What time did you step off the ship?

Off the Freedom on Sunday in Miami.  We had Baggage Tag 14 and were off by 0930 and another of our group had 6 and was off at 0845.  I think they were a little behind due to the large number of Diamond and Platinum members ~600.  They wanted everyone off by 0945.  Miami Airport was crazy but our group 6 people made 1215 flights.  Facial recognition in the terminal speeds up the departure.

Mardi Gras last week.   Off the ship by 8:15 (self assist), through customs and on our shuttle to the airport by 8:30.  Went very smooth till we got to MCO which was a zoo.  

The MCO airport was a zoo for us too. It looked like 90% of the people flying out were booked on Southwest Airlines. Thank goodness we were at the airport about 2 1/2 hours before our flight was scheduled to leave.

Every sailing is different so even though you can get alot of real experiences, yours may not be the same at all due to weather, ship issues, etc.  If you are needing the time for booking a flight, I would recommend booking after 2pm just to be safe and be one of the last to leave the ship.  We do this every time and it works fine.  We just head to lido, have breakfast and wait for the line to shorten to get in it.  Good Luck

It varies by ship and other factors. In October we were off the Horizon by 7:10am and home by 7:45am doing self-assist. In November on the Sunrise we waited in the Plat/Diamond area much longer and wasn't off the ship until 8:15am. Both times we were docked before 7am, but the ship wasn't cleared as quickly the second time.
