Help!! Arriving Dec. 23, On The Volendam At Fort Lauderdale Cruise Terminal. We Need To Catch A Noon Flight Out Of West Palm Beach International. Any Ideas Or Suggestons? Thanks

Make sure the ship is aware of this. You will then be one of the 1st group of passengers to disembark. Most ships have a form left in your cabin for you to fill in time of your flight. You will then get 1st color off tag. You can go to the purser's desk to make sure its the right color. If its not they will give you the color you need. You should have no trouble making it if you can get off the ship when they expect you to but there can be delays. How are you getting to West Palm? You should plan an hours drive at least. How far ahead of your flight do you have to be at the airport? (We drive from NC). Can you move your reservation to Lauderdale? That would be the surest way to get a flight- even if its 11-11:30 flight.

Palm Beach flight at noon, that's going to be interesting.

According to the Miami Herald, December 23rd is going to be the busiest port day on record for Port Everglades with 46,666 people passing through the gates. While the port is great at moving people from point A to point B I'll be curious to see how they handle the volume on 12/23.

You should consider changing your flight to a later time. ;)

Get a later flight. It will save your sanity.

Thanks, I have already moved the flight once. It is actually 12;55PM- WHERE DID YOU GET THE 40K PEOPLE FIGURE FOR PORT TRAVELLERS? i THINK I WILL NEED A DRINK FOR THIS.

Quit typing in CAPS. It is irritating. ;)
