sarakatg Posted February 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Hi all, We're sailing on RCCL in October and I'm looking at flights. There is one that leaves FLL at 11:50, and everything I've read has said that flights after 11am should be good to go. I just want to make sure that is still the case. We're traveling with three kids so things naturally move a bit slower for us. In addition, the other half likes to be at the airport two hours early. Can we make it through customs and to the airport with 3 kids by 9:50am on a Saturday? Thanks!! Edited to add... next flight out is at 3pm. It's not that much later though it is a bit more expensive. What's the latest we could get off the ship if we decided to take our time? Edited February 19, 2015 by sarakatg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Assuming you are docking in Port Everglades, yes, what you have read is correct. 11:50 is doable. Most people take cabs to assure plenty of time. You need to check on the RCI board as to their policy, but most want you off the ship by 9:30.

DaveOKC Posted February 19, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Unless your ship comes in late, you will be fine. Just get off the ship as early as you can. DaveOKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzmund Posted February 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I agree. We have traveled with family and were at the airport by 10:00, no mean feat when some of our group take "baby steps". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Your flight is even eligible for the RCI luggage valet program....if the carrier you're using participates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannavacay Posted February 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The luggage valet program can cut the stress if you're running late or the lines or long. Found this to be 100% worth it, especially out of FLL. When we left FLL, there were several large ships in port, with everyone disembarking during roughly the same time of day. Our terminal was PACKED, and there was an ice storm somewhere in the country that caused a bunch of flights and connections to be cancelled. So everyone that had to check-in at the desk or check luggage had insanely long lines because there were people in front of them that were trying to reschedule on different flights. Since we used the luggage valet, we were able to go straight to the insanely long security line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakatg Posted February 20, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Good to know! I will definitely look into the luggage valet program. That could be a real time saver. I'd love to be on this flight but I don't want to spend the morning panicked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
