dwalters214 Posted November 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Good Morning. My wife and I are taking several of our grown children and their spouses on a Celebrity cruise out of Port Everglades next April. It's been some years since we have cruised out of Port Everglades, and cannot remember of smooth the disembarkation process was. We are beginning to investigate flights home from FLL and would appreciate any thoughts on the process of clearing US Customs and Immigration (what time we may expect to clear the terminal). My wife and I have Global Entry, and I've learned that Port Everglades is one of the few ports using this express form of customs clearance, but our kids do not. There are flights home at 10:30,1:30 and 3:30. Any thoughts on how quickly we will clear the terminal would be greatly. Thank you.

Ashland Posted December 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I would do the 10:30 am flight from FLL and do a self assist walk off and grab a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trin880 Posted December 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2023 IMHO, 10:30 is too close for my personal comfort level, I just don't like to be rushed early in the morning after a nice vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanatravel Posted December 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I would go with 1:30PM. The earlier flight is too risky. When I was a TA I always advised to not book a flight until after noon. Enjoy your family and your Vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted December 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2023 PE is a small easy port to navigate and taxi's will be lined up. With FLL being so close there is absolutely no reason to wait until an afternoon flight. Walk off with your luggage and even with a 10:30am flight you'll be early. We've done this exact thing many times !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
