Cruise- what time flights should I book?

[princess angel]

Hi everyone!
dh and i decided to go on the 7 night eastern cruise on sept 21st! I'm so excited, I have the plane tix on hold til tomorrow, I dont know what times to book.

I have two choices for arrival at Orlando airport, either:
8:47am or 10:55am
to me, one seems to early, but is 10:55 too late?
I want to board early so we can get Palo's ressies

then going home there are two different flights departing orlando at:
11:45am or 3:50pm
again, one seems to early, and the other too late.

what do you think? we will be taking Tiffany Town Car both ways.

thanks!

Laura - For your arrival, 8:47 is not too early!! By the time you get your bags and get to the port, it'll probably be around 10:30AM. Then you need to check in, etc. and by then your wait won't be too long. However, if you arrive at MCO at 10:55, boarding may have already started by the time you get to the ship! I'd be much more comfortable getting there early - especially if the plane's a little late!

As for your return flight - take the 11:45!!! That's perfect and you can make it easily enough. Trust me, a 3:50 flight will make you feel like you're in the airport all day! 11:45 is just right.

I agree with Beano. Go with 8:47 for arrival and 11:45 for departing.
