CutestLittleEvil Posted September 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Has anyone flown in to West Palm Beach same day of cruise? What ground transportation did you use? Thanks! I've done that several times. I fly to WPB then take the train to Miami. Then I will take a taxi from the station to the port. Very cost effective. But only if it is a very early flight. It can take 1.5 hours to make the trip. Edited September 28, 2014 by CutestLittleEvil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdler Posted September 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Ninety minutes from cab to train to cab to Miami?! Wow! You have good luck. As a South Florida resident I find this to be very optimistic. I would allow at least-- really, at least-- 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I will give you the same advice I gave to someone earlier on another post. Try not to fly in the day of the cruise. There is just too much risk should your flight be delayed or cancelled. What can go wrong? Computer Glitches Security Breach on plane or at Airport Weather Mechanical Issue FAA issue Lack of Flight Personnel Or a multitude of other things. Just look at what happened at Chicago the other day. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted October 1, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Has anyone flown in to West Palm Beach same day of cruise? What ground transportation did you use? Thanks! If you are in a Winter area going on a Winter time cruise, as Keith says, fly in a day earlier...PBI to Miami is only about 75 miles by car, or 1. 5 -2 hrs by Tri-Rail, but why take a chance & stress yourself out? Only if you're coming in from like, Atlanta or Charlotte, both non-stop and less weather problems, might you consider the same morning...flying & airports are such a mess these days....
