scheduling flight time for after the cruise

[tostadas]

Planning on cruising Legend next month, and I need to book return tickets for the airline. Around what time would be good for a flight on the debark day?

 

we will have only carry-ons, and no rental car, so i'm not sure how much time I want to spend in the area towing around my luggage.

I feel safe booking around noon

Ditto above poster. Nothing before noon! Have fun! Legend is a beautiful ship!!!!:cool:

Yep... noon or later, later being better. It's always a good idea to have a cushion there in the event that there's a delay getting into port; getting debarkation started; with customs, etc.

Pretty much anything can cause you to be late for your flight... later = better...

how long does debarkation typically take? i dont want to feel rushed. the flight I see is for 1:30pm departure out of Tampa airport.

I think that's a really good time. We cruised Legend back in October. We were zone 13 and still got off the boat by 10am.

This time should be fine......I would book this one in a heartbeat....

My return flight last year after our cruise was 1:30 PM. It was a good time that allowed us to get lunch & didn't feel rushed getting to the gate at the airport. I'd book that flight! :)

Carnival suggests no flights earlier than 11:30 am for Tampa. That is really pushing it too. We were zone 16 off the Legend and got to the airport at 10:50. An earlier zone # would have probably made a difference but why rush. We had a choice of 11:15 am flt or 2:15. We selected the 2:15 and had a nice leisurely lunch before heading over to airside and through security. There are some nice sit down restaurants on both the ticketing side and airside.
