Looking for recent cruisers who have recently disembarked from Miami.... what time were you off ship?

I was on the Conquest in September and did self assist. The ship docked a bit before 7, I left the ship about 7:30, and by 7:45 I was looking for a taxi.

We've always been off the ship around 8ish and we always carry our own luggage off.

Thank you! I have arranged for shuttle to pick us up at 8:00, but think I will push back to 8:30 to be safe :)

who are you using?

 

I need a shuttle to take me to FLL

 

People who I call tell me I can be picked up at 8am with no problems

 

I am more comfortable with an 8:30 time

 

Please keep me posted on how you are making out with this

Is it shared or private?

Because of our early flight, I booked private. Karina at QLS mentioned they have shared shuttles waiting at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.

 

My concern with a shared shuttle is what happens if the 8am shuttle doesn't have enough people... do they just wait for more people before departing???!!?? I've read similar issues going from airport to cruise port and I didn't want to take any chances.

Exactly my concerns also. according to the websites-- because of the price of gas a vehicle will wait until its full before heading out. We did that on a trip to punta cana and the stress because we actually waited for an hour waiting for people I almost missed my flight Heading to look at QLS.

I will be writing a full review later, but wanted to let everyone know that we just self-disembarked off the Victory on Thursday. Self-Disembarkation began at 8:15 for Platinum & FTTF. We were off ship, through customs and at the curb by 8:30 a.m. where QLS Transportation was waiting. We arrived Fort Lauderdale Airport in less than 30 minutes and were through TSA by 9:30 a.m. We will definitely do this again!

 

NOTE: Traffic going the other direction was horrendous! We would never do this if going from Port of Fort Lauderdale to MIA.
