 1051? No a gamble at all just get off in an early group. I did a 9:30 flight last month and was at the gate by 7:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
