jordanaire Posted July 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2019 My son will be stepping off the Conquest in Miami and flying from FLL at 11:40. Will he have time to make this flight? The next Delta flight is a few hours later and costs $150 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Sure, do self debark and catch an Uber to fll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted July 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I do not like stress, especially at the end of a cruise. I would fly later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsrule Posted July 2, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I’d fly later. We didn’t get off the Conquest till almost 10am a few weeks ago..got to the airport around 10:30-10:45ish. Any traffic delay and you could have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogibear Posted July 2, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I would go with the later flight. All you need is a late ship or a traffic mishap on th road and you would be screwed!! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplephenom Posted July 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2019 It will probably be fine. But if the ship is late or traffic is bad or something goes wrong, it could be an issue. I would fly later, just to have more of a buffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisers who take them and miss their flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said I would not try it cause the margin of error is to small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purvis1231 Posted July 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Generally, Carnival will allow those with early flights to leave the ship first. I would make these arrangements with the ship on the night before. With this unless something usual happens he should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin sun and fun Posted July 2, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This past April we made our 12:25 flight out of FLL and we didn't do anything special debarking in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask guest services what you should do since you have an early flight. You really could make it doing regular disembark, easily, but to obnoxiously safe and get there way early, just do express. I disembarked Magic the other day and was off at 7:30AM, there had to be 500 - 1000 people in front of me and still out of the terminal by 8AM. If you let them know you had an early flight and need to disembark early, you could be in that first few hundred people and out VERY quickly. This is a total non-issue. The flight time is perfect... heck, I'd even say a tad late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted July 3, 2019 #14 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It shouldn't be an issue making that flight. Or, if you are worried, take that $150 you are saving, book a hotel and take the same flight the next day. Miami isn't a bad place to spend an extra day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride from POM to FLL takes about 35-45+ minutes, depending upon day of the week and traffic. That translates into of the ship, with bags, and clear of customs and immigration by about 9:00 AM; carry your bags off earlier to be safe. Grab the first cab for about $70+ or wait 5+ minutes for an Uber for about $35+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure 7am as that was the time we planned to head down based on the information in the disembarkation sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
