How tricky will this be if I carry off my own luggage?

Only other nonstop is At 7:00 pm. Later flight at 1:30 pm has 2+hour in connecting airport. Thanks

Since Carry Off's are one of the first groups to leave the ship, this should be no problem. Plan on a Taxi to the airport (< $20.00).

The last few times I've debarked in Ft. Lauderdale, Customs & Immigration has been the hang up.

Should be no problem as long as your ship is not returning from a transatlantic cruise.

We do it all the time and have never had a problem. Go for it.

What ship are you arriving on and what is the date?

Do the "self-disembark" option and you will be fine (unless your ship gets in late). First off means quicker customs and taxis.

If you're arriving at Port of Miami, that is probably cutting it a bit too close.

 

Out of Fort Lauderdale you're probably ok.

This is in Ft Lauderdale (Port Everglades) off a 5 nt RC Indy cruise

No problem then. You probably don't even have to carry off your bags. Just get a luggage tag number (see Guest Services) that gets you off the ship around 8:30am.

With that time of flight, we don't self carry. We just make sure we are in the group departing the ship around 8. Gives us lots of time for unforeseen delays. We are always at the airport before 9, usually 8:50. It is only a ten min. cab ride away.

 

 

If you are the kind that worries a lot, then sure you can self carry at 7:00. But you will be sitting at the airport for literally hours.

 

For sure book the flight. Not tricky at all.
