12:30 flight too early?

[Clay Clayton]

I am considering a Costa Cruise that will dock on a Saturday in March at 8am, could I make a 12:30 SW flight?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Assuming you are docking in FLL, no problem.

If the ship docks in Mia, it is doable but need to be early off with transportation arranged for best success.

Sorry, Ship is scheduled to dock at Port Everglades at 8am, and given we are only coming from Nassau and leave the previous afternoon at 6pm, I can't imagine that we won't be there on time.

Clay, lots of things can happen:eek: but under normal circumstances a 12:30 flight is quite doable. We have used the ships transportation in the past, got there in plenty of time but FLL is a zoo on Sat & Sun.

Plenty of time!! I would go for it!! We made an 11:30 flight this past Feb. and had tons of time to kill at the airport.

Thanks for all the advice. I have booked it - figure I will save us some time by finding an internet cafe in Nassau the day before and going ahead and checking in so I think we will be fine even if we are running a little late.

 

We considered flying in the morning of the cruise, we could have saved $30pp in airfare plus a hotel room, but decided I would be nervous from now until we were wheels down in FLL in November...so now coming in on Friday night, so its off to Priceline I go next.

 

Thanks again everyone!
