PBI - West Palm Beach just over twice the distance that it is from MIA to FLL

MIA-FLL = 27 miles +/- at Freeway speeds about a half hour

MIA-PBI = 66 miles +/- at Freeway speeds about slightly more than an hour

* Source Rand McNally maps & AAA recommended travel times.

Factor in any weather delays on the day of your port arrival !

 

The percentages are against you for this battle plan !

"CORRECTION TO MY QUOTE"

 

 

Upon Review this should have been stated: The percentages are pretty much

the same except allow about an half hour to an hour more for this battle plan to be

successful.

If you are in line early for self assist, you can easily be in a cab or shuttle by 8:00am. My advice would be to get in line by 6:45am. Again, everyone on the ship will tell you the earliest you can get off is 7:45am, but they started letting us off around 7:15am. We made our 9:25am flight out of MIA with us being in line at 7:00am. Again, I would suggest you get in line by 6:45am to be one of the first off the ship.

What advantages does the Haven guest have when it comes to leaving very early for , say 9:55am flights?

Thanks,

 

HAVEN SUITE BENEFITS

 

Let your Concierge know of your plans.

You will be notified to be at a specific location and time to meet.

The Concierge or representative will escort you to the front of line for clearing

any Customs & Immigration and off you go .

*** Note have walk off baggage with you - you will not have time to look and

claim your baggage timely to make that 9:55am flight - you are pushing the

envelope to make this work -BUT- with Suite Haven benefits it is doable.

Best also with a Priority Affinity program with your airline traveling with

TSA Pre-Ck and First or Business Class !

Only glitch would be a late docking; weather related issues or Customs snafu -

but with routine docking not a problem to be of concern.

 

Side note what are your ground taxi shuttle arrangements port to airport -

you are not going to wing it (that) and do this a the last minute are you ?
