No way! Don't even think about it. I wouldn't book a flight leaving before Noon. When I was on the Breeze the first passengers weren't even off the ship till 9:00.

Seriously? My answer is NO.

I'm going to say no........but also give you my recent past experience.

I was on a B2B 1/13 and 1/19.

On the 1st week it was my turn around week so my debarkation wasn't scheduled until 10am.....the ship arrived in Miami around 6am (on a Saturday) and Platinum self-assist started about 6:45....there were probably 300 people doing self assist....they started zone debarkation around 8 and last call was at 9:30...On this week you MIGHT make it to the Miami airport by 7:30, but the lines were horrible.....more on that later.

On the 2nd week when we were debarking for real. We opted for Platinum zone 1 debarkation. As usual they started with Platinum self assist, but on this week it didn't start until 7:30....not sure what the delay was and since this was the Blogger's cruise and there were 600+ Platinum cruisers, it took a long time to get them off the ship. At 9:30 our zone 1A debarkation started and we were in a cab by 10am.

We were flying American and had a late flight with passes into the Admirals Club for the day, so we were in no hurry.....which is a good thing...

After getting luggage tags via the self-service kiosk and finally surrendering our luggage (it took more than 20 minutes)...we proceeded to the xray line at terminal D (which is where we were told to go). The line had at least 200 people in it. I saw several people that needed to go on through, but were denied.....

Finally when we hadn't moved 10 spaces up an agent said there was much less of a line at terminal E......so we got out of line and trekked down there...5+ minute walk....and it was true that there were only about 50 people in line, but it still took almost 20 minutes to get through security and go to our gate.

So the process of just driving to MIA and getting through security was over an hour process....

We were on the Breeze last week and I would say no... That is really, really pushing it... We were in zone 2 off the ship at 7:20, they called zone 1 and 2 together and at airport at I think 8AM using Carnivals transfers. The self assist were not called to disembark much before us if I am not mistaken so I would not chance it... I was freaking out about booking a flight at 11.

Now even if you can get off the ship and to the airport ontime keep in mind the security lines. LONG lines when we arrived at 8AM...

Hope all works out for you...

I would say no, too. We had a fast disembark from the Breeze but we they didn't start calling people until after 7am.

The earliest flight we have ever taken from any port is 11 am, and even then, we felt rushed and were worried the ship may return late.
