caroline2007 Posted November 11, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yes you should be fine. oh, I forgot to say that we are not US citizen, it might take longer time to pass the custom. So can we still catch the plane? also we have to check in luggage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker954 Posted November 11, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Last year we caught a plane at 9. We were warned there is an issue with fog in tampa and often they don't arrive on time because if they can't see the skybridge they wait for the fog to lift. The ship only clears the skybridge by 6 inches and that is in the middle, they must be precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamFritz Posted November 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The fog delays are real. We boarded late last February because she didn't arrive at the dock until well after noon. Other than that your flight time should be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did get a $20/pp OBC which they said was to cover our lunch costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
