Can I catch my flight?

[latitude918]

Trying to buy plane tickets is giving me a headache.

 

I have FTTF, and with an 1141am return flight, I need to ask, would I be off the ship in time to get to the airport by 10am?

 

Those that have used FTTF before, how long does it take to get off of the ship? Is it smooth? Do you use the self-assist or do you debark by zones?

 

Any info provided would be greatly appreciated.

 

Flying in/out of Miami; Home port is Miami.

Generally, 11:30 would be the soonest I would book a flight there.

 

This is discussed almost daily on the Florida Departures board, here:

Maybe, but it will take just one hitch and you could miss your flight.

Yes....barring anything unforeseen, you should be at the airport by 9am....you will need to tell them (about midway thru the cruise...they'll tell you when) that you have an early flight. Do so. That will get you in one of the 1st groups off the ship.

 

The airport is a 20 min. cab ride away.

The gf and I just decided to throw down a few extra $$ and get a later flight. No big deal. Thanks for the info.

Wise decision. Why end your vacation stressing? Have a great cruise!!

What cruise line? If you can walk off anytime it is possible. But any delays.... That being said I was at the Miami airport by 930am one year. Walk off with NCL though

Glad you decided to take a later flight.

That way you will not be stressed getting off the ship and to the airport should the ship arrive back in port late or the ship isn't cleared right away by the local authorities.
