Celebrity: Port Everglades@ 7am to catch 8:50am flight at FLL?

[fstuff1]

going solo with just a carry-on and backpack.

debarking either Fri 12/13 or, if i extend the cruise, sun 12/22.

 

since i only need to be at airport 1hr before flight because it's domestic (Washington DC/Dulles), is it possible to make 8:50am flight on United?

next non-stop flight is @ 2pm 😞

Me personally, that's too close to flight time!

[CruiserBruce]

Too tight. 

[bouhunter]

Wouldn't to it.

 

But hey, go for it and good luck.

Too many non-cruise passengers flying home for the holidays from FLL.  The roads and terminals will be crowded.  8:50 is just too early.

I think it would be very close, but since I don't stress at all about missing a flight, I would try it, and if I missed it I would just relax in the airline lounge for the next flight or spend the night, have dinner and a drink and leave the next day.😃

Such a tight schedule is not for me.  Have a Plan B as a back-up.

 

Why rush your disembarkation regardless of how "light" you are traveling?  Opt for a later disembarkation time, if you can.  You can stay up later the last night at sea, enjoy your rest without stress, arise at a reasonable time, and have a nice breakfast in the MDR before you disembark.

no

You always say that

Do you get  a refund if you miss the flight?  change without penalty?

 

Or do they  just  save a seat on the next flight  since you are a VIP 🤔

I would  not do it  but if it works for you go for it 

I would be 1st in line to get off the ship though

[BNBR]

Possible? Yes. But that's a close one. Would want to line up around 5:30-6 and make sure to be first in line or close to it. If it goes smooth and on time , super possible. And you would also need a nonchalant attitude about the potential of missing the flight, like Husky.  

 

If everything goes smooth, you would probably end up at your gate with plenty of time to spare.  But any delays and no way you make it.

The Friday choice is a bit better, in terms of airport traffic, but either one is too tight unless there is an acceptable alternative later flight.

[fstuff1]

well, the point is moot.
celebrity moved the  port to Miami because of docking conflict at port everglades. :o
(yes, causing much confusion and anger among passengers already booked with flights, hotels, transfers.)
