alicos Posted March 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I found a good flight arriving in ft lauderdale at 130pm...is this too late? The ship is set to sail at 5pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCRose Posted March 11, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2005 It is cutting it close, if you have a 3 or 4 hour delay, you may miss the ship. We always fly in the day before to avoid any delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mared1 Posted March 11, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2005 As long as there are no delays in your flight you should be fine. The airport at Ft. Lauderdale is relatively close to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffic Posted March 22, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2005 On my first cruise I arrived in Miami about 1:15 for a 5:00 departure. Every thing went smooth and I was on the ship about 2:15. That being said, I wouldn't do it again, because you really are taking a chance. I hope you're going during a good time of year, because if you're going in the winter, or during hurricane season, you may have a problem...

mslvp7 Posted April 3, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2005 As a TA I ask my passengers to try to fly in the day, or night, before a cruise. Then, sleep in, do a bit of sight seeing or shopping, have lunch & go onboard around 3:30 -4 pm for a 5pm sail away. (That time frame seems to be a "walk right in" time with the earlier & later crowds not there. Have a great time. greatcruisinghome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madelinerose Posted April 8, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Why chance a possible pre-cruise stressful situation? Simplify your life and arrive the day before your cruise. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPNYC Posted April 9, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I agree with all the above, that is just cutting it too close and relying upon the travel gods to make everything just perfect. I'd fly in early that morning or the night prior. when I sailed out of Port Everglades, we came in the day before and rode around the water taxi for most of the day & started the next day with some beach time before heading to the port - it was definately a great way to destress before getting on board the ship.
