Julma Posted October 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We are on the Majesty returning to MIA on a Friday. We have a 12:30 flight out of FLL. What is the best way to disembark...self or just an early time?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmndlil Posted October 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We have always had flights in/out of Miami, and have alsways gotten early tags. We have never had an issue making a 10:00am flight out of Miami, but FLL is approx 45 min ride. If you can handle your bags yourself, just walk off when ready. If need help get early tags, they designate when your bags are in the terminal and where you will find them. I would think you should have no problem with that flight time either way. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted October 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you can, I'd plan on walking off with your bags so you don't have to spend time looking for bags or waiting for them to come out on the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted October 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The express disembarkation on Majesty can be a nightmare. When I did it, the line stretched from the hatchway, forward all the way around the dining room, back out across the centrum and lobby area, through the hallway to the stairs, and up the stairs to deck 7. I have also read other accounts of this on Majesty. I recommend lining up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julma Posted October 15, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thx. What time would be considered early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smw0621 Posted October 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks for posting this topic. We're on Majesty for a 4 night cruise in January, and my dh booked an 11:30 flight out of FLL (he thought that's where we were cruising from)....fingers crossed we'll make the flight, but I think since it's a short cruise 1 suitcase per person and we'll carry it off the ship with us. Thanks again and happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julma Posted October 15, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I am going in Nov, so watch for my review and I will note what time we get to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecruiser09 Posted October 15, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I am going in Nov, so watch for my review and I will note what time we get to the airport. Please do post Julma. We are also flying out of FLL when we sail Majesty and would love to know what the disembarkation is like. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Jane Posted October 15, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2009 In May we opted for self-disembarkation. We wheeled our bags straight off and in to a taxi at 8am - easy peasy lemon squeezy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapcruiser Posted October 15, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We have a late flight, so would it be better to just stay on the ship as long as possible. Does self disembarkment leave first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 16, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You'll have PLENTY of time...there's no need to carry off your luggage by yourself. They want the ship cleared by 10am... Tell them (mid-week...there will be an announcement) that you have an early flight...you'll be in one of the 1st groups off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sailing the Majesty in April & am looking at a 10:00 am flight from Miami.. so you think the chances are good of making it? I've sailed majesty one other time & remember sitting outside waiting on my bus at around 8:00.. I am Diamond so that should help right? I won't be checking any luggage at the airport either.. Can you print your boarding pass from the ships computer center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Jane Posted October 17, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I think you'll be absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
