Disembark

What time are we allowed to get off the ship in Fort Lauderdale if we walk off ourselves with our luggage and pass through customs? We have an 11:50am flight out of Fort Lauderdale is that plenty of time? Thanks.

If everything goes smoothly.........

First walk off group is about 7:00 to 7:30. Make sure you sign up for this about 3 days prior to the end of the cruise. Stewart should hand out paperwork but you can go to the passenger services desk and sign up too. ;)

An 11:50 flight leaves you more than enough time to have a leisurely breakfast on the ship and disembark with one of the regular groups rather than carry your own luggage off at the crack of dawn. The airport is less than a 10 minute taxi ride away.

Totally doable, even without carrying your own bags off! The airport is about 8-10 mins. away.

11:50 is fine for your flight.

That time would be easy on my stress level.:)

Last year I had an 11:35 AM flight and had plenty of time. Don't sweat the small stuff! Enjoy your cruise.

NOPE - it is shortly after 6:00am now as arrival time has changed this season at PE.

Depends on what time you actually dock..

 

But even I would be OK with 11:50 unless something has changed drastically.

Thank you everyone! :-)

I also have a flight at 11.30. However, I just learned that there will be 7 ships in port that day. Should I plan on doing the self disembark?

Yes...it's plenty of time. You don't even need to do walk off to make a 1150am flight. We do walk off ...have done it many, many times and are usually at our gate waiting at 730am to 8am. Walk off in Fort Lauderdale usually starts between 610am and 645am.

Yup.......

It was around 6 when we disembarked however our friends disembarked last week and it was 7:10.

 

So you just sailed?

I would, then you are at the gate with lots of time to relax.

Thank you. Would rather wait at the airport than miss our flight home. :)

Also look real close at the EZ Check program. This allows your luggage to be taken from in front of your room and the next time you will see it is at your destination. It will also check you into your flight and get you your boarding pass. Not all airlines participate and it has a early flight time restriction but it works great if available. Then when you leave the ship you will not have to worry about carrying your bags.

Thank you for the info. Is this available for flights going to Canada?
