can we make an 11:30 miami flight from the port?

Please help....we are taking a cruise which arrives in miami at 7am. I don't know the time of disembarkation but we have a flight that departs MIA airport at 11;30am....will we have enough time to take a cab from the ship to the airport and make our flight? any help would be appreciated!

It depends on what is happening that day & if the customs people are on time etc...

A few weeks ago we were off the ship & at the airport by 9:15

fast forward 10 days my friend did not get a taxi until near 11 am

The marathon was held that morning & roads were blocked

good luck

Probably you will make it

It really depends. First Immigration/Customs would have to clear the ship early-and that depends on where it's been. You would have to do early walk off and handle all your own luggage without any assistance. Then you would have to find a taxi I have waited in a taxi line for over an hour-depends on how many ships in port. On a good day the trip from FLL to MIA is about a 20 to 30 min ride depending on traffic. MIA airport screening can either be a quick process or a long one. Sure, some have done it with any problems and then I have seen where the ship wasn't cleared until after 9am.

Better be able to because we have a flight out of FLL for 11:15. Most people say self disembark and we'll be fine so you should be too.

Probably but I would not take the chance. I prefer to wait around the airport for a few hours to avoid the chance of missing my flight.

DON

No problem...we always take the 10:45 flight home....and we are waiting in the airport for over 2 hours. You can be off the ship quite early...it's a 20 min. cab ride. We NEVER do self disembark! We tell them we have an early flight, and are one of the 1st groups off....no worries!

You are docking in Miami & flying from FLL ???

Hope you have a Plan B

Hope you don't have any traffic problems between the 2 cities.

Too close for me.

Why be stressed on the last day of your cruise?

Personally I would not want to be stressed on the last day of the cruise.

Too many things can happen.

If you are able to self disembark - carry all your luggage off the ship yourself without any assistance -- then you should be able to make your flight.

we are docking in Miami and flying out of Miami airport...
