Risky flight time?

[jan6182]

I only got a few responses from the Florida Departures board, but I thought all of the NCL experienced cruisers could help me here...

 

We are flying out of PHL on embarkation day (Easter Sunday), non-stop, arriving at 9:40 am at FLL. Never been to FLL, and never flown Southwest. I am starting to worry about our arrival time. I have transportation booked through SAS and I understand that drive from FLL to POM can be done easily in under 1 hour. Concerned about the amount of traffic on a Sunday and all of the "what-ifs" like delays, weather, luggage delay/lost :(, etc. (This can really drive you crazy!)

 

Someone please advise! I appreciate your honesty...

Unless your ship has an unusually early departure time, I wouldn't be too concerned about the timing. People were boarding up to 4:00 PM for our 5:00 pm departure. If you are really nervous about it, purchase some travel insurance with flight delay (make sure it has the cruise ship provision!)

We always fly nonstop Southwest and arrive in FLL at about 10:40. This year we were an hour late taking off from PVD so due to snow and still had pleny of time to get to the ship. No sweat!
