canuckinindia Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Booked on Silhouette departing Fort Lauderdale at 4:30pm. Intending to do a late lunch in Miami before cruise. Wanted to find out if there is a firm cutoff time for boarding the boat and/or reaching the dock for check-on prior to departure?

Sent from my Lenovo A7000-a using Tapatalk From the Celebrity website FAQs: Please note Xpress Pass guests (checked-in online) whose cruise departs from ports in the United States are required to be at the pier and checked-in no later than 60 minutes prior to the published sailing time or you may not be permitted to board. For a cruise that departs from other ports not in the United States, please review your travel documents carefully for your boarding time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratixman Posted November 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2015 How late you are thinking? I would be very careful. You have to take into account travel time from Miami to FLL cruise port, check-in process, etc. If something backs up traffic then.... who knows. 4:30 departure means on board by no later than 3:30. Don't know where in Miami you want to dine, but figure 40-45 minutes drive time with no traffic issues. Means best be on the road by about 2:00 pm. Hate to read that you were left standing on the dock watching your ship sail out of the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybx Posted November 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I really wouldn't risk arriving right at the cutoff. Too many things can go wrong. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckinindia Posted November 26, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, and stratixman I think your timeline makes sense, will be around bal harbour so think leaving by 2pm should give me plenty of time Sent from my Lenovo A7000-a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
