Making an 11:30 am flight after a cruise(port of Miami)

[paige2755]

Hello! First time cruising from Port of Miami. Is it reasonable to make an 11:30am flight after the cruise? We have Global Entry and plan to carry our bags. Thanks

There have been a few threads about this on the forums, one just recently - https://www.disboards.com/threads/is-a-noon-return-flight-too-early-on-day-getting-off-boat.3946319/

There can be any number of things that go sideways and screw up the plan but a 11:30 flight is a pretty safe bet. From the port of Miami to MIA it should be a very quick trip without traffic. As I mentioned in the thread linked above, we made a 09:30 flight with time to spare.

You'll be good. I've done an earlier flight than this before. Just walk off the boat as early as you can and you'll be good.

Two questions:
1. Are you flying out of MIA or FLL?
2. What day of the week do you disembark?

If you are going from port of Miami to MIA, you should be fine. Weekday or Weekend.

If you are going from port of Miami to FLL ~ Weekend, be first off and you should be good. Weekday, you are contending with rush hour traffic. I likely wouldn't risk it.
