We are wondering what flight to book to get home to DTW (detroit). we can book a 9am flight or a 2pm flight. the ship "gets in" at 6am. can we get off the ship... to the airport and checked in/past security to be on the plane by 9am? looking for your experiences..

Making it for a 9am flight is so unlikely that you should consider it to be impossible. Stick with the 2pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted June 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2009 San Juan International... a 9am flight.....I sure wouldnt try it ! Take the 2pm flight, relax onboard as long as possible and then head to the airport... you will be glad you did. After a great cruise, why even try this and stress yourself out ?

CalGal777 Posted June 21, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2009 the 2pm gets into DTW at 10:30.. then get bags and a 2.5 hr drive home... them up for work at 6am....versus missing your flight and not getting home til the next day.....seems like 2:30 is the only way to fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinnana47 Posted June 21, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2009 My advice would be take the next day off from work (if you can) and book the later 2pm flight. The chances of making it off the ship and getting to the airport and boarding a 9am flight sounds pretty near impossible to accomplish. What if something happened to make the ship late arriving into port for debarkation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri1 Posted June 21, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Definitely 2:30 out of SJU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swom Posted June 21, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2009 ALWAYS take the next day off if you are suppose to work the day after your cruise. I'm assuming it's Sunday to Sunday and I took that Monday off. You got clothes to wash, yard to mow and crying to do because your cruise is over......................You really need an extra day to get your chores done and mourn.....
