Departing FLL at 11:30??

Have a return flight in Dec flying out of FLL at 11:30. Is that cutting it close? Sailing on IOS. Kind of worried :confused:

I think you will be fine, as long as you are in one of the earlier groups off the ship. It's only a 10 minute cab ride to the airport.

I would not have a problem with that timing unless Indy is returning from a transatlantic voyage. I'd get a taxi rather than a shared shuttle to save time.

Port Everglades to FLL is easy to do an 11:30 flight. You do not have to be one of the first off the ship. Relax, have a nice breakfast and be off the ship in the later group..around 9 would be good for us. Easy to catch a cab.

 

The first groups will be off and have you at the airport before 8:30. No need to rush like that. You'll see the cruisers who booked those 10:00 flights stressing out and rushing to get off in the first 2 or 3 groups. Avoid those.... They can be dangerous.:D

I have a similar question but would going through customs and getting luggage be problematic time wise. It took us a least 1/2 hour to get through before. Just wondering.

No problem with this flight time at all...actually it's the suggested time even in order to use RCI's luggage valet program from PE to a FLL departure.

11:30 AM will be fine.

Is there a distinct, separate loading area for prearranged limos?

 

I have a fairly early flight (11:20), and will not do self carry.

Is your flight Dec. 28th, the Sunday after Christmas? It looks like there will probably be 6 ships disembarking over 20,000 passengers that day. I am thinking the airport is going to be a bit busy. Along with all those possible cruise ship passengers I am betting that there will be quite a few tourists heading home.

 

Maybe almost any other Sunday I might consider a morning flight.
