BCHappyGal Posted January 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2023 We are arriving for our cruise from a "red eye" flight - getting into Ft Lauderdale at 5:30am (UGH) Does anyone know how early the Retreat Embarkation Lounge opens? I know before our TA we arrived at port early and were seated in the Retreat Embarkation Lounge by 10:30am and there were already people there wwaiting to board.... I tried phoning the Retreat Concierge but she did not know! Thought we would go somewhere for breakfast then go to the port and wait in the lounge...

swigso Posted January 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Have a look at this: https://www.resortpass.com/hotels/marriott-fort-lauderdale-airport?utm_source=google-paid&utm_medium=paid-search&utm_campaign=T_Search_NB-Hotels-Dynamic&gclid=CjwKCAiA8OmdBhAgEiwAShr40zvsN0LcVSK27W4jJvfqzToWUC9OArSHeeoo6RSJHijf8sux7AddUBoCR0sQAvD_BwE it is the Marriott Ft Lauderdale airport. They have a shuttle and you can grab breakfast use the lounge maybe worth just giving them a call and ask to have breakfast and then chill in the lounge.

dgparent Posted January 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If you are in BC, I would strongly suggest you fly in a full day before the Cruise, I certainly would not rely on AC out of Vancouver to get me there on time. It would stress me out not to be there the day before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Wildcat Posted January 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Strange thread. I thought the OP was asking about a lounge at the port while waiting to board. This varies by port from non-existent to a really nice area with some snacks and beverages. Doesn't open till they start checking you in around 10ish +/-.

BCHappyGal Posted January 9, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yes I was asking about the Retreat Embarkation lounge at te Ft Lauderdale terminal which is really nice... I plan to grab the free shuttle from the airport to the Marriott for breakfast and then go to the port after breakfast... We have a direct flight Seattle to Ft Lauderdale... normally we fly in at least a day early but as this is a direct flight we should be fine... I would not cut it this close with a connecting flight... worse case senario is I get the next flight and arrive later in teh day but still in time...
