ranchette Posted October 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The ship docks at 8:00 a.m. in Miami our flight is at 12:00 p.m. out of Fort Lauderdale, if we have a private car service pick us up can we make the flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Not knowking anything about your ship, if you have the ability to take off your own bags and be outside the terminal no later that 9am, then I'd be OK with a noon flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmax Posted October 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We have done this several times with a noon flight. We always do self-assist (walk off ship with luggage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted October 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It could work .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted October 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2014 It should work. For a noon flight you need to be at FLL by 10:30 (earlier is better). With the drive from POM to FLL taking about 45 minutes that means you need to be in your car and rolling by 9:45. As suggested above, carry your own bags off and pray there are no customs/immigration delays. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted October 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2014 We have done this several times with a noon flight. We always do self-assist (walk off ship with luggage). We did this with the carnival liberty and we did self assist with our luggage. We used SAS shared shuttle services and not only did we have plenty of time but we were waiting in the airport because we were too early to check our luggage. Yes it can be done.

Rare Keith1010 Posted October 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I would have preferred 12:30 PM for more cushion so I would do as others have said and do self assist disembarkation. Glad you have private transportation. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketlady Posted October 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am sure you have plenty time. But I would take my own luggage off and get a taxi. We arranged in advance for someone to pick us up in a mini bus one year. I swear we were the last people to leave the pier. They have hundreds of taxis waiting to run you to the airports as you get off the ship. I don't even call a cab company ahead of time because they too are late. It is a hassle to find your cab you called. The attendants out in front of the ships keeps the traffic flowing big time. It is crazy. And funny to watch them yelling at the drivers to get their butts moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurelius180 Posted October 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2014 It would certainly depend on the ship but I would have no problem with that flight time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Sean Posted October 6, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wife and I did NOT do the self assist back in May and we did NOT make this flight due to customs delays and we were only in group 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchette Posted October 6, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wife and I did NOT do the self assist back in May and we did NOT make this flight due to customs delays and we were only in group 2. What cruise line were you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wieslaw Posted October 6, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) What cruise line were you on? Hi, perhaps the poster will let you know when they /s/he will see the question..... but the poster mentioned in one of the posts on RCI's board, that the ship was Liberty. ...... so it had to be RCI cruise line..
