Slam725 Posted February 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I know this has probably already been asked and answered many times, but I need to know is ship is due in at 8 Am and I book flight from FLL at 1:42PM , would I make iit? It says to allow 6.5 hours but that puts me home too late. Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasGuy75219 Posted February 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2022 You should be fine as long as you do self assist disembarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine5715 Posted February 5, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Carnival recommends flights at 12 noon or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondello Posted February 5, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2022 We did it off Sunshine 12/31. We needed an Uber XL and surge pricing was ridiculous. We waited several minutes for the crowd to thin out a little and the price dropped down to a realistic amount. I think it was around $76 plus tip. They want us off the ship earlier than I remember pre-Covid. A 1:42 flight would be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highcorral25 Posted February 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Here is my report from two years ago, Miami Seaport to FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW Native1 Posted February 6, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I did this in September when I sailed on the Horizon. I got off the ship around 9am, took the Carnival shuttle to FLL, and was at the airport by 10:30 am. My flight wasn't until late in the day so I had lots of time to kill at the airport.

We made an 155am flight back in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryalamb Posted February 6, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2022 We cruised 2 weeks ago and had no trouble at all with a flight before noon. We took our own luggage off and as we exited there were plenty of taxis and shared vans to get you to FLL. We got a shared van and I think the cost was $20pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinWithDLS Posted February 6, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2022 You should be totally fine with noon or after and doing self assist off the ship. If using Uber, schedule it in advance as opposed to waiting until morning of and paying the surge premium. On the drop down that shows “now” select it and I believe you can schedule up to like 2 weeks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you have no idea what time you'll be actually be off the ship, cleared customs, and waiting outside, and possibly which terminal you'll be disembarking at.

cellfree Posted February 6, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2022 We got off the Freedom this morning in Miami, we are Platinum and walked off to get our luggage at 7:45, those carrying off their own luggage were walking off by then as well, easy and quick, no longer custom agents checking passports. All this to say you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrefan15 Posted February 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Last month we got off Freedom at 8:30 in Miami. We had reserved a private shuttle (through Larry's Limo) ahead of time to FLL airport. They were at port waiting for us and we were at FLL airport before 10:00.

With the ride from POM to FLL taking 40-50+ minutes, depending upon traffic, you have lots of time to make your flight - sleep in a bit, enjoy one last breakfast in the MDR, and then wander off the ship about 9:00 and find your ride share/shuttle/limo. Have a great cruise! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
