martini girl Posted February 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have not cruised out of Miami in years and have a flight at 11:30 am. Is there any possibility that we will make that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted February 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Last week, we were at FLL by 8:30 am from the Port of Miami. Customs was a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted February 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Martini girl - Unless something goes wrong you should make your flight. The luggage valet service only guarantees after 12:30pm so I guess that is where you absolutely should make the flight. To put this into perspective - Sacramento CA once took me 4 hours to get through security as the had a bomb threat phoned in. Thus you never know. Given a choice I would take a flight just after lunch. Others have booked flights at 9:00am and discussed the likelihood of making their flight. Never have heard if any of them made it or not. Same issue with delays in arriving the day of the cruise. You never know when Murphy will strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayaguru Posted February 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We did self disembarkation (on Carnival). walked off at 7.15. At the airport by 8.30 (from memory). Luckily our airline let us get an earlier flight. Plenty of taxis out the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM64 Posted February 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We had an 11:30 am flight out of MIA and had no problem making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEwAbG Posted February 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have not cruised out of Miami in years and have a flight at 11:30 am. Is there any possibility that we will make that? I made an 11:07 am with too much time to spare just a couple of weeks ago so unless there is a huge problem with getting off the ship, you should be fine. We kept our luggage in our room and carried it off at 8 am and were at the airport by 8:15 am. MIA has longer-than-normal lines so give yourself plenty of time, especially if flying American. And research alternate flights later in the day so you have a game plan should something come up to delay you. Luggage valet was available for flights after 11 am on the Reflection two weeks ago.

macaroni Posted March 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2016 We left the eclipse and walked off at 7am...we're on line at 6am...at airport at 7:30 and got on an earlier 9:30 flight instead of 12:30. We're home about the time our original flight took off...very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I would try to be in the first group leaving the ship. Print out your boarding pass on board. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
