Disembarkment Question
Hi All-
Well, I am now OFFICIALLY 60 days away from departing for my next cruise. A bat of an eye for those enjoy anticipation. A Valentines shove off on Explorer of the Seas that we're all looking forward too. So, as promised, I shall begin the questioning. Expect one of these every week or so, just to build the anticipation- Question # 1- 10 of my party have a 10:50 flight out of MIA when we get back. Four have 12:10 flights out of FFL.. How easy (or difficult) is it to make arrangements to be in the first tags called to disembark? Question #2- How easy is it to get a cab once off? Question #3 -What's the average cabfare to MIA and FFL? Thanks John Office of Anticipation The Zamgwar Institute |

10:50 is a little bit early for my comfort level.
There will be lots of cabs at the pier. Taxifare to Miami airport is $20. Taxifare to Fll airport is about $60. |

Disembarkment Question
When we took the Explorer last year they started to disembark at 7:15 AM &
you would have had sufficient time BUT I really think it was exceptionally earlier that normal & I wouldn't count on it again. A 10:30 flight is much to early even if everything does go accordingly to schedule. The day we left on the ship there was almost a 45 min wait just to get into the port area because of some activity going on & from what I hear it's not an uncommon thing.

That is a flight that might be missed. -- Charles |

How easy (or difficult) is it to make arrangements to be in the first tags called to disembark? Did you book your own air? If so, I would try to get the 10:50 flight changed to a later time. Although we have usually gotten off the ship by 9:30 am, I would feel more comfortable with a later departure time. Normally theose people with the earliest flight times disembark first. This is taken care of during the cruise with a questionnaire left in your cabin. If in doubt, you can check with the purser's desk. Nick Question #2- How easy is it to get a cab once off?

Disembarkment Question
Normally theose people with the earliest flight times disembark first. This is taken care of during the cruise with a questionnaire left in your cabin. I never understood why they have to ask you your plans if you booked your airfare with the cruise line. They should have that information. The question I really don't understand is when they ask if you will be staying on the ship for the next cruise. They should, definitely, know the answer to that one. |

How easy (or difficult) is it to make arrangements to be in the first tags called to disembark? When on-board, check in with the information desk. Show them your airline ticket reciepts and they will give you priority debarkation. However, a 10:50 a.m. flight is extremely risky. While the ship arrives at 7:00 a.m., they will not let anyone off until the ship clears customs, which is usually around 9:00 a.m. Add another 45 minutes for you to find your bags, clear customs yourself, and get to the airport and you really are pushing it. Some airlines now automatically cancel your reservation if you have not checked in 60 minutes before your flight. The 12:10 flights from Fort Lauderdale is better, since you still will get priority debarkation. I personally would try to book a flight after 2:00 p.m. after a cruise, and never book a flight before noon. Both Miami International and Fort Lauderdale International are madhouses on weekend afternoons, expecially during the winter months because of the thousands of cruisers going home all at the same time. Question #2- How easy is it to get a cab once off? Getting a taxi is very easy. They will line up right outside the terminal building. If you need a larger vehicle (if you have more than four people in your party), you can request a taxi van or station wagon. They may be a little harder to find, but not that much harder. Question #3 -What's the average cabfare to MIA and FFL? Fares are fixed for taxi cabs from the Port of Miami to Miami International Airport at $18 per cab, regardless of how many people are in the taxi. Taxi fare from the Port of Miami to Fort Lauderdale International Airport should run you around $50 for up to five people in your cab. These fares do not include tip.
