john kaz Posted August 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I am thinking of cruising out of Tampa in April, but not sure what is the earliest time I should book my return flight. Any input would be helpful Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlrboo Posted August 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2004 the cruise line will recommend any time after 1 PM! Normally, any time after 11 AM is reasonable, but if there is a customs problem, etc. that may not be reasonable. If you can get a time in that area that you are comfortable with, take it! Carnival booked us on a 1215 PM flight this past April and we made that with lots of time to spare! It's the unknown problems that can bite you.. you just never know! I booked an 1150AM flight from Tampa next April, and I'm really OK with it.. It's up to you how much pressure you can deal with... one never knows! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystallynn Posted August 9, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2004 the Fascination offered an express disembarkment. You had to show your airline tickets at the pursers desk and they told you where to meet in the morning. You had to to lug your own bags with you though and some stairs were involved they said.
