How early get on ship? Earliest flight to return home? Wonder of the Seas, 7 Night Western Caribbean (Port Canaveral)

[qwerty11]

For this trip, what is the earliest I can get on the ship? Also, what is the earliest I can schedule a flight to come home, after the cruise is over?

You get the boarding time when you check in. 10:30 is the earliest for our sailing on Wonder that leaves 11/20.   What time does your sailing arrive?  Allow for a few hours after that- generally noon or so for departures out of MCO from Canaveral.

If you are feeling lucky, four hours after scheduled arrival - otherwise, a couple more hours after that.

Travel is stressful enough without cutting things too close.  I fly in a few days ahead of the cruise and fly home the day after I disembark.  I understand that not everyone has the luxury of time, but after I retired many years ago - after traveling a lot for work - I swore I'd take the kore leisurely approach to getting there and back.
