11:19 flight FLL

[travelgalnyc]

Is an 11:19 flight enough time for a flight out of FLL after disembarking the Emerald Princess? It's 1 of 3 ships(Navigator and Constellation) in port. Princess is saying it's to early but it's 4 hrs after arrival which is what Princess website recommends.

Barring the unforeseen, it's fine. We got off the Oasis of the Seas on a Sunday with 5 or 6 other ships, didn't do the self assist thing and still had plenty of time to kill before our 1140 am flight. But stuff happens, so know what your options are.

Most likely yes, but there is always a chance, albeit a small one, that your disembarkation from the ship will be delayed. It could be that your ship is late returning to port, or there is a delay clearing the ship by immigration/customs.

Ft. Lauderdale is notorious for having long customs/immigration lines, and not enough agents.

If your port is Port Everglades, very easy to make that flight. You are a 15 min. cab ride to FLL. Disembark the ship by 8:30. Will give you plenty of time for any lines.

As others have said you should be OK but we can't guarantee that because from time to time something goes wrong with long delays for customs/immigration.

Thanks for all the info.

There's not a problem unless there's a problem. Don't be "pennywise and pound foolish."

You could always do self disembarkation which is the first group off the ship but you have to carry your own luggage. This way if there aren't many customs agents the lines aren't as long yet.

 

There have been some reports of delayed disembarkations in Port Everglades this year. Personally I would just plan on doing self disembarkation and getting to the airport and relaxing rather than trying to squeeze extra time in on the ship and making myself nervous.
