I'm not sure I have seen this question answered and apologize in advance if it has.
We are considering doing DCL transfer back to MCO because we are flying JetBlue and could do the onboard checkin. In the past it has been more economical for my family of 5 to use a car service. However, since we are flying JetBlue, and could use the service, we are thinking it may be worth the extra money.
Our flight departs MCO 11:55am. The official DCL site says flight must be scheduled after 11:25am. Ok, that works. It then says We recommend that you allow a minimum of 4 hours at the beginning and end of your cruise for travel time, customs/immigrations clearances and security checks at Port Canaveral and the airport.
I don't think we need 4 hours as long as everything with the ship arriving in PC is on schedule. Will DCL tell us when we have to leave the ship? Will they assign us to a specific bus?? I'm afraid they will tell us we need to be the first ones off the ship in order to catch this 11:55am flight which in their minds is early - but as all of you know, is quite do-able.
If I have boarding passes in hand, and my bags are already checked, I'm happy getting to MCO at 10-10:30 which means I walk off the ship at 9. But if they assign a time, I'm sure it will be earlier. Thanks for thoughts on this. My TA actually said she hasn't really had many clients use the service
Trying not to project my feelings on that on her ability to successfully manage this trip of mine as we have used her before.
