Getaway Boarding Question

[beachnut41955]

I will be headed to Miami this Saturday for a wonderful Getaway get away! Our flight leaves Atlanta at 11:00 and arrives in Miami at 12:52. (If everything is on time). We purchased the transfer from the airport to the ship. In reading the documentation it says that for security reasons that everyone should be on the ship 2 hours before sail away. By the time we get in to MIA at roughly 1:00, gather our luggage and get the transfer, do you think we will meet the 2:00 all aboard time. Will it be a big problem if we are a little after 2 getting to the port? Not sure how long it takes from MIA to the ship and if they will let us board after 2:00. Any advise from seasoned NCL travelers will be appreciated. I am one of these OCD persons about being on time, so the thoughts of being after 2 makes me a little nervous. Thanks you!

If it is an NCL provided transfer, assuming your flight arrives on time, NCL will insure you get on the ship ok. Otherwise, I would not take a same day flight, especially one with an arrival time that if missed or late, leaves you no other options. However, guests, once having arrived at the port and in the check in line, process and board as late as one hour before departure.

Because of work we and lack of an extra day vacation time we could not travel a day early. The weather looks great in ATL for Saturday, so hopefully we will get out on time and get in to MIA at the scheduled time. Our transfer is through NCL.
