Miami Seaquarium Excursion - when does it return to the airport?

[Lauren's_Dad]

Hello - my apologies for anyone re-reading this question, as I posted it initially to the Florida Departures board.

 

We will be on the Imagination in late October. We have a 3:15pm flight on the afternoon we return to Miami. I would like to take my wife and 8-year-old daughter on the post-cruise excursion to the Miami Seaquarium, but it notes on the website that you shouldn't book this cruise if you have a flight before 3:30pm.

 

Has anyone taken this excursion in the past, and if so, when did they have you back at the airport? It lists the time of the excursion as 8am to noon, so even if traffic was horrendous (which I've heard can happen in Miami occasionally), I would think you would be back at the airport by 1:30pm, which should give us plenty of time to make a 3:15pm flight (as we are not checking luggage and will print off our boarding passes on the ship).

 

I'm guessing that Carnival is simply being ultra-conservative with their cutoff time, but am hoping for someone that has taken the tour (or perhaps a similar post-cruise excursion) to confirm this assumption.

 

Thanks,

Jason
