return flights from miami

[zoe girl]

could i make a 10am flight from miami?

[ColinIllinois]

Possible but in my opinion cutting it way too close. I wouldn't suggest it.

WELL...................if u in the dock by 7am or 8, n had your cab-shuttle reasdy for the airport, AND, maybe did the on board checkin, on the ship the night before, u just may make that flight. Is advisable, no, is it possible, yes.

 

G-luck....

From a previous poster....they wrote ' If you carry all your luggage off the ship (don't leave them out the night before) you should be able to disembark around 7:30 or 8.00)'.

 

OK - hope this helps...............;):o

Off epic yesterday. First passengers were off at 7.43am

[orangegrove]

anything is possible, on our cruise off the Epic, they were leaving before 730am and downtown Miami on a Saturday is dead. Would I risk a 10am, no. a noon flight yes.

I would not recommend it. You are banking on everything goin very smoothly upon return.

 

There are variables that could always interefere. I have read reports on CC many time in the past of disembarkation delays for many reasons beyond the control of the cruise line, including customs etc.

if things go smoothly you carry ALL your bags off at 7:30, get through customs by 7:45 and in a waiting cab before 8am. You could be at the airport by 8:15 or 8:30, which gives you plenty of time. However, you only have about 30 - 45 minutes of play in that schedule, so it's a bit risky.

I went with the 4:35p flight out of MIA back to Newark NJ. I remember taking our sweet time off the NCL Star when it came back to Los Angeles at 8am'ish...think we signed up for the last color to disembark...me thinks we were off the ship and through customs and all by 11am (this was 2 years ago so my memory might be off).

 

My options for direct flights back to EWR from MIA on Continental was 7:05a (nopers)...a 10:35am (pushing it)...so opted for the 4:35p. Figure we can hang around SoBe and Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive for a bit. I wonder where we can store our luggage though, not being hotel guests at any of the Ocean Drive hotels?? I doubt it would make sense to cab it to MIA, check-in our luggage, only to head back in a cab again to the beach, and then back again to the airport.

 

Peace all...
