Is 11:15 flight too early??

Our options for flight back home after disembarkation is 11:15 or 1:15. We are to dock at 8:00. We would rather do the earlier but worried if we dock late we won't make our flight. We would do the self-disembarkation and take a cab. We booked the 1:15 but there is a $200+ price difference and would like to take the earlier......would you do the 11:15???? Appreciate any input.

Just got off the phone with a Norwegian representative who said the time they usually advise is flights 12:00 and later for a port arrival time of 8:00.

However, she said if we do the express checkout and carry our own bags off right at the disembarkation time that the 11:15 would be fine since the cab ride to the airport is approximately 30 minutes. We are doing the early bird check-in with Southwest but will have bags to check in. So I think 3.15 hours should be enough to get there, check our bags and get through TSA.

If we have a late arrival to port things could change but then the 1:15 may not be good enough either.

It's all a crap shoot.

:D:D

Sounds like you answered your own question! Lol

I assume your coming from Miami and flying out of FLL. We were scheduled in port at 8:00am on the Escape. We were in port by 6:00am. We walked off the ship at 7:10am and we had a shuttle get us to FLL by 8:20am. Our flight was 10:45am. You shouldn't have any problems.

How much was the shuttle from Port of Miami to FLL? Would you recommend the company?

This question comes up frequently and this is my standard answer:

The worry warts will all start the negativity and list every possible tragedy including global thermal nuclear war as reasons not to book before 11am. The reality is that you are taking a domestic flight out of a small easy to navigate airport. Traffic on a Sunday morning should be light and cabs will be plentiful. As long as you don't dawdle off the ship you should be fine. What airline and airport are you flying to?

We are flying out of Louis Armstrong airport on Southwest. I don't mind a 1:15 flight it was the lay over time that put us home 4 hrs later.

Hello, curious about how the early flight worked out for you guys? We have the same situation upcoming with a Carnival cruise that is at dock at 8:00. I want to book the early Southwest flight to Raleigh at 10am out of MSY. Appreciate your insight and experience. Thanks!
