Fort Lauderdale airport

[Preziosa]

is it possible to reach a fligt 12.00 Fort Lauderdale airport, when MSC Seaside arrive in port Miami 7.00 

[Hlitner]

 No problem if there are not disembarkation delays.  It is about a 45-55 min ride from the port to FLL.  Uber and Lyft charge about $40 (for the vehicle) with taxis charging more.  There are also some transfer services.  You would want to request an early disembarkation time to allow a good margin for delays.

Do MSC offer transfer to Fort Lauderdale airport..

Rental car from FLL to MIA is really cheap with a free shuttle from the airport to port provided by the rental companies.

Yes they do.  It was pretty pricey though.   Like $50, maybe even $75 per person, sorry I can't remember now.  I also read that you may have to wait a while for others.    Even a private taxi would be cheaper and faster.  I've used Uber many times now with no significant problems.

I hope so... we are booked on a 10:40 flight out of Fort Lauderdale.

I'd never recommend it, but we made an 8:35am flight out of FLL when we sailed on the Divina out of Miami. We were taking a later flight, but as we were on our way to FLL and I realized that we'd be there by 7:30am, I looked up the earlier flight and got us on the standby list. By the way, we used Uber and this was part of the reason why we made it to the airport so quickly. It literally took 60 seconds from the moment I requested the ride until our driver pulled up. In the meantime, the queue for taxis was 20-30 deep.

you must have docked fairly early compared to what time you should have docked

The itinerary showed 7:00am, but we were docked about an hour earlier. When we entered Government Cut around 5:30am, that’s when I started brainstorming about getting on the earlier flight.

Ikea ... Sometimes they arrive earlier depending on weather and sea conditions.

[Epos Man]

good to know we are going on seaside next june and are planning to get a flight from miami international to washington that takes off at 11.15 so we will go for the express checkout where you can get off early with you carrying your own bags

I have to admit reading these replies give me lots of choices for a return flight time Thanks for the info. 

[DMH15]

Thanks all.  Encouraging info.

Thank you!   My motto has always been to never book my flight home before noon after a cruise. But my choices were 11:45 am or 5:30 pm.  Decided to go for it.
