LYNNF Posted February 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Due to very early flight, we will get to port in Ft Lauderdale around 10 am. Will we be able to go into waiting area and find a place to sit or will we have to wait outside until it opens? time? Thank you, Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaBear55 Posted February 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What about grabbing a bite at the airport? That might delay you just enough that when you get to the cruise terminal you could get right onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNNF Posted February 4, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted February 4, 2013 That is our plan if there is no place to wait at the port. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieRose Posted February 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Not really anywhere to sit and wait that I noticed but there may be depending on which terminal. There are a few different ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 4, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If your plane arrives at 10, by the time you get your luggage and get a cab, they should have begun boarding by the time you get to port. If all else fails, sit on your luggage...don't turn it over to the porters until they let you into the check-in area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plut0 Posted February 4, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2013 About 18 months ago, we had to arrive at the port early. We arrived at 10:10am. There was one security line open and one check in point. They checked us in and we sat in some black chairs with others that arrived early. They gave us the compass for day one to read. The people working the area were careful to understand where the diamond and above were sitting, where the suite folks were, etc. When boarding started at around 11, we boarded as directed by the ladies. We noticed that people who came later were waiting in a different area. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in other ports we have arrived as early as 10:00 and just waited in the lounge. If you are sailing Oasis/Allure, you should definitely be able to get in the building by 10 and then go upstairs and sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vondofife Posted February 4, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If you are sailing on either Oasis or Allure, they begin boarding at about 11:15am. The time you collect your bags and get a taxi to Port Everglades (10 minutes) you will be able to check in and head upstairs to the embarkation lounge (with plenty of seats).
