martini cruiser Posted August 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I have an early flight from MIA 11:30am after the Oct 23, 2019 Insignia cruise and was wondering if anyone has any input on disembarkation in Miami. It is a Wednesday, Delta and I have global entry, and it is 1st class. Martini Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted August 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2019 you should be OK just get off as early as you can we have been at the airport by 9:30 after getting picked up at 9 am but security for DL/AA flights might be longer than with AC 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfguyhhi Posted August 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2019 martini, We regularly book the 10:15 DL flight to Atlanta out of Miami. We have always gotten to the airport by 9 AM by leaving the ship in the first group or 2 (we ask for 8 AM). Taxis are plentiful, the fare is fixed, and the trip is no more than 15 minutes. Delta has so few flights from Miami that curbside check-in and bag drop takes about 5 minutes and there are usually fewer than 10 people in the TSA line (and none in TSA pre-check which we have with DL). We understand that there is the possibility of a problem with the ship getting clearance to start disembarking, putting this timetable in jeopardy. We also understand we could be struck by a meteor. You should be fine with your 11:30 flight. If you were flying American, I wouldn't be so sure. Miami is their major Latin American hub, and the traffic is usually backed up at least a quarter mile back from the terminal as we drive by to the Delta terminal. Suffice it to say, we will never fly American out of Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted August 23, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Is your disembarkation after a ta or repo? If so add additional time for disembarkation. The ship must be cleared, including the crew before passengers are released. The Delta gates at MIA are not nearly as remote as they used to be which is great. If you need wheelchair assistance add additional wait time however. Enjoy your cruise and safe travels home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted August 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Just saw on the early morning news where MIA has the 3rd worst TSA waiting times in the US. Having said that I've never had issues getting to MIA after a cruise. I never book before noon but many times I've been at the gate by 9:30 or 10.

Nachosdelux Posted August 24, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2019 You should have no problem presuming the ship is on time. I would recommend a taxi as the fastest way to the airport. Recently tried UBer out of the port but it was a 15+ minute wait. Taxis were immediately available and about the same price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
