monoptn Posted July 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2018 We just left the Harmony on Saturday. We took our own bags off around 7:30, there were no lines at all. We were checked in at the airport and waiting for our flight at 9:00. No lines, no waiting! I had mobile passport all set up, but for some reason it kept giving me an error message so we just went through using our passports (again, no line at all). Have a great time. I'm already having withdrawals! Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted July 31, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2018 To be safe I would not book a flight before about 10:30-11:00. Not sure about you, but I prefer to not worry about making my return flight while cruising. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John78259 Posted August 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2018 To be safe I would not book a flight before about 10:30-11:00. Not sure about you, but I prefer to not worry about making my return flight while cruising. ;) If you take your bags off, I agree that 11:00ish would be OK. If you plan to put them out the night before and pick them up in port, I wouldn't book flights until after 1:00. Bags roll out with the release sequence. You might be able to set up a port to airport transfer through RCCL and they can tell you the best time. I am embarking right after you leave and booked a 4:00 return flight and a post-cruise excursion that include airport transfer. Bon Voyage!

They don’t tell you onboard that Customs is not using it, it just doesn’t get a response from Customs when you attempt to use it, prior to disembarkation.

CelticMCO Posted August 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Did self assist twice last year (PEG) and both times Mobile Passport App was working and had a dedicated line at Customs (basically no line; showed bar code and out the door) ; there was a moderate line for non Mobile Passport folks. Both times left cabin at about 715/720 and was curbside by 730.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted August 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Ft Lauderdale does have Mobile Passport enabled. (I think it is the only cruise port that has it available). I tried to use it 3 years ago, and got an error message. For our Harmony cruise of this year, there were signs about it, however due to my prior experience, not in a rush to be anywhere, decided not try to fight with it. I have read good reports about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in Advance Sent from my iPhone using Forums We just got off the Harmony on Sat 8/4. Definitely use the mobile passport. Our exit time was 9am and the line for mobile passport was very short. One family in front of us vs. a line 150 people deep. You still have to show your actual passports in the mobile line My tip is use a porter at the port. It's the best $10-$15 dollar tip you can give. They know the short lines, and how to get around the mass of people quickly. To answer your question we got our luggage tag number called around 8:55am, and we were in line for a cab by 9:30am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted August 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I’m not sure that FLL is using Mobile Passport. Things are confusing enough around here - don't use airport codes when you mean Port Everglades (PE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyasneski Posted August 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2018 So they required you to scan your phone for mobile passport? Sent from my iPhone using Forums The part I found odd was the border control agent didn't want to look at my phone app at all. I had to show the line attendant that I did indeed have the app on my phone in order to get into the mobile passport line. The border agent reviewed all our passports.

Biker19 Posted August 6, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2018 At MIA and FLL (the airports, not the ports), the MP line is there but for the past 6+ months the scanner for the app is not being used, passport only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it wasn’t at PE either as has been reported here. It was not scanned in April and others have reported that it wasn’t used at PE recently.
