Victory...in October planes leaves at 12:45 p.m.

Will we make it and what time should I tell the Limo driver to meet us at the Pier to take us to FLL airport!

If you're leaving before the recommended time by Carnival, there are no guarantees. It could be tight. Under optimal circumstances (no traffic, able to speed up Hwy. 95), it takes about 40-45 minutes from the port to FLL. That's optimal--there have been a lot of times where I've seen accidents or problems that can slow 95 to a crawl (or completely stop traffic). Plus, remember that Carnival can't control when Customs releases the ship once in port. I've been on ships where they didn't start letting people go until almost 10. Ideally, they'll start letting people go around 8, but you never know.

thanks but now I am worried this was the only nonstop flight....until later in the day by Southwest!

Amy, I do not think you will have any problems.. if you carry your luggage off the ship yourselves.

 

We had a FLL flight at 2pm, but we made it to the airport by 11:30.... and we took our time getting off the ship.

So then tell the Limo Driver to pick us up at 9 a.m. the next flight nonstop isn't until 4 p.m.

 

thanks!
