Earliest time for flight out of MIA
Hi all
Just wondering what the earliest departure time you would book for a flight out of MIA on the day of disembarkation from Port Everglades? Was thinking of using the cruisline's transportation. Thanks Michael |

Wouldn't suggest anything before noon if you can. Using the cruise
line transportation is fine except they wait for a full bus before they leave the terminal. Its a 40 minute ride down to Miami on 95. That stretch of highway can have some heavy delays. Of course if you have a flight before noon you can get early debarkation from the ship. I use private car service and the charge is around $65 for the car service. If there are alot of ships in port that day you will also have long airline checkin lines and worst yet the security lines. Just my suggestion for what its worth. wrote: Hi all Just wondering what the earliest departure time you would book for a flight out of MIA on the day of disembarkation from Port Everglades?

Earliest time for flight out of MIA
On the Carnival Valor last week, they didn't even begin general
debarkation until 10 a.m. because the ship was a bit late arriving in Miami. We wouldn't have made an 11:08 a.m. flight even going from Port of Miami to MIA. I think you're really taking a chance going from FLL to MIA for an 11:08 a.m. flight. The security lines at MIA were pretty long last week. Even if it costs $50 pp to make a change, I would do it for peace of mind. Not worth ending a nice, relaxing vacation on a stressful note.

Just my suggestion for what its worth. Pre 9/11 we barely made a 12 or 12:30 flight, so noon is way too early if using the cruiseline shuttle. We got early debarkation and they waited to fill up the bus and this included people who had later debarkation times. sue |

Of course I have an alternative suggestion. After your cruise spend
the night in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami. Avoid the whole airport thing entirely on a cruise day and sail thru the next day unrushed, unstressed and well rested. After the cruise go to a hotel and relax by the pool or walk the beach and have a nice dinner. I have done this for the last few years and it really takes all the stress away from a travel day. |

Most cruise lines arrive before 7:00AM and unload all of the luggage before letting passengers off. They disemark by color coded tags. So in reality, you can disemark at any time they call a color that suits you time. Simply disembark telling them that you left your luggage tags in the suitcase. They will not stop you. However, you should not plan on taking a flight before noon from either MIA or FLL. |

I much prefer to stay 2 nights prior. I enjoy Miami to its max with the anticipation of what is to come. Staying a day afterwards is only a tiring day to me. I want to get home at that point. |
