mondello Posted March 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2012 We have Carnival transfers to the airport out of Miami, but our flight time has been changed. How far is airport from port of miami? Can we make 11:30 flight? I would not want to sit and wait for the bus to fill up if I was in a hurry. I'd be first off the ship and jump in a taxi which I believe is $25.

GranysT Posted March 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2012 What was your original flight time? Did the airline make the change? I don't know how far the port is from the airport, but 11:30 would just make me too nervous. I would call the airline and see if you can get a later flight. If they changed it on you, they shouldn't charge you to make another later flight. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there twice and its been bad both times Make sure you carry your own luggage and jump on a cab, maybe it will be different for you as far as customs delays.

ladyd11933 Posted March 19, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Carnival recommends flights after 1130 out of Miami. We had had a flight at 1130 before and were fine. We took a taxi so we could be on our way and were at the airport at 0915. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacruizer Posted March 19, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yes, barring no delays docking. Do self-assist and take a cab to the airport. We've made 11am flights the last two years, BUT did self assist. Use self-check in at the airport and get through security as soon as possible. The security lines can really back up later as the more and more people arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan to use taxi or have car pick you up and you should be fine - I wouldn't plan to use Carnival's transfer, we've only did it one time and NEVER again.

cccer Posted March 19, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I agree with most of the people, don't wait for the bus to fill up. You should be fine, but do not use the Carnival transfer, take a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted March 19, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hop into a cab and you are on your way. There are cabs galore waiting outside the terminal. My cab fare was $27 and worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klmorg Posted March 19, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yes - no problem. Just do self disembarkation and then grab a cab. You'll be at the airport in loads of time. I agree with this... self-debark and grab a taxi. You should have no problems under normal circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmal99 Posted March 19, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Murphy's Law, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. That being said if you have an early flight, take a cab. The cab is a set price (for now at least) only $24 + tip. Carnival as people said, normally wait till the bus is full. Get off early take a cab.
