mnolan770 Posted March 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2017 We are flying into FLL on Sunday morning arriving at 8:30. After grabbing luggage and an Uber, I figure we could be at the cruise port by 10:00-10:15. Is this too early? Should I plan to go somewhere else first and then over to the cruise port later? I hate to lug our luggage all over Ft. Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2cruz Posted March 13, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Was just on a cruise a few weeks ago. Was on the Silhouette by 10:40 am and we were not the first to be on it either. You should be fine,no need to go anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted March 13, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You could be sent to a waiting area before boarding. We were on the Silhouette at 10:45 am a few weeks ago but were told it was an exception over the intercom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted March 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Go for it, by the time you've dropped your luggage and wandered to the check in, you're likely to be one of the first on. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bama4cruisin Posted March 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2017 What did you do then? Too early for lunch. Were the cabins ready? Cabins won't be ready til about 1:00 - 1:30. Cafe al Bacio is a wonderful waiting spot . . . a coffee or pot of tea is relaxing until you decide to grab a bite or cabins are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snyniew Posted March 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Was on just over a week ago. We arrived about 10:30/45 and were able to walk right on however we had priority embarktion. Others you could see had to sit in a waiting are but not sure for how long. One note on the Uber, not all of them have the proper license to enter the port. We took a taxi and he explained that he had to show his license every time he entered the port (we had to show our drivers license as well). We witnessed a few cars that had to make a u-turn and go back since they didn't have the proper documents to enter the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricflyer Posted March 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2017 On the Uber question the driver just has to have a driver license. Have Uber to my last 2 cruises at Ft Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyniew Posted March 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) On the Uber question the driver just has to have a driver license. Have Uber to my last 2 cruises at Ft Lauderdale. Idk but saw some doing a U-turn cuz they couldn't get thru. You'd think an Uber driver would have his license w/ him @ all times while driving. I believe they also need a waybill but not all drivers may know that or have it on hand. Edited March 16, 2017 by snyniew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordoncruickshank Posted March 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Just off Silhouette on Sunday. We transferred from the Eclipse in Miami and boarded around 11 am Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaDanes Posted March 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2017 We arrived at FLL and went out for a brunch on the water at a nice hotel. Took a taxi from the airport straight there. Of course they had a bell stand to hold our luggage. Got an uber from that hotel to the port around 1130 and walked right on. Great start to a vacation-way more fun that standing in a line waiting for it to open! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
