krisko Posted January 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm wondering if we can make a 8:45 flight out of FLL. I remember on Mariner we left one time at 7am carrying our own bags. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably get off as early as 6:30am if you carry your own bags and there are no delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigggypup Posted January 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2014 You can probably get off as early as 6:30am if you carry your own bags and there are no delays. That is assuming that the ship is not delayed getting into port. I think 8:45 is way too early to try and catch a flight out. With any delays, it sounds good on paper. But I am a firm believer in Murhy's Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisko Posted January 14, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We're non revving so it's not a must I make that flight but I'd love to. Getting off at 6:30 would be awesome! What's the earliest we can get on the ship? We're emerald members (I think?) and we'll be at the port by 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should allow at least 2 hours to check in at FLL especially on a Saturday or Sunday to allow for other cruise passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMoney Posted January 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2014 On my Oct Oasis cruise, I carried off my own bags and was at the gate for my flight out of FLL by 645am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisko Posted January 14, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted January 14, 2014 You should allow at least 2 hours to check in at FLL especially on a Saturday or Sunday to allow for other cruise passengers. If we can be off and through customs by 7, we'll probably make the 8:45. There's a flight every hour after that, but since we're nonrevving, it starts getting tight after noon.

houstoncruisers2001 Posted January 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 14, 2014 You're at the mercy of Customs. i've seen it good and i've seen it bad. I'd never book an early flight home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitlioner Posted January 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We just got off the Oasis this past Saturday. We made our way off the ship about 7:45 and had our luggage, thru customs and at the airport by 8:30. The security checkpoint line at FLL was LONG. It took us 2 hours to get to our gate. They were pulling people out of line to make sure they made flights. One of the worst lines I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I've seen walkoffs as early as 6:15 on Oasis and Allure. Probably no problem That is assuming that the ship is not delayed getting into port. I think 8:45 is way too early to try and catch a flight out. With any delays, it sounds good on paper. But I am a firm believer in Murhy's Law. Oasis and Allure are very rarely late. The ship docks at the most advanced port facility in the world I'd say. You won't believe how fast they embark and disembark passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other cruise passengers? There aren't any other ships that let off as early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUH??:confused: We have always walked off with our own bags at 6:30-6:45 am Edited January 14, 2014 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisabeth Posted January 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My husband and I use the earliest express disembark on Oasis carrying our bags. The first time we were off the ship and through customs by 0615, the second time we had a delay at customs due to someone trying to sneak marijuana through, and we stood waiting around for over an hour. We didn't get through customs until 0815. It just depends on what happens in customs. We live in Miami and you would be surprised the amount of people who leave for cruises from the port of Miami but fly in/out of FLL airport. The FLL airport can get crazy on the weekends. Allow time to get through security, but they are usually pretty good about escorting people through who have flights leaving soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
