Kelli0927 Posted December 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2022 What time does self assist departure from the ship usually start? I'm trying to estimate transportation pick up. Also, given your previous experience, what would be the earliest I could book a flight out from FLL if I'm sailing from Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted December 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Officially self-disembarkation tends to start at 7:00. We sailed out of Miami in September, and this was our experience: We joined the disembarkation line, which snaked through the dining room and out onto the promenade deck about 6:45 -- about 75 people were ahead of us. The line started moving (quickly) about 7:15. We exited the terminal about 7:30 and were through Customs and in our car driving towards home about 7:40. The whole thing was quick and efficient. I personally wouldn't count on it being that quick -- you just never know. I would not want a flight any earlier than 9:00. Your comfort zone might vary.

What time is your ship scheduled to arrive in Miami? It kind of depends on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted December 2, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 2, 2022 In the past we have done 11 am flights and had time to relax and grab a bite to eat in airport lounge. Definitely do not recommend any earlier than 10 am. If your cruise is on or close to a holiday expect longer waits for TSA, precheck doesn't always work.
