Jenner10 Posted December 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what time is the best time to book a returning flight home leaving from Tampa? We are going on the Grandeur of The Seas from 9-14 and would like to book a return flight for 11:00 leaving Tampa. Does anyone have any suggestions whether this would be a mistake in trying to leave that early in case the ship would not get cleared? Has that ever happened to anyone?

WeLuvVacation Posted December 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2007 For me 11 would be a little early. I would feel rushed. I personally would shoot for 1 or 2 pm. RCCL recommends 12 noon or later for flights, I think. The one time we flew out of Miami we left around 1 - 2 pm with no snags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 10, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Personally, I'd take that 11 am flight! You shouldn't have a problem. There's nothing worse than trying to kill hours and hours waiting to get home after a great cruise. Just let the purser's desk know that you have an early flight--you will be in one of the 1st groups off the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra36 Posted December 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2007 The 11AM is certainly doable if all goes well with disembarkation. If you are one that may fret over not getting to the airport on time during your cruise I would opt for a later flight. Good luck with your plans and have a great cruise.

Rare silentbob007 Posted December 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Everything should be fine as long as there are no problems for the ship getting to the port. I seem to remember that there used to be delays where ships' entrance may be blocked by fuel ships ... but perhaps those have been taken care of.
