DCL Transfer to MCO

[poohs4me]

Will DCL let me book a transfer if I am scheduled on a 10:55 flight?

I know the pros and cons of a flight this early but my question is more about will DCL allow the booking?

No. DCL recommends flights after 11:30. They typically will not accept reservations for DCL transfers if your flight is earlier than that.

They 'will' accept it, but at your risk, you should make it. I have been at MCO by 8.45am.

Thank you! I thought I recalled that being the "recommendation " but didn't know how firm that was

DCL will not allow you to participate in the Onboard Airline Check-in program. They might allow you to take the transfers, only because I don't believe you are required to share flight information to book that.

Enjoy your cruise!

They will let you book transfers but will not allow you to participate in the Onboard Airline Check In program. To participate your flight would have to be 11:30 or after and you must be on a participating airline. You will also have be off the ship and on a bus by at least 8:00 am. You may even get off earlier if you do Express Walk Off.

@lanejudy, @mmouse37, thanks for the clarification. I suppose I got the wrong idea about the transfers because we always do the Onboard Airline Check in and DCL transfers. I just figured the same conditions would apply.
