Nope. Not enough time. You would need to be at the airport check in by 8am for an 11am flight. Even if the ship arrival time is 7am, disembarkation isn’t likely to even start until 7:30-7:45am. If the ship arrival is 6am, it might be worth the chance as long as you have a plan B.

Thanks, Carolyn… I’ve been mostly on CC roll calls. Great to see you, too. 🙂 Still cruising 2-3x/year. Life is good.

Thanks for the responses. Pretty sure I have my answer. Someone posted the form from this past week on another forum. Looks like it’s only FLL.

Princess offers EZ Check to FLL. Pre-Covid, it was offered to MIA as well. I recently saw a sign-up form and it appeared to be just for FLL. I’ll be booking my air for my return home to LA next week (when miles redemption opens) for next October and there are far more flight options from MIA than FLL. So, my question is whether EZ Check, when disembarking in Ft. Lauderdale, is available for flights out of Miami. I’d love to visit friends in the Ft. Lauderdale area during the day but don’t want to drag my luggage around after a 16-day plus pre-cruise stay around. Thanks!

If they book the Sanctuary, how do you select a specific lounger from those available? The loungers are moveable and not always in the same layout. Unless things have changed in the last two months, Sanctuary bookings are done on paper sheets, one for each day.

I remember! Yes, boarding the Emerald on the 29th for a family cruise. We’re going to distribute my sister’s ashes at sea.

I was also on her for the 28-day cruise in March/April. Had a great time. Yes, there are some rust spots but you expect that with any ship, boat, car or home that’s on or near salt water.

The vibration when docking or sailing is most likely the thrusters, not the propellers or engines since the ship is being moved by the thrusters at that point.

Princess used to have a “grace” period of five days after final payment is due but quite a few years ago, they eliminated that. Final payment is due the date they say and the system will automatically cancel the booking. It’s on every statement or invoice I’ve received. (My TA sends me the Princess invoice and then her invoice since she always saves me money.) Travel agents almost always ask their customers to authorize final payment 3-5 days before the Princess final payment date. That’s in case there’s a glitch, credit card error, charge doesn’t go through, error in giving the TA your credit card, etc. The bottom line is that there’s always a final payment date and the responsibility is always the passenger’s to authorize and make final payment on time. Doesn’t matter whether you book directly or with a TA.
