ftblhead Posted May 19 #1 Share Posted May 19 We are scheduled to arrive into Port Miami at 8:00 am and our flight leaves at 11:00 am from Miami airport.. Shuttle service was purchased from Carnival Cruise. What are our chances? I still have time to book a later flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cienfuegos Posted May 20 #2 Share Posted May 20 Do you have TSA pre-check or Global Entry? If so, I would probably try for it. Carry off your own luggage, use Uber / Lyft rather than waiting for a shuttle to fill up. There are a number of reports on this forum of travelers who have done this recently, and their thoughts / suggestions. You can search for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ship actually does not arrive until 8AM, that means you're not getting off until probably 9AM. An 11AM flight is really risky unless you have TSA Precheck and are not checking any luggage if you're flying on American.(Long lines for both). Definitely not if you're using the Carnival shuttle bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, couple things here. 8am is a late arrival. 7am is usually the latest the ships tie up. Secondly, when you booked the transfer, did they ask you what your flight schedule is, and did you answer truthfully? If so, they are pretty much guaranteeing you will make your flight, as they will schedule your transfer so you can make it . Otherwise they wouldn't have not have sold you that transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted May 20 #5 Share Posted May 20 Every cruise I have ever been on out of Miami ships are usually tied up between 5am and 6am. Express walk off around 7am. So as long as there is no delay getting into Miami you should be at the airport before 8am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cienfuegos Posted May 20 #6 Share Posted May 20 Miami cruise port to airport traffic at 7 or 8 am on a Saturday / Sunday tends to be pretty light 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I did that we ended up sitting on the shuttle for a long time waiting for it to fill up. You’re better off just leaving the ship and getting a taxi to the airport, it will be much quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, you should never take the shuttle as it is hit or miss if you leave fast or sit for 30 minutes, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
