Cruisin 4 Ever Posted July 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I will be taking a 6 night cruise in February and have never sailed from Port Everglades. The itinerary shows the ship returns at 8 am. I am looking at a 12:00 flight. DOes anyone know if the ship usually does get in at or before 8? Or what time you usually can be off the ship?

nik23 Posted July 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Ft. Lauderdale port is a quick taxi or Uber ride to the airport. Taxis readily available when you debark. 12pm flight should be just fine. We have done 9:40 - 11 am flights several times and had no issues at all. We do self debarkation and usually are in line to get off ship by 7am., so that we are first off once the ship is cleared.

BNBR Posted July 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2019 A 12 pm flight is about as easy as it gets. It's even the time the cruise lines recommend. This is a total non issue and nothing to be concerned with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbethel11 Posted July 27, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2019 A tip I've learned, that I WILL be utilizing next time I disembark in Port Everglades for an Early flight, is telling GS that you have an early flight, and that I would like to be one of the first people of the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted July 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Shouldn't be a problem with a noon flight at all. Hopefully, there won't be pax claiming an early flight to get a low zone # when all they want to do is get off the ship early for their drive home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe Carnival should check documents proving they have an early flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blarko Posted July 27, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2019 FLL is so close to Port Everglades. I just checked my Lyft app and saw that we were picked up at the port at 9:35 am and dropped off FLL at 9:45 am. We took our time getting off the ship and were at the airport in plenty of time for our flight that was before noon (it was 11 something but I don’t recall the exact flight time). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted July 27, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2019 For my June cruise, I had FTTF and was off of the ship by 7:30. The passengers with early flights were off even sooner. By the way, nobody checked to make sure I had FTTF when I went to the theater to wait that morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
