MikeH Posted June 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Can anyone tell me what is a safe time to book a flight home from a cruise? We are on Caribbean Princess that arrives back from Eastern Carib on Aug 21st. Not sure if we can book for something like 11am or does it need to be much later than that? Earlier? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted June 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2004 The cruise lines generally recommend no later than noon. Others will tell you can book earlier but I wouldn't risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJohnson Posted June 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I presume trish1c means no [B]earlier[/B] than noon ;) Noon is a good general guideline, if flying out of the port city on a reasonably simple cruise - you can maybe push it to 11:00 AM for US citizens on 1 week Caribbean cruises from a compact port like Ft.Lauderdale, but I wouldn't recommend it.

trish1c Posted June 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I did mean no earlier than noon. Sorry if I caused confusion. I was tired & rushing when I posted that. I also meant to say I would not risk booking a flight much earlier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanCruisesRock Posted June 27, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2004 [b][color=red]Our flight home is around 1 PM........... if you do have a flight earlier then 12 AM then you can get special luggage tags that let you off early to get to your flight.[/color][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsulin Posted June 27, 2004 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Flying out of Ft. Lauderdale - best bet is to get a flight after 12 pm noon. You might get a better rate on air that leaves around 5:00 p.m., and then do one of the post-cruise excursions, like a tour of Miami or a trip to the Everglades (which was very interesting, and a lot of fun!)
