mdxter Posted February 6, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Guys, My flight will be arriving @ noon in FLL and was wondering will this be enough time to make it for a Miami Port departure (Carnival Valor Cruise)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doone Posted February 6, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2006 If all goes well, you should be fine. Are you able to fly in a day ahead just in case there are any problems flying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureMan_2000 Posted February 6, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yes... you will get a lot of folks here strongly suggesting arriving a day early. That way if there are any flight delays, you won't miss the ship.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbiaMDCanadian Posted February 6, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Should be ok - assuming you sail at 5 or 6. FLL to Miami is about 30/40 minutes and FLL is pretty easy to get out of so if flight's on time and bags arrive on time, you should be checking in by 2pm at the outside. One caveat is: what time of year are you going? March break, as you can imagine, slows things down in FLL (security lines that went out to the parking garage along the walkway and back last year... Of course, these slowed down everything at baggage and the gates.), and then there's weather... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdxter Posted February 6, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well, we were hoping to fly to our condo in St. Thomas on the Wednesday before the cruise, and stay there all the way til Sunday. We would then fly back to FLL just in time for the W. Caribbean on the Valor. What do you think? Can I make this schedule? Is it too close for comfort? Sept. 17, 06 is the departure date.

Seabee Posted February 7, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Wait a minute. You live in NO; have a condo in St Thomas and you want to know about travelling in the Caribbean in September. You are kidding aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdxter Posted February 8, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's not about traveling in the Caribbean. It's about fitting in a tight schedule in FLL. My dilemma is should i enjoy another day in St. Thomas and take a chance on missing the boat on Sunday or fly back to FLL a day early to stay in South Beach (been there and done that for the past 5 yrs) a day. Hoping that I will dodge a hurricane or two in the mean time. Mdxter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
