Either way your are pushing your luck, I hope those are arrival times. The earlier the flight the better if you are talking about flying the same day as the cruise. How long of a flight are you talking ? You can never account for problems with with the flight, baggage, trip from airport to port.

nitro2448 Posted August 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2013 BTW, if I was you I would buy the trip insurance. I know someone who did what you are doing and they missed the ship, they flew to the next port and caught the ship there, carnival reimbursed them.

nitro2448 Posted August 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2013 From FLL to SJU 2 hours and 33 minutes. Does your cruise leave at 4 like most of them do ? If so definitely the 6am With the 1pm you won't even get to the airport till 330, unless there's a time change, not much time to retrieve your bags and catch a cab to the port.

Some people do fly the same day, but the early flight for sure. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winddawn Posted August 11, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I book the Valor for Sept 15Now I need to buy flights it is better to take a 6:00 A.M flight Jet blue or Spirit 1:00 P.M The day of the cruise I can't flight the day before. I always book the first flight of the day. That way if there are problems, like the flight being cancelled, chances are better that you can get the next flight, and you have extra time to work with. Even if there aren't problems in your area, bad weather anywhere in the country can delay your flight. The earlier flight serves as a buffer. You can always find something to do at San Juan if you arrive early. If you are not into independent exploring, you can always book an excursion through Carnival for that day. Hope you have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
