Clarea Posted July 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That's amazing, no lines for self-assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted July 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That must mean no lines at TSA. Murphy’s Law says if you plan on that, there will be at least a 45 minute wait to get through TSA. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for all terminals at FLL, I know Terminal 2 has a PreCheck line and also a Clear line. I have both, so generally walk straight on through security there.

Rare cruisegal40 Posted July 22, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2019 We usually do self assist and will on this. Not taking the chance of them mis-locating our luggage and spending minutes/hours looking for it. Thanks again for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had #1 tags once and were held up for an hour because one of our bags had not been sorted corrrectly and came off the ship late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisegal40 Posted July 22, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2019 That's what I am afraid of. Happened once. Lesson learned. Take is off with us and keep it in sight at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNBR Posted July 24, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've never seen a self assist line on Oasis class after 6:45 or so. That's generally when the line has already disembarked. 7:30, I'd definitely expect no line. Just walk off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping fingers crossed. Absolutely NO problem with a flight after 11am. No need to even cross your fingers. You'll have time to sit and eat breakfast, do some shopping, plus read a week's worth of emails before even boarding your plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted July 24, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have been very fortunate with doing self-assist on Allure and Harmony, both from Ft Lauderdale. We have been in line by 6:15-6:30 and off the ship with no delays. We have had no problems with customs/immigration and were outside getting into a cab by 6:45 and at the airport by 7AM. My flights have been 8:30 and 9:30. I realize I was taking a chance booking flight that early, but I do have Pre-check and I did have a backup plan if I missed my flight. I just didn't want to sit in an airport all day while my traveling companion/companions went on her/their way. I do admit I was nervous about the 8:30 flight, but it worked out in my favor. Would I do that again? I'm not sure, but if it meant either 8:30 or 5PM. I might have to try the 8:30 again. By the way, not that anyone cares, but we did not go to breakfast before debarkation. I had a 2or 3 hour layover in BWI, so it was a good place to have breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
