flamingo6363 Posted July 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi All, Will be staying in a full suite, have a 10:40 am flight booked. Will we have enough time to catch our flight? We will be flying first class if that matters. Thank You! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekel Posted July 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Where? The kind of cabin has nothing to do with anything. Do you have TSA Precheck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Without knowing the port and the airport, the answer i maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennybenny Posted July 29, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2019 That's cutting it close, but if all things align, no problem with arrival, walk off your luggage, you can likely make it. Be sure there is a viable Plan B. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted July 29, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Ok, if all goes well with the arrival time of the ship, and you are not coming in from a trans-Atlantic, you are probably just fine. Since you are in a suite, you can request the earliest possible disembarkation time. (IF you can take your luggage off by yourself, that will be nice and early, (shortly after 7 most likely) if not, the first disembarkation after the self-disembarkation groups are off the ship should still work), grab your cab, it is a short trip to the airport, there is curbside luggage check which I strongly recommend, and the precheck lines at the airport are pretty efficient. The only other hitch is if there are a lot of ships in port that day, and the ICE officers are spread pretty thin. Could back things up a bit, but even if you cannot disembark until a little after 8, you will have plenty of time. If somewhat later, you can still make the ship, your checked bags may catch up with you later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted July 29, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I agree with ggprincess2004, we do it all the time to catch the 10:40 Jet Blue flight to LAX from FLL... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know!! Thank you. I'm always too fearful to book so early, but my last flight was at noon and it felt like I was at the airport forever.

flamingo6363 Posted July 29, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thank you, it will not be a trans-atlantic it will be a 10 day Caribbean cruise crown princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy888 Posted July 29, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We are on a TRANSATLANTIC , flight was changed from 1:20pm to noon. How much time does transatlantic add to the embarkation time. We are TSA Precheck and the arrival is on a Tuesday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h-sar Posted July 29, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 29, 2019 My experiences based on 12 Caribbean cruises on Princes, all at the height of the season, Christmas break, and always with multiple ships (including at least one RCL mega ship) in Port E at the same time... We’ve made all our flights, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 pm...JetBlue, United, Delta. Have used a mix of Uber and cab, depending if there was a line up for cabs.

Yes, as long as the ship on time, you should have plenty of time if you do the express walk off in one of the first groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Ft. Lauderdale you should have no problem getting a noon flight. The airport is only 20 minutes away. Ships arriving from a Trans Atlantic into Port Everglades are faced with increased scrutiny of the crew, not usually the passengers, in addition to inspections of the ship (since it hasn't been in US ports for a long time) by various government agencies. Most frequently that impacts the passengers embarking - it is not unusual for embarkation times to be pushed back an hour or two - not those disembarking. Do try to be off the ship as early as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janina Posted July 29, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Yes no worries you should make it by doing a walk off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLCruise7 Posted July 29, 2019 #17 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'll be coming in to FLL from a Transatlantic cruise. Booked a 10:55 EZ air flight. Hopefully we won't be too delayed getting off. We have Global Entry, so hopefully we will not spend a lot of time in Customs. I always check to see what time EZ air lets you book & use that as a guideline if booking independently.

Be sure there is a viable Plan B. Good luck! Not cutting it close at all. We walked off early and arrived at our gate at FLL so early we could have even made a 9:40 flight. Yes, a major delay could cause problems, we were delayed 4 hours at Red Hook, Brooklyn when the Caribbean Princess hit the dock and destroyed the gangplank. That disrupted everyone's flight plans, except for a few who were catching early evening flights to Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted July 29, 2019 #19 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, flamingo6363 said: Sorry FLL and yes we have Goes and TSA Pre check Which ship? The biggies generally come in at 6:00am in which case your flight is "Princess legal". Smaller ones at 7:00am in which case you are only 20 minutes under the "Princess legal" window. I wouldn't worry too much. ETA - Oh I see you later posted it is the CROWN. So 7:00am. I still don't see an issue with an early disembark and the TSA Pre. Bags must be there generally one hour ahead of departure if you are checking any. Edited July 29, 2019 by steelers36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jeter02 Posted July 29, 2019 #20 Share Posted July 29, 2019 No worries. Completely doable as FLL airport is right around the corner 10-25 min drive. I'd Just make sure you do the walk off first thing in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jondfk Posted July 29, 2019 #22 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hate to be a wet blanket here, but I'd advise absolutely doing walk off / self debarkation. Our last two arrivals into FLL (one TA, one Eastbound Panama from LAX) we were still queued up for immigrations at 10:00 with one of the earliest non-walk off groups. Two, count 'em two, immigration officers for the entire ship (TA was CB, Panama was Coral) and the line was sloooowwww. Dozens, maybe hundreds, missed their flights, we didn't miss our 11:50 departure, fortunately. But I've never cut it closer. My advice, walk off, first group, fingers crossed. Sorry I can't be more positive. Missing your flight home is not a great way to end a lovely vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
