MamaParrotHead Posted November 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2004 We're playing it safe and easy, and booking flight day before departure. But how about return flights? I really don't think I'll feel like putting off getting home til the next day. Are the ships usually true to their word about arrival times back in port? Our itenerary says we'll be back in Miami at 8:00 a.m., would that be time enough to catch a cab and make a 1:25 flight out of there? How much is a cab to the airport from port? Thanks.

Globaliser Posted November 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Most people fly out the same day, so you should be fine. 1325 should be fine as well - the questions people ask are usually about flights that are rather earlier than that. Miami seaport to airport is a fixed rate cab fare, currently USD 21 (IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted November 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Anything after 12 noon is usually fine. It's about $20 / 20 minutes to the AP from the port by cab. Enjoy your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard54 Posted November 20, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2004 11:45 is pushing it a little but baring unforseen circumstances is should be fine. Make sure you have tags to be amoung the first ones off. The ships usually start unloading by 7:30-8am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatam Posted November 20, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2004 MamaParrothead, As I watch the Iowa/Wisconsin game, (my DH is from Monticello), I will advise you to book something later than 11:45. Book your flight later in the day, after 4:00PM, if possible. Don't forget, there will not only be your party, but at least 2000 EXTRA people (1000 going home and 1000 arriving) at the airport. Cruise days can make any airport go wacko. You don't want to end your cruise on a stressful note. If you need help finding reasonable air (not easy out of Iowa), email to greatam@earthlink.net with dates of your cruise. We are in the logisitics business, so booking people is no different than booking freight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
