missymatt Posted May 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I am going to try to book a flight from Fort Lauderdale at 11:50 home to Vermont. My ship docks in Miami early morning around 7. Will I have enough time to make my flight that morning or am I cutting it too close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted May 19, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2006 You are cutting it too close. Cruiselines don't recommend flights before noon out of MIA, which is closer than FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMatt Posted May 19, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2006 If everything went perfectly, you could probably make it with little time to spare. Why risk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefajax Posted May 19, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi to All... The port to the airport is very close, so the problem is not there. The problem is the security and the lines to get through that. I have seen it short and I made my 11 am flight and another time it was long, but I got on my 12:30 flight with alittle time to spare. It is a gamble, so just weigh out the cost and remember that in gambling, you do lose on occasion. Knowing that, have a back up flight plan. ....Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefajax Posted May 20, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2006 YIKES!!!!! I retract my post. I am wrong. I didn't read the question fully. I thought it was from the airport to the docks there, not Miami. It still can be done, but the hassle and stress is alot as just one slight delay can cause you to miss the flight.......Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted May 23, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 23, 2006 No problem, grab a cab (not a shuttle), you'll be fine. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzedoll Posted May 26, 2006 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2006 We were on the Sea Princess in February and we docked at 7:30. We were off the ship by 8:15 at the airport at 8:45. Our flight was at 1:30. FLL will not let you check in until 2 hours before your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantment 04 Posted June 6, 2006 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2006 How about a 12:30pm flight from MIA when our ship docks in FLL at 7am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
