crazyboutdisney Posted August 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2015 We are flying in and out of Ft Lauderdale for our March sailing out of Miami. Would there be any issue making a 240pm flight from Ft Lauderdale on the day we dock? And I would have no problem doing self assist off the ship if neccesary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2015 You will be off the ship by 9:30 -10 am at the latest 1 hr trip to FLL depending on traffic No need to carry bags off unless you want to get one of the shuttles to FLL check QLS, SAS, Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted August 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2015 No need to rush - sleep in, enjoy breakfast in the MDR, and be among the last to leave the ship - you will still have lots of time to get to FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted August 12, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Either way, take your time getting off the ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcell Posted August 12, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2015 what do you think the earliest you can leave fll if you are arriving at POM? 2pm I think is fine, how about Noon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted August 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) what do you think the earliest you can leave fll if you are arriving at POM? 2pm I think is fine, how about Noon? Our flight is at noon. I know it is a risk, but it is a calculated risk on our part. In March we were at FLL by 8:30 after walking off the Epic (we were in a suite, so avoided the lines). We also had a private car service (which we actually had to wait a bit for or we would have been at the airport even earlier) and have TSA PreCheck.

aurelius180 Posted August 12, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I would think noon would be fine but I would get off the ship a little earlier than if I had a 2:40pm flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you like your car service - could you recommend one to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Did you like your car service - could you recommend one to me... Larry's Limos is often suggested for Miami service - the ride from POM to FLL takes 45-60+ minutes depending upon traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted August 13, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Did you like your car service - could you recommend one to me... I won't recommend who we used this year. He got us where we wanted to go, but was probably the most rude customer-facing person we've dealt with in some time. It wasn't Larry's, so feel free to use them. We used QLS in 2014 for a shuttle for six people and were happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted August 13, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I used Johns Car service, it was more reasonable than Larry's for our requirements of dropping 2 at a FLL hotel and 2 at the airport. He wasn't the most customer friendly guy but was pretty efficient. We did have to wait quite a while for him to arrive after we called. I expected he would be right outside the port but I think he might have been in FLL. I'd probably use him again if necessary.

So far I am pleased with the customer service so hopefully that continues. I don't like to wait so I hope he is on time! We have him booked airport to hotel, hotel to port and port back to hotel.

Rare Keith1010 Posted August 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 16, 2015 If you are arriving to Miami and want to fly out of Fort Lauderdale at Noon I would just play it safe and request to be off the ship first. All might go well and you might get there very early. But if things go wrong then being off first is good. Remember once in awhile someone gets randomly picked for customs to go through their luggage or ships sometimes arrive late. Even sometimes there are work slowdowns at Miami.
