Flight time for Luggage Valet from Port Everglades to MIA

[chfenton]

I have found several threads that indicate flight has to be 11:30 or after for FLL departures, but I seem to recall reading on board you can also utilize service from Port Everglades for flights out of MIA but I think I recall they had to be later (due to further distance to get the luggage there). Does anyone have the definitive answer - I seem to recall about 2pm or so but looking for actual knowledge. Thanks

It is later but I think for Oasis last week it was 1:00 or 1:30.

According to the Luggage Valet form I received from my cruise on Independence of the Seas a bit over a week ago:

Flights must depart between 11:30 am and 11:59 pm (from Fort Lauderdale) or between 2:00 pm and 11:59 pm (from Miami) on the day of the ship's arrival into Fort Lauderdale. Note: Service with Southwest Airlines is only available for flights departing from Fort Lauderdale between 11:30 am to 6:00 pm.

We got the same info on Independence back in January but found the Southwest 6:00pm cut off is a soft deadline. We took a shot and booked it for a 6:20pm flight and had no problem.
