"Average" disembarkation time for Mariner?

[sppunk]

We're flying out at 11:10 a.m., after talking to quite a few people who said you can usually get off the ship by 8 a.m., meet your towncar at 8:30 a.m. and be at MCO by 9:30 a.m., and have an hour 'til the flight leaves.

 

Is this the norm, or are these people all incredibly fortunate?

We had a flight that left about 11:55 am from Miami. We purchased RCI transfers and had plenty of time at the airport before our flight. So long as there isn't a problem getting the ship docked and cleared through imigration I don't think you'll have a problem but you might be cutting it a little close. One never knows for sure what security will be like at the airport, how your luggage will come off the ship or what other delays might be in store for you.

Without any delays, I think you'll be fine.

On our recent cruise we were told they would start calling colors at 7:25 am and they did. We did not have many non-US citizens so that helped the embarkation for US citizens start sooner.

And it's true now you have the option to carry your own luggage off, right? We'll likely be able to pack only two bags, so carrying it off ourselves isn't a big deal to us at all, especially since we'll be meeting a car service.

Yes, you can carry your own bags off. There will be info in the Compass and with the debarkation info.

 

Enjoy your trip.

Yes, you can take your own bags off. But, you can not take large bags on.
