online check in departure time warning

[lablvr]

Hi, Thought I would ask all of you before I called Celebrity. Flying home Feb 5th from cruise on Mercury out of Baltimore. The schedule says ship arrives in Baltimore at 7AM. Our flight leaves at 12:05PM. Is this not OK? I got a big red warning at online check in that 12:05 wasn't in line with the 12:30 acceptable time. Airline actually changed the time on me anyway..moved it from 12:15 to 12:05 but...can't we disembark early enough to make this flight?

If you carry your own luggage off you should be among the first people to depart, which should give you time to make your flight assuming the airport is not too much of a hike from the port.

Thanks for the info. By the way I was on the post "sick" Mercury out of Charleston when EVERYTHING was controlled by the staff. We had a great cruise but what's different or usual when the ship is healthy? Food service, etc.

You should be just fine. The airport is about 10-15 minutes South of Baltimore. Even if you are amongst the last group to depart the ship at around 10am, you should still be able to take a Taxi from the port to the airport in plenty of time to check in, go thru security, and catch your flight.
